"A journey we can't forget, a big step closer to you. #ConCity - WRAPPED UP! - Power House Pictures"

Chennai, May 13

The makers of director Harish Durairaj's eagerly awaited comedy family entertainer, featuring actors Arjun Das and Anna Ben in the lead, have now announced that shooting for the film had been wrapped up.

Taking to its X timeline, Power House Pictures, the production house producing the film, wrote, "A journey we can't forget, a big step closer to you. #ConCity - WRAPPED UP! A film by @harish_durairaj, coming soon to theatres near you. An @RSeanRoldan musical. Starring @iam_arjundas @benanna_love @iYogiBabu #Vadivukkarasi #Akhilan. @powerhousepic in association with @Maaliandmaanvi @kloutstudios and @SilverTreeOffl."

The makers have already disclosed the characters played by Arjun Das, Anna Ben, Yogi Babu, Arul Doss, Abdul Razzak, Shahji Chen, Ponvannan, Sathanand, Rage Esakki, Madhan Dakshinamoorthy, Imman Annachi, Ramesh Thilak, Thambi Ramaiah and Bharadwaj Rangan in their film.

A teaser that the makers had released earlier has triggered huge interest in the film.

The teaser opens with Arjun Das getting threatened over phone by a money lender. He questions Arjun Das on why he had stopped picking up his calls.

From the phone conversation that Arjun Das has with this person, it becomes evident that Arjun Das has fled with his family after locking his home. The money lender threatens him saying, "Do you think I can't find you? If you think you can cheat me of my money, no matter where you run to, I will come and cut your family members to pieces before your eyes." Arjun Das sternly tells him he won't pay and asks him to do what he can.

Soon after the conversation, Arjun Das loses his temper and starts hurling things he can lay his hands on in anger. When he picks up a small handy machine which looks like a receipt printer in a grocery store to hurl it, lighting strikes and it happens to touch the machine in Arjun Das's hand.

Soon after, everytime, he presses a button for a receipt, 500 Rupee notes begin to come out of the machine. Soon, Arjun Das is in a position to repay the money lender. But it is not just Arjun Das who has found out that he has a machine that can cough up money...

Written and directed by Harish Durairaj, the film, apart from Arjun Das and Anna Ben, also features Yogi Babu, Vadivukkarasi, Imman Annachi and Akhilan in pivotal roles.

On the technical front, the film has music by Sean Roldan and cinematography by Aravind Viswanathan. Editing for the film is by Arul Moses A while production design is by Raj Kamal. Costumes in the film have been designed by Navaa Rambo Rajkumar while lyrics for the songs in the film have been penned by Mohan Rajan.

While the dances in the film have been choreographed by Santhosh, the fight sequences have been choreographed by Action Sandhosh.

Anna Ben is such a fresh talent! Loved her in Kappela and Helen. Pairing with Arjun Das is unexpected but exciting. The machine printing money plot reminds me of 'Bruce Almighty - funny concept! Hope they don't waste Yogi Babu's comedy timing 🤞

Finally some good news from Kollywood! After all those serious films, a family entertainer with comedy is much needed. The cast is solid - Vadivukkarasi, Thambi Ramaiah, Imman Annachi... these are comedy legends. Just hope the story doesn't get too preachy about money

The concept is interesting but I hope they handle the money lender threat scene sensitively. In real life, many people struggle with loan sharks and it's no joke. But as a film, if it's done with comedy touch, it could work. Sean Roldan musical always hits different 🎵

Waiting for this one! Arjun Das proved his acting range with his voice modulation in Master. The teaser description sounds wild - a receipt printer that prints money? Sign me up! Also, great to see Power House Pictures backing unique concepts. Hope the VFX team delivers on the lightning scene ⚡

Honestly, I'm a bit skeptical. The 'magic machine' trope has been done before in Tamil cinema (remember 'Ullathai Allitha' with the magic chair?). But if Harish Durairaj can bring a fresh take and keep it entertaining, it could be a fun family watch. Anna Ben and Arjun Das chemistry will be key
