The film is titled Vithaikkaran with popular actor Sathish playing the lead. The exciting project is to be produced by White Carpet Films who produced Arulnithi starrer Dejavu.

The video then shows Sathish animated as the king piece on the opposite side of the chess board. It then zooms out, to show Sathish in a suit looking intensely at the chess board.
