Original subtitles

Get up.

'The man in the long car…'

'He's Sivalinga Mandradiyar.'

'He's an ardent fan of MGR.'

'A 'zamin' with thousand acres of land.'

'The townsfolk say he got all this wealth'

'only after he bought that Lakshmi statue and the golden sceptre.'

'This traditional family has an important rule.'

'In his family, they've always had just one child each generation.'

'See the way he walks.'

Why's that, auntie?

If there are two kids, we'd have to split the property in half.

Then we'll become the "500-acre zamin" family.

I stopped when your husband was born.

You, too, should stop with one.

He's not very responsible, dear.

- You have to make him responsible. - Okay, auntie.

Here he is! Look at my handsome prince!

It's like seeing a fierce tiger cub.

He even got his father's majestic walk!

'Grandson of the Zamin! Just one look from you is enough.'

'Someone spread a rumour that if he looks at you, you'll get rich.'

'So people have been chasing him in Kailash lorries.'

'Why that expression?'

'You're probably wondering'

'why these masked killers are after pure souls like us.'

'Let's see why.'

Hello, sir.

Hello, sir.

My buddies! What are you guys doing here?

- Hey, come here. - Hurry up!

Keep going.

- You get money if you fall at his feet. - Really?

Who's this guy?

Forget this. My sister was sad that you didn't go home last night.

I watched a movie last night. It was amazing.

I watched it again and I got tired.

I couldn't get a bus, so I just slept there.

Whose movie?

A new guy. Name's Gulkand Kumar.

He did a great job.

- He's the next MGR. - That good, huh?

- Hello, sir. - Keep moving.

'Easy money. I'll fall again.'

Give me.

- Let me go again. - Stop.

I have to give them their share too.

So…

What's with this Gulkand Kumar being the next MGR?

He spoke a fantastic dialogue.

The sky's over my head.

The Earth's under my feet.

A jungle before my eyes.

But you… you're all inside my heart!

He'll be the next MGR. Wait and watch.

The next MGR?

Hey…

Sir?

- What is he blabbering? - It's true, sir.

I watched the movie thrice.

They're even showing it on TV today.

Sir…

Sir?

Sir?

Up next, in the number one spot, is a song

from Gulkand Kumar's blockbuster movie,

"Ulagam Oru Roobai."

"I'm a lover boy"

"I fall for every girl I see"

"No one's ever accepted me"

"Still, I never lost hope"

"I've never sung a romantic duet"

"Never found a place in a woman's heart"

"Whatever I dreamed never came true"

"I'm a loser in love, but a king in my life"

"Gulkand Kumar!"

"Gulkand Kumar!"

"Gulkand Kumar!"

"Gulkand Kumar!"

He's too good!

Veena… Meena… Seena… Reena…

"For us to walk hand in hand, To tattoo her name on my heart"

"Of all the women I saw, None ever looked back at me"

"To steal a kiss from her, To hear her say she loves me"

"My love never came true"

"I try so hard, Writing love letters with my eyes"

"Like Poe, I lament through my songs"

"I pour out my love, But those beauties cry and run"

"But the day they beg for my love Is not too far away"

"Gulkand Kumar"

"Gulkand Kumar"

"Gulkand Kumar"

"Gulkand Kumar"

Looks like this song will be on top next week too.

- Singa! - Sir?

He's going to be the next MGR.

Yes, sir.

You've resurrected, my hero!

'POLLACHI JUNCTION'

I've driven for Ravichandran, Sivakumar, and even Sivaji Ganesan.

But I never had to wait for any of them. But I have to wait for him?

Brother, please move the suitcase.

This is Pollachi, right?

'What, does this look like Poland to him?'

Brother! Stop!

- Our hero's here. - Who is that?

Look at his pose after coming so late.

This moron made me wait.

- Come - Don't you have anyone?

- Why do you need them? - To load my stuff, of course.

It's not like you're Kamal Haasan or Rajinikanth.

Load them yourself, sir.

Take them and come with me.

'[in Hindi] This moron's driving me mad!'

I'll take him. You bring the heroine safely.

Okay, brother.

Sir, what are you doing?

It's our car, right?

You just started and already want a car?

Then who is this for?

This is for the heroine.

Your ride is over there.

'He weighs a ton!'

- Modern Lodge, Pollachi. - Sir!

What are you looking at?

Come in.

'Oh God, what have I gotten myself into?'

It's month-end, Panjavarnam.

What to do?

You called me every week and did not allow me to do business.

How can I survive?

- Hi! - I need a room.

[in Malayalam] It's not clean yet.

You're pretty.

- Thank you! - What the hell, man?

- Get lost. - You come inside.

My fan!

You're one film old. Quit acting like a superstar.

It need not be clean. Just give me the key.

'Jealous prick.'

'You better be on time to the spot. Else…'

'This place looks haunted.'

Oh no!

Lord!

Reception!

WHAT?

The fan isn't working, man!

Man, my throat is bone dry.

Water!

Whoa, no water?

What's happening?

God!

What are they even doing?

RECEPTION!

There's no water!

There's no water here!

Bring me some drinking water, man!

'Who even…'

- Panjavarnam? - There's no water!

You! How dare you deny me water?

Bro!

If you're in your vest, then Panjavarnam is definitely here.

- There's nothing to eat. - Panjavarnam!

- I want food. - I'm searching for my 'food,' too.

Oh, you mean 'Panjamirtham'?

I don't want it in a spoon. Bring me lot. I'm starving.

Panjavarnam!

Panjavarnam.

- Oh, that girl? - Yes!

- Are you looking to have fun? - Yes, yes!

Get out.

Get out!

Get the hell out, man.

Get lost.

Panju?

No, no! Lord, please help me.

I've got shooting tomorrow.

God, I'm hungry!

