After a six-year break from directing, following his 2020 release Psycho, Mysskin returns with his new project Train, starring Vijay Sethupathi. The makers of the film unveiled its highly anticipated teaser in July this year. The teaser, 43 seconds long, was quick, intense, vengeful and barely gave the audience time to process one moment before jumping to the next.
Starring Sethupathi, Nasser and Shruti Haasan in lead roles, the teaser, rich with bright and dark visuals that play with the audience's senses, added to the film's overall feel and sense of thrill. Interestingly, it ran entirely on background noise, with no dialogue at all.
Train is an exciting title for Tamil cinema fans, not only because it is Mysskin's first directorial after a stretch spent focusing solely on acting, but also because Train will be his very first collaboration with Sethupathi. The film produced by Kalaippuli S. Thanu under the banner of V Creations, is written by Mysskin, edited by Sri Watson and features cinematography by Fowzia Fathima.
