The makers of Sarathkumar's 150th film, The Smile Man, dropped a teaser for it the other day. The film stars Sarathkumar as a police officer with Alzheimer's who is tasked with finding a copycat killer. The assassin leaves his victims in various places, such as under a bridge, in a field, and on top of a tree, with their mouths mutilated and stitched in a way that resembles a smile. Syam and Praveen directed the film from a Kamala Alchemis screenplay.
The makers released a poster earlier this year that hint at a dual role for Sarathkumar. In an earlier conversation, Syam said, "The Smile Man is a crime thriller starring Sarath sir in the role of a retired police officer with early signs of Alzheimer's. With a serial killer on the run, the character has to crack the case before he loses his memory."
