The teaser of Raju Murugan’s upcoming film Japan has just been unveiled. The film is eyeing a Diwali release. Karthi, who was recently seen in Mani Ratnam’s magnum opus, Ponniyin Selvan 2, will be seen in the lead role in the movie. The actor just celebrated his 46th birthday on May 25 and the makers of Japan unveiled the trailer on this day as a treat for Karthi fans. On the eve of Karthi’s birthday, the film’s producers also revealed the release date and released a unique video introducing his character.
The glimpse reveals several aspects of Karthi’s character. One individual refers to him as a hero, another labels him a comedy piece, while yet another calls him a villain.
The glance guarantees a thrill ride, though. In the film, Karthi dons a new appearance and plays a character called Japan. His character switches mode from serious to funny in the teaser, making it difficult to determine the tone of the movie. Karthi is seen in a new flamboyant avatar, with curly hair, funky glasses, and a tracksuit, and has two machine guns in his hands. Watch the teaser here.
