The shooting of Cobra, starring ‘Chiyaan’ Vikram in the lead role, came to an end on Tuesday. The completion was marked by celebration by the film’s cast and crew, including Vikram and director Ajay Gnanamuthu.
Ajay also took to Twitter to express his gratitude to everyone who stood by him as the film faced multiple delays owing to the pandemic. “IT’S A WRAP!! Close to 3 years of filming comes to an end!! My sincere thanks to #ChiyaanVikram sir and my entire team who trusted me, sailed through all the struggles and difficult times with me and believed in the vision of #Cobra !! Forever indebted to each one of u! (sic),” he tweeted while sharing photos from the sets of Cobra.
The teaser that was released earlier suggested that Vikram plays a mathematical genius and he is wanted by the international intelligence agencies for committing crimes using mathematical formulas. It has been hinted that Vikram will sport over 20 looks in Cobra.
