The movie Ghajini had inspiration from the Hollywood film, Memento. Now, the movie Puli which has Ilaya Thalapathy Vijay in the lead and for which S.J.Suryah is wielding the megaphone is said to have traces of the movie Punisher which had Tom Jane in the original.

The movie Punisher was an action based thriller with lots of fighting, gunplay and explosions. The hero of the movie was an FBI Special agent who overcame the villains with his intelligence and iron determination. Vijay also plays a cop for the first time. So, Puli will have many changes to suit the expectations of Vijay fans.
