Talking about the film, Dr. Ishari K. Ganesh, Chairman and Producer of Vels Film International, said "We have all witnessed the rise of influencers who became stars through social media. But very few talk about the emotional cost of that fame, the loneliness, the comparison, and the psychological strain behind the screens. UNKILL_123 is a story that captures both the glamour and the pain of this new-age fame culture.”The story follows the rise and fall of a common man turned social-media influencer whose dream of becoming famous slowly turns into an obsession. It shows how the pressure to stay popular can lead to stress, loneliness, and a loss of identity reflecting the darker side of today’s digital world. The film captures the growing influence of social media in everyday life and the unseen battles behind the filtered smiles where validation, envy, and insecurity collide.
Earlier, the production house described the project as “a terrifying digital nightmare.” The poster also carries the tagline, “Every click has a consequence,” and features the prominent text, “Like. Share. Die.”
