The makers of Pulavar, starring the late Bharathiraja in the lead role, have unveiled the film’s trailer, confirming that the crime thriller will release in theatres on October 30. The announcement came on Thursday, October 23, offering a glimpse into a murder investigation led by the veteran filmmaker and actor in what is reported to be his final acting appearance on the big screen.
Pulavar was initially scheduled to release on September 25. However, the film’s theatrical debut was pushed back amid a crowded release calendar featuring several prominent titles, including Karthik Subbaraj’s Dorothy, Ram’s Yezhu Kadal Yezhu Malai, Vijay Sethupathi’s Baththa and Rajinikanth’s Jailer 2. With its new release date now confirmed, the film is set to make its way to cinemas next week.
Written and directed by Murukaiya, Pulavar centres on a murder investigation, with Bharathiraja portraying a police officer who interrogates a group of suspects following the killing of a woman. The trailer establishes a tense atmosphere, with the investigation gradually taking a more disturbing turn as the officers attempt to extract information from those in custody.
Pulavar trailer hints at a murder mystery
The trailer opens up a case in which the police are trying to establish who killed a woman, with the investigation focusing on four suspects. During an interrogation, Bharathiraja’s character asks them, “Who killed that lady with an impact blow on her head?” The question sets the tone for a narrative driven by suspicion, conflicting accounts and the search for the person responsible.
As the questioning continues, the officer presses the suspects for further details, asking, “Upon whose order was it done?” The exchanges suggest that the murder could involve a larger conspiracy, with the investigation extending beyond identifying the person who carried out the crime.
The suspects maintain their innocence, but the police officers remain unconvinced. The trailer also features scenes of the men being subjected to physical violence while in custody, hinting at an investigation in which the methods employed by the authorities could become as significant as the crime itself.
The footage concludes on a threatening note, with Bharathiraja’s character sporting a sinister smile as he warns the suspects, “If you don’t say, I will shoot you to death.” The closing moment underscores the film’s emphasis on interrogation and coercion, leaving the circumstances surrounding the murder open for audiences to discover in theatres.
Raichal Rabecca, Hello Kandasamy, Ravichandran, Vetrivel Raja, Poobalam Sandhil, Chaplin Sundar and Jintha also feature in the cast. While the trailer introduces the central conflict, further details about the characters and their connections to the murder remain under wraps.
Bharathiraja’s final acting appearance
Pulavar brings Bharathiraja back to the role of a police officer after Suseenthiran’s 2022 film Kuttram Kuttrame. Known primarily for his contributions as a filmmaker, Bharathiraja also built a substantial acting career, appearing in films across Tamil cinema and other industries. His presence in Pulavar gives the upcoming release added significance, as reports have described it as his final acting appearance on the big screen.
On the technical front, Ajmal Khan has composed the music for the film. According to the makers, the soundtrack features Ajmal’s “gritty, rustic musical score”, alongside “the electrifying track “Oru Urundai” rendered by Santhosh Narayanan.” The musical elements are expected to complement the film’s crime-driven narrative.
RV Saran has handled cinematography, while Dhanasekar is the editor. A Arunkumar serves as the art director, with Poobalam Senthil penning the dialogues.
Produced by Sameer Bharat Ram and Kasi Viswanathan under the banners of Super Talkies and White Nights Entertainment, Pulavar is now gearing up for its theatrical release on October 30. The trailer positions the film as a murder mystery built around a police investigation, with Bharathiraja at the centre of the unfolding case.
