The movie’s trailer was officially launched yesterday by Thirumaavalavan, leader of the Viduthalai Chiruthaigal Katchi, and has been receiving a great response from both fans and film enthusiasts.
The film’s plot is rooted in a modern-day Tamil Nadu village, where a beautiful friendship between a boy and a girl from different communities is threatened by caste prejudice.
