Viduthalai Part 1 trailer is out

The highly promising official trailer of Viduthalai Part 1, which has a duration of 2.42 minutes, hints that director Vetrimaaran is set to make a comeback to the celluloid with yet another soul-stirring movie experience. The trailer hints that the social drama revolves around the fiery battle between the system, especially a battalion of policemen and a gang of rebels, named 'Makkal Padai' (People's Army) which is formed to prevent the atrocities against the women and oppressed. The rawness in the portrayal of the police force, realistic visuals, legendary musician Ilaiyaraja's powerful background score, and fantastic star cast hints that Viduthalai is going to be a truly pathbreaking cinematic experience for the Tamil film industry.

Soori is appearing as the protagonist, a young police constable named Kumaresan who is a part of the system, that is on a mission to wipe out 'Makkal Padai' and its leader, Perumal Vathiyar. National award-winning actor Vijay Sethupathi is making an extended cameo appearance in the Viduthalai film franchise by playing the role of Perumal Vathiyar.
