A still from 'Japan'

CHENNAI: Actor Karthi’s Japan had garnered much interest after its teaser was released.

Donning the avatar of a highly clever, intelligent, thrill-seeking thief, Karthi looks full of swag.

A heist-action-thriller-comedy film, Japan sees the Ponniyin Selvan star as the titular character. Karthi is a criminal who goes by that pseudonym, with a very sharp mind managing to rob over Rs 200 crore.

The Tamil Nadu police reveal that Japan has committed over 182 such heists before. Attempting to catch him, Karthi is revealed to be a gun-swinging maniac who leads a hedonistic lifestyle, filled with golden chains, silver necklaces, and diamond rings.

His life revolves around guns, money, booze, and women, he too lives for the thrill of the chase above all things. However, Japan is also incredibly murderous, gutting those who stand in his way.

At the very end in a quirky twist, Karthi while sitting on a bunch of money says, “Japan cannot be captured by police or harmed by any explosive”, before a bomb explodes in a building.

Written and directed by Raju Murugan, Japan stars Anu Emmanuel, Jithan Ramesh, and Sunil, among others. The film will hit theatres in November this year.
