MS Bhaskar will be seen in a completely different avatar in Akkaran where he unleashes his inner demon to bring justice to his daughter.

Directed by debutant Arun K Prasad, the film is expected to be a crime thriller filled with a lot of suspense.

The two-minute-long trailer, which was released by the makers on Friday, starts with a few people of power being interrogated by an unknown person. We then see the backstory of how a woman goes missing and MS Bhaskar's relentless pursuit to search for her and get her justice. He fights with villains, tortures them and even goes to the extent of cutting their fingers to bring out the truth.

In an earlier conversation with CE, Arun said, "MS Bhakar's character in the film is a simple farmer, but when a serious issue knocks on his doors, causing distress to his daughters, he would go to great lengths to confront anyone, including a powerful politician."

Arun also revealed that the film has no comedy scenes and would be a unique entry in MS Bhaskar's career.

Apart from MS Bhaskar and Kabali Vishwanath, the film also stars Namo Narayana, Venba, Akash Premkumar, Karthick Chandrasekar and Priyadharshini Arunachalam.

On the technical front, the film has music by Hari SR, cinematography by MA Anand and editing by P Manikandan.

Akkaran is set to hit theatres on May 3.
