Chennai, Nov 23 (NationPress) Actor Nivin Pauly has hinted that the upcoming schedule for Bakkiyaraj Kannan's highly-anticipated action thriller 'Benz', starring Raghava Lawrence in the lead role, has officially been completed.
Nivin shared a series of images from the film on his social media, captioning them with, "Darkness Loading......⏳." He tagged the entire cast and crew involved in the project, adding hashtags like #ScheduleWrap #BenzMovie #Walter.
The buzz around ScheduleWrap has generated excitement among fans, signaling that the team has indeed concluded this phase of filming.
In July, esteemed director Lokesh Kanakaraj, one of the film's producers, confirmed that they had completed the second schedule and anticipated wrapping up the project within the next three to four months.
In a video interview, Lokesh Kanakaraj, who co-produces the film with Sudhan Sundaram and Jagadish Palanisamy, stated, "Our next film is Benz. They have finished the second schedule if I am not wrong. Two schedules are done. Philo is the editor. I will check with him for updates. They are likely to finish it in three or four months. We have other projects lined up as well."
Given Lokesh Kanakaraj's comments, many speculate that this could mark the final filming schedule for the movie.
The film has generated significant interest for various reasons, with the most notable being Nivin Pauly’s debut as a villain.
When unveiling his character, Bakkiyaraj Kannan teased on social media, "Soft boy? That was yesterday. Nivin Pauly 2.0—our certified Baddie, breaking hearts and breaking rules. Meet #Walter, @nivinofficial."
The character promo showcases chilling sounds from a room, hinting at violence. Nivin Pauly, adorned in gold and wielding a bloody hammer, steps out grinning, revealing golden teeth.
He queries another character, also played by him, for a name. The unsuspecting character, initially mispronouncing 'Benz', quickly corrects himself. The antagonist, Walter, ominously remarks, "When a head inside a helmet itself is cut like the head of a goat, who..." and laughs. The promo concludes with Walter describing himself as "A dirty mind, a beautiful heart—a deadly combination. Love you, Walter!"
This promo suggests that Nivin Pauly may portray two distinct characters within the film.
Written and directed by Bakkiyaraj Kannan, the film features music by the emerging sensation Sai Abhyankkar. Cinematography is handled by Goutham George, while editing is managed by Philomin Raj. The art direction is spearheaded by Jacki, and Pradeep Boopathi serves as the creative producer.
