Kolaigaran (transl. Killer) is a 2019 Indian Tamil-language action thriller film[2][3] directed by Andrew Louis.[4] The film stars Vijay Antony, Arjun and Ashima Narwal, while Nassar and Seetha play supporting roles. The music was scored by Simon K. King.[5] Principal photography of the film commenced on 5 June 2018.[6][7] The film follows an investigation in which a woman and her mother are suspected of murder after a disfigured corpse is found, while their neighbour claims to have committed it instead, much to the surprise of cops. The film was released theatrically on 7 June 2019. It opened to positive reviews and became a super hit at the box office.[8]
The movie is heavily inspired by the 2012 South Korean thriller Perfect Number, which was based on the Japanese mystery novel The Devotion of Suspect X that had been adapted in 2008 in Japanese as Suspect X[9][10][11][12][13][14][15] and in 2023 as Jaane Jaan.[16]
