Pokkiri' Preview - Destroyer of Evil

'Pokkiri' Preview - Destroyer of Evil


Vijay plays a ruthless mafia man, who kills anybody for money. He falls in love with Asin, who plays an aerobic instructor, and it is love at first sight. Asin also falls in love with Vijay, but hesitates to confess her love for him, as he is a reckless criminal. Though a goon, Vijay has certain principles which leads to an enmity with Prakash Raj, the biggest mafia don in the town. The rest of the story is all about how Vijay settles scores with Prakash Raj.

Ilayathalapathy Vijay plays the lead role of Pokkiri. Pairing up with him is Asin, and this is her second movie with Vijay after their blockbuster hit 'Sivakaasi'. Choreographer and former hero, now turned director Prabudeva handles the direction of this movie. Manisharma, who has scored music for previous Vijay films like Shajahan, Youth and a song in Thirupachi, scores the music of the film.

The rest of the cast includes Prakash Raj, Napolean, Nasser, Vadivelu, Mukesh Tiwari, Sreeman, Anand Raj and others. Nirav Shah handles the camera, Fefsi Vijayan is in charge of the stunts. Editing is by Kola Baskar & Kathir handles the Art department.

This film is a sincere remake of the Telugu mega blockbuster movie "Pokiri' starring Mahesh Babu and Ileana in lead roles. In fact, this is Vijay's second remake of a Mahesh Babu film, with the first one being 'Ghilli' which was a remake of Mahesh's "Okkadu". Both films were blockbuster hits, and here one is hoping that history repeats itself. Will Pokkiri re-write the records set by Vijay's earlier films? The industry and the whole team predicts that it has all the ingredients to do so!
