MUMBAI: UTV Motion Pictures has launched its first super hero project in Tamil titled Mugamoodi.

The film, being written and directed by acclaimed director Mysskin, is based on the theme of the superhero that lies dormant in every one of us. Destiny pushes a love struck young man into a dangerous world of adventure. How he fights the evil incarnate and becomes the saviour of society is what the film is all about.

The pre-production on the project, including scouting for the appropriate technical team to work on the film and exotic locales overseas to film the songs, is already in progress. Consultants from IIT will be designing hi-end gadgets to be used in the movie and the superhero costumes will be created by select teams from NIFT.
 

This will be the first ever Tamil movie to be made focusing on extensive martial arts, and promises to be an action packed entertainer.

Both actors Jiiva and Narain will undergo special martial arts training with experts flown in from the Shaolin Temple of Martial Arts in China.

The film, expected to commence shooting in September, has been scheduled for a 2012 summer release.
