"Gowri Hegde, Deputy Commissioner, Income Tax": Tabu Unleashes Raw Power in Slum Dog Character Glimpse!
The promotional campaign for the highly anticipated pan-India action drama Slum Dog: 33 Temple Road has reached a high point with the release of a striking character glimpse. Directed by swagger-specialist Puri Jagannadh and starring Vijay Sethupathi in the lead, the film introduces powerhouse actress Tabu in a fiercely commanding avatar as Gowri Hegde.
Produced on a grand scale by Puri Jagannadh and Charmme Kaur under Puri Connects, in association with JB Narayan Rao Kondrolla's JB Motion Pictures, the film brings together raw emotion, urban grit, and high-stakes conflict.
A Cigarette, A Slap, and Pure Authority
The newly dropped character glimpse wastes no time establishing the dark, unyielding world of the film's slum setting before introducing Tabu in vintage Puri Jagannadh fashion:
-
Uncompromising Entrance: Arriving in a car, lighting a cigarette, and taking instant command, Gowri Hegde establishes her dominance early by confronting local goons, delivering a stern warning, and slapping a gangster on the street.
-
Ruthless Physicality: Unfazed by hostile crowds or local muscle, Gowri Hegde is seen wielding a wooden baton and physically subduing troublemakers on the city streets.
-
The Big Reveal: Tagged in the video as "One Fearless Woman," "Ruthless," "Merciless," and "Devil In The Department," the glimpse peaks with her introducing herself with swagger: "Gowri Hegde, Deputy Commissioner, Income Tax."
Brief flashes of lead star Vijay Sethupathi are also peppered throughout the glimpse, hinting at an intense clash between the primary characters.
Stellar Ensemble & Gritty Technical Backing
Beyond the headline duo of Vijay Sethupathi and Tabu, Slum Dog features an established supporting lineup:
-
Cast: Samyuktha plays the female lead, while Kannada star Duniya Vijay steps into a heavy negative role. Brahmaji and VTV Ganesh feature in prominent supporting slots.
-
Technical Crew: Visuals are captured by DOP Sam K. Naidu, with music composed by Harshavardhan Rameshwar (Animal) and editing handled by Santosh Noozilla.
Currently wrapping up key production schedules, Slum Dog: 33 Temple Road is gearing up for a multi-language pan-India release across Telugu, Tamil, Kannada, Malayalam, and Hindi.
