Going by the trailer, the plot revolves around the mysterious death of popular model Leila, and how the detective roped in to solve the case, solves the sensational murder. Vijay Antony plays the detective, who strongly believes that there is no such thing called a perfect murder. The role is right up Vijay Antony's sleeve.

My best critic at home @lalithagd after watching said - “An engaging & intelligent crime thriller with awesome BGM & stylish making.” Film is going out for censor today. Releasing on 21st July.

Music for the film is by Girishh Gopalakrishnan, cinematography by Sivakumar Vijayan and editing by Selva RK. Mahesh Mathew has choreographed the action sequences, while the dance choreography is jointly by Suresh, Milton Obadiah and Chiraag Ranka. The project is bankrolled by Infiniti Film Ventures and Lotus Pictures.
Vijay Antony has a slew of films lined up for release, including Agni Siragugal, Khaki, Ratham and Mazhai Pidikatha Manithan to name a few. His last releases were Tamilarasan and Pichaikkaran 2, both of which failed to set the cash registers ringing. Since Kolai's plot has already piqued the curiosity of the audience, it looks like all eyes are on this crime thriller.
