Teaser highlights
About the teaser of 'Vijayam'
The teaser poster for Vijayam features Pauly in a sleek, rugged biker and racer-inspired look, suggesting a high-energy action entertainer. The humorous title announcement video, which resembles a short film, features Puthren waiting for someone to offer him a lift in a field. While he waits, he passes the time photographing ants and insects, a cheeky reference to his trademark close-up shots in Premam and other films.
Past collaborations
Legacy of Pauly-Puthren collaboration
Pauly and Puthren's collaboration dates back over a decade. Their first film together, Neram (2013), was a bilingual thriller that marked Puthren's directorial debut. The second film, Premam (2015), became a cultural phenomenon across South India, achieving cult status among the youth. Meanwhile, Puthren has been more active in front of the camera recently, with his latest acting role in the blockbuster Vaazha II: Biopic of a Billion Bros (2026).
