Teaser of Arulnithi-starrer ‘Dejavu’ garners million views

The teaser of director Arvindh Srinivasan’s upcoming investigative thriller “Dejavu”, featuring actor Arulnithi in the lead, has garnered a whopping one million views on YouTube.

As many as 28,000 people gave the film’s teaser a thumbs-up sign on YouTube.

The film’s story revolves around Arulnithi, who plays an IPS officer in the film.

The teaser gives away the fact that there is a cat and mouse game going on between the mastermind of a crime and Arulnithi and how, until a point, the criminal is a step ahead of the cop.

Talking to IANS, Arvindh, who is pleased with the response to the film’s teaser, said: “We all come across several reports on crime in newspapers. One such report made me think of a hypothetical situation and that proved to be the spark for the story of ‘Dejavu’.”

The film, which is a bilingual, is to be simultaneously released in both Tamil and Telugu.

However, Ghibran, who has scored music for the film, has used a different version of the background score in the second version, to ensure it suits the taste of the audience.

Arvindh said: “In fact, the background score for both versions will appear to be different after a point.”

The exciting teaser has raised expectations from the film, which has cinematography by PG Muthiah.

Apart from Arulnithi, the film also features Smruthi Venkat, Madhoo (Madhubala), Achyuth Kumar, and Raghav Vijay among others.
