Earlier this year, the film crew had to cancel their halfway filming schedule in Russia due to the COVID-19-induced lockdown and travel restrictions. “Packing of the shoot in Russia halfway due to the travel ban rules imposed by the Indian government,” Ajay Gnanamuthu had tweeted.

In Cobra, It is said that Vikram appears in several avatars, a preview of which was shared in the movie’s first look poster in February. All of the characters played by Vikram – from politician to professor, will have a common bond.

The sci-fi thriller Cobra was originally scheduled to appear on screens in May 2020, which was inevitably delayed due to the coronavirus pandemic. Music for Cobra was composed by Oscar-winning music maestro A R Rahman.
