What's in the trailer?

The trailer starts with multiple crimes and scams taking place across the country, and a woman's voiceover spelling out the issues Indians are battling currently, such as lack of jobs, heavy tax burdens, and lack of basic facilities among others. Siddharth's character then steps in and asks what those who complain are doing to solve these issues. He then recalls his childhood hero – Senapathy (Kamal Haasan), a powerful vigilante, who seems to have receded to the mountains.

However, soon, he strikes back, going after the rich businessmen and others who are taking the country to the dogs. He fights the bad guys, including in a shirtless action scene. He also outsmarts them by donning multiple disguises. When Siddharth's character counters him and tells Senapathy that he's going against his own ideals of honesty, Senapathy tells him that they must fight to save the country. He suggests Siddharth's character that he can take the Gandhian way, but Senapathy will follow in the more violent footsteps of Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose.
