The period gangster drama, released on 10th November 2023, unfolds the tale of Pandiyan, an ambitious gangster in Madurai with dreams of becoming the first dark-skinned actor in Tamil cinema.
The storyline takes an interesting turn as Pandiyan hires Ray Dasan, played by SJ Suryah, a former assistant director to Satyajit Ray, to direct a Clint Eastwood-style western film in Tamil Nadu titled "Pandyaa."
To realize this unconventional dream, he enlists the help of Ray Dasan, a former assistant director to Satyajit Ray, eager to make his directorial debut.
The plot, set in 1975, revolves around the first black-skinned hero of Tamil cinema, a concept rooted in Rajinikanth's journey, especially considering his debut film 'Apoorva Raagangal' released in the same year.
