Dhanush plays a robber in ‘Kara’; trailer promises a gripping thriller in store
Chennai, April 20 (IANS/WISHAVWARTA) The makers of director Vignesh Raja’s eagerly awaited action entertainer ‘Kara’, featuring actor Dhanush in the lead, have now released a gripping trailer of the film, which shows that Dhanush plays a robber who is desperate to make a certain sum of money in the film.
Actress Mamitha Baiju, who plays the female lead in the film, shared the link to the trailer of the film on her X timeline and wrote,”#KaraTrailer is here.#KaraFromApril30. Directed by @vigneshraja89. Produced by @IshariKGanesh. A @gvprakash musical.”
The trailer shows the story is set at a time when the Gulf war erupts. To be more precise, at a time when Iraq set fire to hundreds of oil wells in Kuwait. The act has a big impact on global economy in general and Indian economy in particular.
We then see Kara (Dhanush) breaking into a bank and robbing it. The very next morning, he breaks into another bank and robs it as well. Suraj Venjaramoodu, who plays a cop investigating the bank robberies, realises that the suspect has an urgent need for money which is why he is on a robbing spree.
The trailer also shows that Dhanush, who had gone away from his family, has now returned a prodigal son. His family thinks he has returned a reformed man. However, he has not.
It is evident that he needs a huge sum of money and he does not have any other means to make that money other than by robbing banks and wealthy people.
