Writer teaser: Samuthirakani plays a powerless writer in the police force who takes up a sensational case

It was announced a few days ago that the teaser of Franklin Jacob's Writer will be released on December 6. Starring Samuthirakani in the titular role, the movie has been produced by Pa Ranjith's Neelam Productions and a few others. Dileeban, Ineya, Harikrishnan Anbudurai, Subramaniam Shiva and Bose Venkat among others play key roles in the movie.

The two-minute teaser has Samuthirakani in the role of a helpless writer in a police station. He plays Thangaraj, who has been transferred to Trichy. His character is moved by an unfortunate incident which happens in the station.

Though he decides to collect more details on the incident by his own, his senior officials discourage him and later warn him not to interfere in unnecessary things. A scene has Bose Venkat, who plays his senior officer, slapping him and threatening him not to poke his nose into things which do not fall under his duty. 

However, an unfazed Thangaraj takes up the case amid facing various challenges from different quarters. Dileeban, with whom Samuthirakani shared screen space in Rajinikanth's Kaala (streaming on Amazon Prime Video), is also seen in the teaser. In a notable sequence, Kani tells him 'Anyone who is not in power is a thug'.

Pratheep Kaliraja cranks the camera for the movie which has music by Govind Vasantha and editing by Manigandan Sivakumar. Satish Krishnan and Sudesh have handled dance choreography and action choreography for Writer respectively.

The film is all set for a theatrical release on December 24. Samuthirakani's last two outings, Chithirai Sevvaanam and Vinodhaya Sitham, had direct-to-OTT release on Zee5.
