The trailer for Viduthalai Part 1 is now out
The highly anticipated official trailer of Viduthalai Part 1, which has a duration of 2.42 minutes, suggests that director Vetrimaaran is preparing to make a comeback to the celluloid with yet another soul-stirring film experience. According to the trailer, the social drama tends to revolve around a fiery fight between the system, particularly a battalion of policemen, and a gang of rebels recognised as 'Makkal Padai' (People's Army), who are formed to prevent atrocities against women and the victimised. The raw portrayal of the police force, realistic visuals, iconic musician Ilaiyaraja's strong background score, and fantastic star cast all suggest that Viduthalai will be a truly revolutionary cinematic experience for the Tamil film industry.
Soori is seen as the protagonist, a very young police constable named Kumaresan who is a part of the system, that is on a mission to eliminate 'Makkal Padai' and its leader, Perumal Vathiyar. National award-winning actor Vijay Sethupathi is making an extended special appearance in the Viduthalai movie franchise by playing the character of Perumal Vathiyar. The police chief is played by actor and filmmaker Gautham Vasudev Menon.
