Chennai, April 5

The makers of director Harish Durairaj's eagerly awaited comedy family entertainer, featuring actors Arjun Das and Anna Ben in the lead, on Sunday revealed the character played by actor Yogi Babu in their film.

The makers disclosed that the actor plays a character called Jacky in the film.

Taking to its social media timelines, Power House Pictures, the production house producing the film, wrote, "No dearth of comedy when the OG is in the frame! Meet @iYogiBabu as Jacky in the world of #ConCity.A film by @harish_durairaj, coming soon to theatres. Starring @iam_arjundas @benanna_love #Vadivukkarasi #Akhilan. @powerhousepic in association with @Maaliandmaanvi @kloutstudios and @SilverTreeOffl. A @RSeanRoldan musical."

On Saturday, the makers had revealed that actor Arul Doss played a character called Gopi in the film. Prior to that, on Friday, the makers had disclosed that actor Radha Ravi played a character called Abdul Razzak while actor Shahji Chen would be seen as MLA Senthil in the film.

The makers have already disclosed the characters played by 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 will, apart from Arjun Das and Anna Ben, also feature Yogi Babu, Vadivukkarasi, Imman Annachi and Akhilan in pivotal roles.

On the technical front, the film will have 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.

Interesting concept. Arjun Das in a comedy is a fresh change from his usual intense roles. Hope the story does justice to the premise and doesn't just rely on the gimmick of the machine. The supporting cast with veterans like Radha Ravi and Ponvannan looks solid.

As someone who enjoys Tamil cinema, the teaser had a great hook. The mix of comedy and a slight fantasy element with the machine could work really well. Sean Roldan's music is always a plus. Looking forward to it.

Anna Ben is a fantastic actress, glad to see her in a Tamil film. But the article focuses so much on the male cast and characters. I hope her role is substantial and not just a decorative one. The industry needs to do better by its leading ladies.

The premise reminds me of old comic caper films. With this ensemble cast, it should be a laugh riot. Yogi Babu, Thambi Ramaiah, Imman Annachi... comedy is guaranteed! Just hoping the story is tight. Releasing in theatres is a brave move, all the best to the team!

The machine that prints 500 rupee notes? Wish I had one of those with the current prices of everything! 😅 On a serious note, the teaser was engaging. Hope the full film delivers on the promise.
