Why does this story matter?

And he faced back-to-back failures with films before Mahaan. This includes Kadaram Kondan (2019), Saamy Square (2018), and Sketch (2018), to name a few.

Former Indian cricketer Irfan Pathan is making his movie debut with Cobra and it is anticipated that he will play the main antagonist. Miya George, Roshan Mathew, and Sarjano Khalid are also a part of the casting.
