‘Looper’ orbits around “loopers,” contemporary contract killers dispatched through time by future criminal syndicates to eliminate targets in the past. In contrast, ‘Gemini Man’ follows a retired Marine scout sniper pursued by a younger clone of himself while evading a private military company’s clutches.
Delving deeper into ‘G.O.A.T,’ the ensemble cast includes Mic Mohan, Prashanth, Prabhu Deva, Sneha, Laila, Jayaram, Meenakshii Chaudhary, and Yogi Babu. Venkat Prabhu’s trusted collaborators like Premgi, Vaibhav, Aravind Aakash, and Ajay Raj are also part of this anticipated project.
Renowned musician Yuvan Shankar Raja spearheads the film’s music, while Siddhartha Nuni and Venkat Raajen are managing cinematography and editing, respectively.
The film’s captivating narrative, coupled with the esteemed cast and crew, heightens the audience’s anticipation for ‘G.O.A.T,’ promising a cinematic spectacle bound to captivate viewers upon its theatrical release.
