A Legend Built Through Rumour
The trailer begins with the perception society has of Baththa, played by Vijay Sethupathi. Children listen to outrageous rumours of Baththa's courage with bated breath. One kid is heard telling another that Baththa once broke the ribs of someone who challenged him and walked away with the man tucked under his arm. Another talks of how he broke open the gates of a prison to escape. A third tells that he has a lion for a pet, painting an almost mythical picture of the central character before the trailer reveals a very different side to him.
