Chennai, July 17 (NationPress) Esteemed director Lokesh Kanakaraj, who is among the producers of the highly anticipated action thriller 'Benz', featuring Raghava Lawrence and Nivin Pauly in lead roles, has confirmed that the team has successfully completed its second shooting schedule.
The renowned director mentioned that the film is expected to be finished within the next three to four months.
In a video interview with a media outlet, Lokesh Kanakaraj, along with producers Sudhan Sundaram and Jagadish Palanisamy, stated, "Our upcoming film is Benz. If I’m not mistaken, they have wrapped up the second schedule. Two schedules are complete. Philo is the editor, and I will consult him for updates on the film's progress. They should be able to complete it in about three or four months. We have other projects lined up as well."
The film has generated significant buzz, particularly because it marks the first time Nivin Pauly will portray a villain.
In a character reveal via his X timeline, director Bakkiyaraj Kannan introduced, "Soft boy? That was yesterday. Nivin Pauly 2.0—our certified baddie, breaking hearts, breaking rules, & breaking bad. Meet #Walter, @nivinofficial."
The character promo released by the makers starts with ominous sounds from a room, suggesting a violent scene. Soon, Nivin Pauly, adorned in gold jewelry and wielding a massive metal hammer with blood dripping from it, emerges with a sinister smile revealing golden teeth.
He turns to another character (also portrayed by Nivin Pauly) and asks for a person's name. The other character, depicted as naive and uneducated, mistakenly says 'Bens' before correcting himself to 'Benz'. This reveals the antagonist's name as Walter, who ominously remarks, "When a head inside a helmet itself is cut like the head of a goat, who..." followed by a sinister laugh. The character promo concludes with Walter stating, "A dirty mind, a beautiful heart—a deadly combination. Love you, Walter!"
The promo suggests that Nivin Pauly might be playing two roles in the film.
Written and directed by Bakkiyaraj Kannan, the film features music by the talented Sai Abhyankkar. The cinematography is handled by Goutham George, with editing by Philomin Raj. The art direction is managed by Jacki, and Pradeep Boopathi serves as the creative producer.
