Sembi trailer: Kovai Sarala's makeover and pleasing visuals stand out in this Prabu Solomon-directorial

The news of popular reality show Cooku With Comali fame Ashwin Kumar joining hands with Prabu Solomon brought cheers to the fans of the former. The project was announced as Sembi a while ago. Billed as an emotional drama, the film stars Kovai Sarala and Thambi Ramaiah among others, too, essaying crucial characters in it.

The movie's trailer has now been unveiled by Selvaraghavan; the two-minute video offers a glimpse into the backdrop against which its story is set. Sembi's plot revolves around the lives of a few naïve inhabitants of a hill station. How their lives turn topsy-turvy after a host of unexpected incidents that take place in the hill station forms the crux of the story. The trailer has the movie's characters introduced from the point of view of a bus. 

M Jeevan's pleasing visuals stand out in the trailer; the beautiful hill station has been captured breathtakingly. This is complemented by Nivas K Prasanna's heartwarming background score. However, what leaves the viewers surprised is Kovai Sarala's notable makeover. 

Unlike many of her recent outings which had a tinge of comedy, she is seen portraying a character which is full of heart. The relationship between her character and her granddaughter is one of the prime aspects of the film's story.

Though Ashwin's role isn't revealed yet, sources say that his suspense-filled character comes at a crucial point in the story. Thambi Ramaiah, who is a regular in Prabu's movies, is handling a significant character this time, too. Buvan and Vijay Thennarasu have handled editing and art direction respectively for the movie.

Phoenix Prabhu has choreographed action sequences for Sembi which has dance choreography by Sri Krish. R Ravindran, Ajmal Khan and Reyaa have jointly bankrolled the project which is expected to release in theatres later this year.
