Nivin Pauly plays antagonist Walter in Raghava Lawrence's upcoming action thriller 'Benz'

Maverick actor Nivin Pauly transforms into ruthless antagonist Walter in Raghava Lawrence's explosive action film 'Benz'

"Soft boy? That was yesterday. Nivin Pauly 2.0—our certified Baddie - Bakkiyaraj Kannan"

Chennai, June 4

The makers of director Bakkiyaraj Kannan's eagerly awaited action thriller 'Benz', featuring actor Raghava Lawrence in the lead, on Wednesday announced that actor Nivin Pauly would play the antagonist's character of Walter in the film.

Director Bakkiyaraj Kannan, who took to his X timeline to share the link to a character promo that the makers released on Wednesday, wrote, "Soft boy? That was yesterday. Nivin Pauly 2.0—our certified Baddie, Breaking hearts and Breaking rules & Breaking bad. Meet #Walter, @nivinofficial."

The character promo which the makers released begins with sounds emanating from a room as if somebody is getting bludgeoned there. Soon, Nivin Pauly, with his body decked in gold ornaments and carrying a huge metal hammer from which bloods seems to be dripping, walks out. He sports a smile only to reveal golden teeth.

He turns around to ask another character (also played by Nivin Pauly) the name of a person. The other character, which is busy eating and which comes across as a naive, uneducated individual, tells the villain it is 'Bens' and then after a while, corrects the spelling to say, 'Benz'. We then get to know that the antagonist's name is Walter. Walter then says, "When a head inside a helmet itself is cut like the head of a goat, who..." and laughs suggestively. The character promo ends with Walter describing himself. He says," A dirty mind, a beautiful heart deadly combination. Love you Walter!"

The film has triggered huge interest as ace director Lokesh Kanakaraj is producing this film along with Sudhan Sundaram, and Jagadish Palanisamy.

From the character promo, one gets the impression that Nivin Pauly plays two characters in the film.

Written and directed by Bakkiyaraj Kannan, the film has music by young music sensation Sai Abhyankkar‬. Cinematography for the film is by Goutham George and editing is by Philomin Raj. Art direction for the film has been done by Jacki while Pradeep Boopathi is serving as the creative producer.

Wow! Nivin Pauly as a villain? That's something new! 😲 After seeing him in those cute romantic roles, this transformation looks intense. The gold teeth and hammer - what a look! Can't wait to see how he pulls this off. Raghava Lawrence vs Nivin will be fire!

The character promo gives me serious Vikram vibes! Lokesh Kanagaraj producing this means we can expect some solid action sequences. But I hope the story doesn't get overshadowed by style. Nivin's dual role concept seems interesting though.

As much as I love Nivin, the violent imagery in the promo makes me uncomfortable. The hammer with blood and all...hope the film doesn't glorify violence too much. Our films should be more responsible about these things.

Finally some good content from the South industry! Bollywood should take notes. Nivin's transformation is mind-blowing - from chocolate boy to this menacing Walter. The gold aesthetic reminds me of KGF but with a unique Tamil flavor. Excited for this one!

The BGM in the promo is 🔥! Sai Abhyankkar is becoming the next big thing in film music. Also, Nivin's dialogue delivery as Walter is so different from his usual style - shows his versatility as an actor. Hope the movie lives up to the hype!

Not sure about this one...Nivin is a great actor but this seems like trying too hard to be 'dark' and 'edgy'. The goat head reference was unnecessary. Hope the actual film has more substance than just shock value.
