'Khakee' (titled 'Theeran Adhigaram Ondru' in Tamil) will release on Nov 17. Starring Karthi and Rakul Preet Singh in lead roles, the film's Telugu version is produced by Umesh Gupta, the MD of Aditya Music. This is Umesh's maiden venture in Telugu as a producer.

The film is based on a series of true, macabre incidents that came to light between 1995 and 2005. From what can be made out from the trailer, Karthi sets out to investigate a mysterious event that happened on a fateful night in West Godavari's Ravulapalem. Karthi's angst-ridden dialogues related to how the system prevents honest officers from discharging their duties with due diligence is striking. Chase sequences shot on vehicles and horses aside, the trailer throws up so much action.

Directed by H Vinoth, the action thriller also stars Abhimanyu Singh. Ghibran is the music director. Captioned as 'The Power Of Police', it has the cinematography by Sathyan Sooryan.
