On Friday, Keerthy Suresh starrer Penguin is all set to stream on Amazon Prime Video. The Tamil film is a mystery thriller and has the actor playing the role of a pregnant woman in search of a ruthless monster. The face of the villain has not been revealed yet and in the trailer, we saw it as a masked man which will give instant chills to the people. Now, the director of Penguin, debutant Eshavar Karthic announced that the villain will not be revealed until the release of the film.
He stated, "I wanted to keep the element of mystery and thrill going throughout. For that purpose, none of the crew members also knew who the antagonist was, behind that mask. We were shooting with a small team and it was even more difficult to maintain that suspense with less number of people."
Eshavar also said, "Everyone would be making a guess but no one knew. I wanted everyone to unfold the surprise at the end which made it all real with the thriller. Everyone was jumping when we were shooting the climax scene because they were so keen."
Penguin is produced by Karthik Subbaraj under his banner Stone Bench Films and is also produced by Kaarthekeyen Santhanam, Sudhan Sundaram, and Jayaram under Passion Studios. The film has been shot simultaneously in Tamil and Telugu.
The film will also have a Malayalam-dubbed version and to be streamed on Amazon Prime Video on June 19, 2020.
This is the second Tamil film to be released on the popular streaming platform. Before that, Jyothika starrer PonMagal Vandhaal was released.
