'Rendagam' teaser: Arvind Swami, Kunchacko Boban's gangster-saga will be intense
The teaser of the upcoming film Rendagam, starring Kunchacko Boban, Arvind Swami, Jackie Shroff, and Eesha Rebba among others, was dropped recently. The 1:23-minute-long clip gives a glimpse of an action thriller with a don's saga as its base. Directed by Fellini TP (of Theevandi fame) and written by S Sanjeev, the project has been bankrolled by actor Arya alongside Shaji Nadesan and Cineholix.
Why does it matter?
Rendagam is a bilingual film, which will be released in Malayalam as Ottu. The film marks the Kollywood debut of Boban and the comeback of Swami to Mollywood after about 25 years. His last Malayalam film was 1996's Devaraagam. Rendagam is one of the most-awaited flicks for both Kollywood and Mollywood fans. And the promising teaser has just upped our expectations from this film.
Looks of lead actors' characters have increased our curiosity
The teaser shows Swami as a dhoti-clad ruthless gangster, who seems to suffer from memory loss. His salt and pepper look adds more swag to his characterization. Boban surprises us with a fresh look, which is different from how we have seen him so far. Rather than his usual simple costumes, he appears in dapper outfits and sports a slicked back hairstyle.
Expecting wholehearted love from you all, wrote Boban
The teaser was unveiled by Karthi. He captioned the video as, "Happy to share the dynamic Rendagam teaser from @thearvindswami & @kunchacks." Later, Boban shared the video and wrote, "Presenting the Teaser of "RENDAGAM"!! My first Tamil movie. Happy and honored to share screen space with Arvind Swami Sir and expecting wholehearted love from you all. Thank you Arya brother for being family! (sic)"
