The excitement surrounding Antony Varghese's upcoming film 'Kattalan' continues to build as the production team has just unveiled a striking second-look poster. This visual gives audiences a deeper glimpse into the film's intense narrative and thematic elements.
A Powerful Visual Statement
The newly released poster presents a dramatic scene that immediately captures attention. Antony Varghese stands tall atop a fallen elephant, his figure drenched in relentless rain.
