Chennai, Aug 8 (IANS) Actress Disco Shanthi Srihari, a popular actress of the Tamil film industry in the eighties and nineties, has now made a comeback to Tamil cinema after a period of almost 28 years with director Innasi Pandiyan’s supernatural thriller film, ‘Bullet’, featuring actors Raghava Lawrence and his brother Elviin in the lead.
Shanthi who has not acted in films since 1997, appears to have played the role of a soothsayer in this film, the teaser of which was released on Friday by actor Vishal.
The teaser released on Friday starts off with a soothsayer (played by Disco Shanthi) saying, “Every tragedy that occurs in our life would have definitely occurred in the world sometime before.”
We then see the heroine say to the protagonist, “I have never been able to get anything that I wished for, right from the time I was a child. I don’t want to lose you too.”
Soon, we get to know that a series of mysterious developments have occurred, making the protagonist and his friends to flee the place. The teaser also gives the impression that the film will stress on the strength of friendship as a scene shows the protagonist refusing to leave the place without his friends and his friends in turn saying that they would be there with him.
The teaser adds to the excitement of viewers with a scene in which we hear a character say,”Sometimes, to learn the truth, we need a power beyond science.” There is also a voice over that says, “Time is more powerful than the universe.

The film is being simultaneously made in Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, Kannada and Hindi.
