The remaining 60 per cent will revolve around mystery. To put it correctly in English, it will deal with astral travel. If you watch the last shot of this film's trailer, you will see the astral body of the character coming out. Fantasy is a favourite genre of mine as it helps me see cinema in a larger than life manner.
So, combining both fantasy and an investigative thriller in equal measure, we have made this film."
The film, which is to hit screens on June 27, will apart from Vijay Antony, also feature actors Ajay Dhishan, Samuthirakani, Brigida, Deepshikha, Mahanathi Shankar and Vinodh Sagar in pivotal roles.
Music for the film is by Vijay Antony, whose wife Fatima Vijay Antony has produced the film. Cinematography is by S Yuva and editing is Leo John Paul himself.

Shannon Sharpe's ESPN return never happening, says Le Batard as Disney wants no part of rape controversy
Shannon Sharpe's ESPN career faces uncertainty following sexual assault allegations (Getty Images) I n the wake of sexual assault allegations, Shannon Sharpe's once-promising ESPN career may be nearing an unofficial end, according to former network personality Dan Le Batard. The media veteran recently weighed in on the controversial case during an episode of The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz, casting serious doubt on the Hall of Fame tight end's return to the 'worldwide leader in sports.' Shannon Sharpe 's future at ESPN appears grim after civil lawsuit bombshell Shannon Sharpe's future at ESPN is hanging by a thread as Dan Le Batard suggests Disney wants no association with the NFL legend amid explosive rape allegations and public backlash. 'I guess we probably all know at this point that Shannon Sharpe is not likely to ever work at ESPN again, right?' Le Batard remarked. The speculation comes months after Sharpe was accused of sexual assault in a $50 million civil lawsuit filed in Nevada. The complaint includes claims of assault, sexual battery, and coercion, stemming from alleged incidents in late 2024 and early 2025. Max Kellerman is BACK! Will Shannon work at ESPN again? Would Max/Stephen A politics have worked? Sharpe, who joined ESPN's 'First Take' in 2023 following his high-profile exit from FS1's 'Undisputed,' has denied all allegations through his legal team. In a statement issued earlier this year, attorney Lanny J. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Nhà container vận chuyển thực sự có giá bao nhiêu? - Xem giá Shipping Container Homes Tìm hiểu thêm Undo Davis said: 'Mr. Sharpe categorically denies all allegations of coercion or misconduct — especially the gross lie of 'rape' — and will not submit to what he sees as an egregious attempt at blackmail.' Despite his public denial, Sharpe stepped away from ESPN in April, stating: 'At this juncture I am electing to step aside temporarily from my ESPN duties. I will be devoting this time to my family, and responding and dealing with these false and disruptive allegations set against me.' Stephen A. Smith 'hopeful' for Shannon Sharpe's return, but public pressure looms large Stephen A Smith on Lebron James - Shannon Sharpe - Shedeur Sanders - ESPN - Michael Jordan - Podcast While Sharpe had initially signaled intentions to return in time for the NFL preseason, that timeline now seems increasingly unlikely. Even ESPN has distanced itself, telling the New York Post, 'This is a serious situation, and we agree with Shannon's decision to step away.' Stephen A. Smith, ESPN's marquee figure, offered a measured show of support, saying in May, 'He is emphatic that he is innocent… But the court of public opinion is what the Disneys of the world and others concern themselves with.'

"Dude just craves attention": Jason Kelce strips to red, white, and blue undies in epic charity appearance and fans starts criticizing him
Jason Kelce turns heads at charity event with wild, nearly-naked entrance in patriotic undies (Image via X) Jason Kelce knows how to throw a party—and how to make an entrance that no one will forget. The former Philadelphia Eagles center turned heads and dropped jaws on Wednesday night during his annual celebrity bartending event in Sea Isle City, New Jersey, all in the name of a good cause. Jason Kelce goes nearly nude in star-spangled speedo for unforgettable charity event moment This year, the seven-time Pro Bowler took the stage at his 'Team 62' Ocean Drive charity event not just to mix drinks but to shake up the crowd. And shake things up he did—by dramatically ripping off his American flag shorts to reveal nothing but a red, white, and blue speedo underneath. The bold display instantly electrified the room as fans erupted into cheers and laughter. 'We have no words…' the official Eagles account posted on X, summing up what most viewers were likely thinking. Kelce, 37, didn't stop there. He completed the look with a too-short Eagles tank top and the classic white New Balance sneakers, embodying dad-bod confidence like only he can. The moment was instantly viral—funny, wild, and perfectly on-brand for the ever-charismatic former NFL star. The annual event, which Kelce has hosted for five consecutive years, is dedicated to raising funds for the Eagles Autism Foundation. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 3-Bedroom Container Homes for Seniors in the Philippines 2025 - Prices May Surprise You!

