In Kara, Dhanush plays a bank robber who takes to stealing money big-time in the wake of a global crisis. Helmed by Vignesh Raja, Kara is an intense action-survival drama set against the historical backdrop of the 1991 Gulf War.
The story is primarily set in the Ramanathapuram district of Tamil Nadu during a period of global unrest. Following the Iraq-American war, a severe fuel and oil crisis hits the world, leading to rampant inflation, corruption, and social chaos.
The Telugu version of the movie will be released in theatres by CH Sathish Kumar and Rajesh Kumar Bobbara of Vigneswara Entertainments and R Star Logistics.
Dhanush, who has endeared himself with movies such as Raghuvaran B.Tech and Sir, is joined by Mamitha Baiju of Premalu and Dragon fame. Dinesh Kasi's action choreography looks authentic in the trailer.
KS Ravi Kumar, Karunas, Jayaram, Prithvi Pandiarajan, Suraj Venjaramoodu, MS Baskar, and Sreeja Ravi are playing different roles.
Written by Alfred Prakash and the movie's director, Kara has music composed by GV Prakash Kumar. Theni Eswar is the cinematographer. Sreejith Sarang is the editor. Mayapandi is the art director.
Originally bankrolled by Dr. Ishari K. Ganesh, Kara also features the chartbuster Kannamma Naa Kannamma (4.1 million views and counting).
Dhanush's Kara will head to theatres on April 30.
