Bakasuran sneak peek: Selvaraghavan plays an unabashedly lecherous man in this intriguing promo video

Movie buffs were surprised when director Mohan G roped in director-actor Selvaraghavan to play the lead in Bakasuran. A few films of the former had courted controversy in the past and cinephiles have been eager to know what he has in store for them with his latest outing.

The movie, which has been produced by Mohan himself, is releasing on February 17 and is locking horns with Dhanush's bilingual flick Vaathi. The makers have now come up with a sneak peek video in which they have let out a crucial scene of the film.

The two-and-a-half promo video has Selva approaching a sex worker to fulfil his carnal needs. However, the woman expresses shock and disappointment over his unrealistic needs to her boss. The latter, a lady who is known for Selva's wayward behaviour, agrees to sleep with him instead, despite lack of interest. 

Selva, who is clad in a colourful shirt and a lungi, comes out after the sexual encounter, sporting a glass and walks away in slow motion. Film lovers who are intrigued with the video are curious to know about the context of the sequence and are waiting to watch it on the big screen.

Natraj Subramaniyan, Radha Ravi, Rajan K, Rams and Saravanan Subbiah will be seen essaying crucial characters in the project which revolves around the relationship between a father and a daughter. Sam CS has composed music for Bakasuran which has Farook J Basha handling cinematography.   

Devaraj S and S Kamalanathan have handled editing and art direction respectively for the movie which has action choreography helmed by Mirattal Selva and dance sequence helmed by Johny.
