In an ambitious, record-breaking move for Tamil cinema, versatile actor and comedian Yogi Babu has been locked to portray 11 different characters in the upcoming grand-budget pan-Indian film. Helmed by debutant director R. Kishore Kumar (former associate of Mohan Raja), this high-octane comedy-action-thriller shows Yogi Babu stepping into a lot of new territory as he plays everything from the main protagonist to the ultimate antagonist.
Yogi Babu takes on the hero, villain, and nine other distinct characters
The makers have revealed that Yogi Babu will be seen playing all the 11 major characters in the film, right from the protagonist to the antagonist. The roles are also double characters, each with a different look, body language, and even a unique language or dialect. The bold casting choice is likely to take the actor into uncharted territory and could be a pivotal moment in his career. The feat is also over the constant talk of Kamal Haasan who plays ten characters in ‘Dasavathaaram’ and is one of the most talked about productions going on today.
The action thriller revolves around a: high-stakes black box mission
The story begins with a mysterious crash of an Indian Army helicopter. The team embarks on a challenging task of retrieving the missing black box of the helicopter to find out the truth about the crash. They face various twists, exciting action scenes, and funny moments in their quest. Along with Yogi Babu, the film has Aditi Ravi, Redin Kingsley, VTV Ganesh, Panju Subbu and A. Venkatesh in important roles. The first schedule has been completed, while the next round of filming is planned in the United Kingdom and Kenya.
Another challenging lead role for the versatile actor
Over the years, Yogi Babu has progressed from being one of the busiest comedians in Tamil cinema to a reliable lead actor with successful films like ‘Dharma Prabhu,’ ‘Gurkha,’ ‘Mandela,’ ‘Yaanai Mugathaan,’ ‘Lucky Man,’ ‘Boomer Uncle,’ and ‘Thokudurai.’ He has also given memorable supporting performances in films like ‘Kolamaavu Kokila.’ Yogi Babu, who essayed 11 different roles in one film, is now all set to take on one of the biggest acting challenges of his career, and expectations are sky high for a truly one-of-a-kind entertainer.
