Actor Hridhu Haroon, best known for starring in the critically acclaimed All We Imagine As Lightand the Malayalam film Mura, is making his Tamil debut with a film titled Texas Tiger. The film is directed by Selvah Kumar Thirukumaran, who helmed the 2024 film Family Padam.
The makers unveiled a first-look teaser of Texas Tiger on Haroon’s birthday on Sunday (June 29) to announce the news. The teaser introduces the actor as the titular character, a controversial rapper whose work seems to have divided the audience. While a protest erupts against the singer for his ‘vulgar’ lyrics, we also see some hardcore fans, called ‘Tigerians,’ defending him.
“Look, he must have gotten scared after seeing these protests,” chides a policeman, after which Texas Tiger makes a superb entrance from an auto rickshaw, akin to superstar Vijay’s entry in 2021’s Master. The rapper makes his way through the crowd in style and climbs atop a police van. When a protester throws a garland of slippers at him, he wears it around his neck, surprising both the angry protesters and his fans.
Other details regarding the rest of the cast remain unknown at the moment. With music scored by Osho Venkat, the film has cinematography by Meiyyendiran and editing by Sudharshan. Balaji Kumar, Parthi Kumar, Sujith and director Selvah produce the film under their UK Squad banner.
