On November 25, 2022, the Tamil film “Agent Kannayiram” was released in theatres. It is an official Tamil version of the popular Telugu film “Agent Sai Srinivasa Athreya,” which is a dark humor and suspense mystery. The popular Telugu hit adaptation, “Agent Kannayiram,” starring Santhanam, was a financial failure because of the weak writing and lack of excitement in the movie.
Santhanam plays the major role, and important supporting roles are filled by Riya Suman, Pugazh, Munishkanth, Redin Kingsley, Indhumathy, Madhan Dhakshinamoorthy, E Ramdas, and Aadhira. Manoj Beedha is the director, with Theni Eashwar and Saravanan Ramasamy handling the photography, Yuvan Shankar Raja providing the music, and Labyrinth Films serves as the production company.
After the success at the theaters, the film is back to entertain on OTT, However, the film is all set to hit the OTT space on December 23, 2022, on SunNXT.
The main character of the movie is a private investigator who runs his own firm, works with an assistant, and investigates minor crimes. However, when a father asks police to look into his daughter’s murder, things take a serious turn.
The lead actors of the 2019 original movie Agent Sai Srinivasa Athreya were Naveen Polishetty and Shruti Sharma. Santhanam and Riya Suman play the same roles in “Agent Kannayiram.” The movie is made by Labyrinth Films and directed by Manoj Beedha. Yuvan Shankar Raja is the composer of the movie’s music.
To appeal to the nativity factor for Tamil audiences, the producers of Agent Kannayiram made a number of alterations to the original version. However, the endeavor backfired because of the screenplay’s length and its lack of compelling scenes. It centers on an ambitious investigator who attempts to solve the mystery surrounding a few local residents’ mysterious deaths.
