KollywoodThe film will hit the screens on September 20.Tnm StaffThe official trailer of Suriya-Mohanlal starrer Kaappaan was released on Wednesday. The film will hit the screens on September 20. When the trailer begins, we watch as Suriya’s character appears in different looks - an undercover agent, a wounded person, a farmer and probably a bureaucrat. Sayyeeshaa appears a few times in the trailer and is seen dancing in most of the shots. Mohanlal’s character as the Prime Minister predictably talks about the glory and sacrifice of being a soldier. Songs set to typical Harris Jayaraj style music have been shot in some exotic locations and Suriya doubles between twirling Sayyeeshaa and shooting bad people down. There’s also a peppy number where Suriya’s character dances in a scenic village. In the end, Mohanlal’s character says a paraphrased version of Nayakan’s ‘naalu peruku naladhu nadakanum na edhuvume thappila’ dialogue.