Back in 2023, Kelce even competed in a beer-chugging contest, downing 30 ounces in under six seconds—a feat that still lives in Sea Isle City lore. While Travis Kelce was noticeably absent—currently at Tight End University in Nashville—fans hardly missed the younger Kelce sibling. As one fan joked, 'One pair of Kelce thighs certainly seems to be enough.' Of course, Jason's viral moment also drew a wave of thirsty comments a fan with user name @TheMetsX said this act as "Inappropriate", another fan @E_TheCowboysFan said,"Buddy retired and became an absolute joke. Needs rehab." A third user @btclfgmen commented, "What a fucking tool.. on brand for that loser family."

" Jason Kelce's hilarious strip-down to his underwear for charity (Image via x) But his wife, Kylie Kelce, wasn't having it. On her June 19 episode of the Not Gonna Lie podcast, she responded sharply: 'They're f***ing around because they're saying things like how fine my husband is or that, like, they would like a piece… I'mma need you to sit down. Put your tongues back in your mouth and be respectful.' Despite her warnings, Jason's cheeky confidence makes it tough for fans to behave. With his tank tops, dad sneakers, and total lack of shame, Kelce has unofficially claimed the title of America's most lovable ex-lineman—and his charity events keep proving it, one wild reveal at a time.

Taylor Swift dragged into Travis Kelce drama as Chiefs fans blast him for fading performance and risking Patrick Mahomes' trust
Travis Kelce faces scrutiny regarding his performance (Getty Images) Travis Kelce may have Taylor Swift cheering him on from the sidelines, but fans and analysts aren't convinced that the Kansas City Chiefs tight end still has the magic he once did. After what many call the worst season of his career, Kelce's return to the NFL is being met with both celebration and skepticism—and his relationship with Swift is only adding more heat to the conversation. Chiefs fans blast Travis Kelce for fading performance and risking Patrick Mahomes' trust Travis Kelce's NFL future is under fire as fans question his declining performance and blame Taylor Swift's influence, raising doubts about his reliability for Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs. — Chiefs (@Chiefs) 'It wasn't that hard of a decision,' Kelce said of his choice to return, brushing off retirement rumors. But on The Rich Eisen Show, Eisen didn't hold back: 'His numbers last year… the fewest receiving yards in a season for him since 2015... 823 yards.' Eisen even corrected himself, pointing out that in any season Kelce has started 16 games, those were the lowest stats of his career. Kelce also recorded just three touchdowns in 2024—another personal low. In the Super Bowl, where fans anticipated another round of Mahomes-to-Kelce brilliance, 'there was zero magic on that night,' Eisen noted. Is Patrick Mahomes losing faith in his most trusted weapon? As Kelce approaches his 36th birthday, many are questioning whether Patrick Mahomes can continue to rely on him. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Your Finger Shape Says a Lot About Your Personality, Read Now Tips and Tricks Undo 'At some point, Mahomes will no longer have Kelce.

Rich Eisen: What's at Stake for Travis Kelce & the Chiefs This Season | The Rich Eisen Show While Kelce is still seen as a guaranteed first-ballot Hall of Famer, his current play is raising eyebrows—and fans are growing frustrated. Some argue that Swift's presence, while supportive, may also be a distraction as Kelce juggles life in the spotlight with his on-field responsibilities. There's no doubt Swift played a role in Kelce's return. Headlines like 'Taylor Swift made his comeback possible' have gone viral. But critics aren't so sure it's a good thing. With media and fan attention split between his romance and his stats, some believe Kelce's priorities are misaligned.
