We had earlier reported that Sathyaraj has been roped in to play a cop’s role in Hari’s Poojai, which stars Vishal and Shruti Haasan in the lead. We have now learnt that his role is the suspense element in the film, and his character provides an important twist in the story.

A source in the know says, “Sathyaraj will be playing the role of a police officer in the film. However, what’s been kept a secret is the traits of his onscreen character — whether he’s a good cop or a bad cop. He sports a bald look in the film, like the one in Nooravathu Naal. He is one of the suspense elements in the film.”

Poojai is a ‘triangular action film’, the story of which will begin in Coimbatore and end in Patna. While Mukesh Tiwari is playing one of the villains, Hari is looking to cast a prominent Bhojpuri actor for a key role. Yuvan Shankar Raja is composing the music for the film, which is presently being shot in and around Karaikudi.
