About Cobra

Cobra is an action thriller flick featuring Vikram as a genius who is extremely good with numbers. He is someone who can find a solution mathematically to every problem. The actor plays the titular character of Cobra in the Tamil film and his real name is ‘Mathie’, a maths teacher. Cobra has two skills apart from his mathematical prowess. One, he is a master of disguise and two, he is an exceptional fighter. Madhi meets his nemesis in an Interpol officer Roshi, played by Roshan Mathew. What follows when Madhi and Rishi come face to face will be seen in Cobra.

 
Vikram is seen sporting at least seven different looks in this film including a Chinese old man and a rock band musician. The other important aspect of the film is that cricketer Irfan Pathan, who made his debut as an actor in Tamil cinema with this film, plays an investigating officer hot on the heels of the Cobra.
