Ashwin Kakumanu's latest Tamil movie "Zero" hit the screens worldwide Friday, March 25. The movie is written and directed by Shiv Mohaa (Arun Kumar), and stars Sshivada, JD Chakravarthy, and Ravi Raghavendra. "Zero" presents Nivas K Prasanna's music, Babu Kumar's cinematography and Sudharshan's editing.
The movie had drawn the attention of the audience with its trailer. Also, the songs "Uyire Un Uyirena," "Veredhuvum Nijamae Illai" and "Engae Ponaai" gained appreciation soon after the music release. These factors had built a lot of curiosity around the supernatural-romantic thriller.
The plot of the film revolves around a couple, social worker Bala (Ashwin) and Priya (Sshivada), who shift in an apartment bought by his father. Their excitement turns into shock when they start experiencing weird phenomena in the house.
Priya has inherited some mental illness from her mother and her struggle between dreams and reality forms the crux of the story.
"Zero" tries to explain how this world started and how that's connected to the present-day events. The story is said to be inspired by a legend set in ancient times.
