movie, which will be distributed in two parts. Viduthalai: Part 1's official trailer has finally been published by Vetrimaaran and his team after a protracted wait, and it has significantly heightened anticipation for the
movie, which stars
vijay sethupathi and
soori as the lead characters.
With a 2.42 minute runtime, the Viduthalai Part 1 official video teases that
director Vetrimaaran will return to the
silver screen with yet another soul-stirring cinematic experience. The social drama appears to centre on a raging conflict between the system, particularly a battalion of cops and a group of rebels known as "Makkal Padai" (People's Army), who are established to stop crimes against
women and the underprivileged.
The authenticity with which the
police force is portrayed, the realistic photography, the stirring score by the great musician Ilaiyaraja, and the impressive ensemble cast all suggest that Viduthalai will be a really ground-breaking cinematic
event for the
tamil film industry. The main character, played by Soori, is a young
police officer named Kumaresan who works for the system and is on a mission to eliminate the "Makkal Padai" organisation and its commander, Perumal Vathiyar. As Perumal Vathiyar, national award-winning actor
vijay sethupathi will make a lengthy cameo appearance in the Viduthalai
movie series.
