Chennai, June 10 (NationPress) If the latest buzz in the Tamil film industry holds any truth, Madonna Sebastian is set to portray one of the three leading female roles in the highly anticipated action thriller 'Benz', directed by Bakkiyaraj Kannan and starring Raghava Lawrence as the main character.
The film's creators have officially stated that 'Benz' will be integrated into Lokesh Kanakaraj's LCU (Lokesh Cinematic Universe). Reports suggest that Madonna Sebastian might reprise her role as Elisa Das, a character she previously portrayed in Lokesh Kanakaraj's 'Leo'.
Furthermore, it's rumored that the film team is in discussions with Priyanka Arul Mohan and Samyuktha for the remaining two female lead roles. Additionally, talks are reportedly ongoing with Madhavan for a part in the film.
While none of these claims have been officially confirmed, it has been announced that Nivin Pauly will play the antagonist known as Walter.
A character promo featuring Nivin Pauly was recently released, showcasing a scene that starts with ominous sounds from a room, suggesting a violent act. Nivin, adorned in gold jewelry and wielding a large metallic hammer dripping with blood, emerges smiling to reveal his golden teeth.
He turns to ask another character (also portrayed by Nivin Pauly) for a name, leading to a humorous exchange where the naive character initially mispronounces the name as 'Bens', later correcting it to 'Benz'.
Walter ominously states, "When a head inside a helmet is severed like that of a goat, who..." before laughing darkly. The promo concludes with Walter declaring, "A dirty mind, a beautiful heart—a deadly combination. Love you, Walter!"
The film has generated immense excitement, especially with the involvement of renowned director Lokesh Kanakaraj, alongside producers Sudhan Sundaram and Jagadish Palanisamy.
The promo hints that Nivin Pauly may portray two distinct characters in the film.
Written and directed by Bakkiyaraj Kannan, music for the film is composed by the talented Sai Abhyankkar. The cinematography is handled by Goutham George, while editing is managed by Philomin Raj. The art direction is by Jacki, with Pradeep Boopathi serving as the creative producer.
