Pawan Kalyan looked every bit a police officer at the audio release function of "Jalsa". So, we were naturally intrigued if it is his look for "Puli". Tinsel ville grapevine confirms that he is playing a top-shot cop in the film.
Hence the short cropped hair and the toughie look. As is already known, SJ Surya is directing the film and Singanamala Ramesh is producing it.
