Just a week ahead of its release, the trailer of Yogi Babu's Boat was released by the makers. The film, set in 1943 amidst world war II, is directed by Chimbudevan and is all set for release on August 2.

In the nearly two-minute-long teaser, we can see British officials discussing about catching hold of a killer amid war-torn Madras Presidency. It is during the same time that ten strangers get onto a boat and take shelter in the Bay of Bengal. Yogi Babu plays the boatman. When a crisis arises in the middle of the sea, Yogi Babu must make some serious decisions to safeguard the lives of people on the boat. And amidst them lies a silent killer who might topple the lives of everyone beside them.

Apart from Yogi Babu, the film also stars Gouri G Kishan, Madumkesh Prem, MS Bhaskar, Chinni Jayanth, Jesse Fox-Allen, Chaams, Madhumitha, Sha Ra, Kollapuli Leela and Aakshath Das.

Maali and Maanvi Movie Makers and Chimbudeven Entertainment are backing the upcoming film, which will be distributed by Shakthi Film Factory.

With cinematography by Madhesh Manickam, Boat features music by Ghibran, editing by Mani Maran and production design by T Santhanam.

Upon release on August 2, the film will clash with Vijay Antony's Mazhai Pidikkatha Manithan, Nakkhul's Vasco Da Gama, Pari Elavazhagan's Jama, actor Ananth's directorial debut film Nanban Oruvan Vandha Piragu, and Gayathrie Shankar and Bala Saravanan's Pechi at the box office.
