CHENNAI: Actor Arjun Das, known for his intense roles, is taking a sharp turn into quirky, chaotic comedy with his next Tamil film, Con City. The title teaser, released on Friday, March 6, introduces a premise so delightfully absurd it’s impossible to ignore: a family discovers their receipt printer has started producing real Rs 500 notes.
Directed by debutant Harish Durairaj, the film promises a blend of humour, suspense, and family drama centered on a life-changing—and deeply bizarre—stroke of luck.
What’s the Story?
The teaser introduces us to a struggling family whose fortunes change overnight after a mysterious incident. A lightning strike appears to cause a glitch in their receipt printer. But instead of bills, the machine begins to churn out crisp Rs 500 notes.
Arjun Das plays a key member of this family, who, along with his relatives, slowly realizes the printer’s strange ability. Their financial troubles seem to vanish, bringing joy and relief. However, the teaser hints at the complications that arise when others begin to notice their sudden, inexplicable wealth.
A Family Affair