'Panjavarnam?'

'Panjavarnam?'

'Hey, 'Hindi kaara!''

'I know she's inside.'

'Open the door, man!'

'Panjavarnam!'

'Panjavarnam?'

Will he ever stop?

Son of a dog!

- I'll kill him! - Hey, open up!

'Panjavarnam?'

Hey. She's inside, right?

Panjavarnam?

Come inside.

Where is she?

- She's inside. - Inside?

Why do you need this now?

Here. Have a blast.

Here, right?

Panju?

- Panju-- - Die, man!

'What's going on?'

'Bathroom's empty... where's Panjavarnam?'

To hell with Panjavarnam.

- Moron! - 'You played me, didn't you?'

'Open the door.'

Lord…

I'm sorry.

There's no fan, no water,

- not even food. - 'Bottle's gone and so is Panjavarnam.'

I've only got this.

'You used her as bait and grabbed the bottle.'

''Hindi kaara!''

PANJAVARNAM!

The hero's a bit late, madam.

That's why I wanted Jai Shankar, Ravichandran, or Muthuraman.

- He's an upcoming hero. - Upcoming?

More like late coming.

Sir, the hero is here.

'Come to me, Annokili… Kizz me with love!'

Stop drawing in the air. Are you ready with the dialogue?

- Yes, sir. - Let me hear it.

Stop showing me your fingers. Just tell me the dialogue.

Can't stop it.

Go on!

'Come to me, Annokili!'

'Kizz me with love!'

You might as well raise your hand and take a pledge.

You're saying it like a kid reciting a rhyme.

Deliver it romantically.

Come on.

'Come to me, Annokili!'

'Kizz me with love!'

'Let's elope before our dad catches us.'

It's "your dad." Not "our."

- Your dad. - Our dad.

Our dad.

Gosh!

Did you eat?

Are you hungry?

- Yes. - He might gobble up the film roll.

- Director! - Coming!

What's your plan?

I'll do it perfectly.

God, he's going to turn this into a 300-day shoot.

Rock inside a Stone. Scene 36, shot 1.

- Take 1… - Action!

Come to me, Annokili!

Kizz me with love!

Let's elope…

before your dad catches us.

Director!

Shucks!

God, it stinks!

'I'm dead.'

What happened, madam? What did you do?

- What is it? - He's drunk.

If it were Sivakumar, he'd have been decent.

Don't get mad, madam. I'll place him a bit farther away.

Shot 1, take 2.

Come to me, Annokili!

Kizz me with love!

Let's elope before our dad catches us.

- Director! - Cut!

- Director! - Cut!

Take 12.

- Director! - Cut!

What's wrong now?

I can still smell him.

You could have at least brought Thengai Srinivasan.

- Let's finish this take. I'll-- - Let's do it after lunch.

- Let's go. - Madam, wait. Please.

Twelve takes and you still stink? What the hell did you drink?

I'm here to shoot a movie. Don't make me shoot you.

Give me a tooth powder, sir. I'll brush my teeth.

- Ugh, it stinks. - Oh, God! Make him rinse his mouth.

BREAK!

God, he's killing me.

Is he even a hero?

A drunkard!

He was drunk as a skunk.

I helped get ready and brought him here.

I'm being patient now.

If he can't, then I'll act in it myself.

Greetings, sir.

Where's the hero?

Give me a minute. I'll bring him here.

- Brother, I'm hungry. Give me food. - It's ready, sir.

Madam, look over there.

He's the 'zamin' with 1000-acre land.

If he wants, he can produce ten films at the same time.

What should I do now?

Just greet him.

Might be of use in the future.

Manager, I'm starving.

Let me eat, man.

Stop acting like a hungry dog.

Sorry, hero sir.

Sir! Greetings, sir.

Greetings. Who are you?

Are you the shooting spot's accountant?

Sir! I'm the heroine.

- Really? - Yeah.

I've only seen MGR movies.

Sir, can I take a picture with you?

Of course!

Sir!

- The hero's here. - I lost my food because of you.

Just come with me, sir. Rabbit meat's waiting.

Hero is here.

What took you so long?

Sir, he was standing in line for food.

I brought him here.

Doesn't he have a room here?

Sir, he's a new hero.

He needs to grow.

How can someone grow higher than this?

- Do you have rooms here? - We do.

But it's for the heroine.

Budget problem.

My hero shouldn't be standing in lines anymore.

Give him his own room.

His makeup and meals should be done there.

- Send the bills to my factory. - Okay, sir.

Can I take a picture with you, man?

- Sure, sir. - Hey, come on.

- Hey, hey! - What happened?

He told I'll get rabbit meat.

Bring him the rabbit meat.

Make sure it's warm.

Are you that hungry?

- Yes, sir. - Let's eat.

Click the picture.

- You can have the black Plymouth. - Okay, sir.

I'll take care of the rest.

'This place is insane!'

Call me if you need something.

- I'll be up in a minute. - Sure.

[sings song]

Hello, sir.

Gulkand Kumar!

You're welcoming me in my own house!

That's how you grow.

This is for you and this is mine.

That guy told he delivered a punchy dialogue, right?

- What was that? - The sky's over my head.

The Earth's under my feet.

Gulkand Kumar…

Will you say that dialogue for me?

The sky's over my head.

The Earth's under my feet.

A jungle before my eyes.

But you… you're all inside my heart!

What you guys told me was true.

I've become his fan.

- He is the next MGR. - Of course.

Gulkand Kumar.

Why were you named Gulkand Kumar?

My father's from Thenjavur.

- Where is that? - He meant to say Thanjavur.

He went to Madhya Pradesh for work.

He opened a 'Gulkand' shop there.

That's when I was corn.

- He was a corn?! - No, he was born.

Oh, you were delivered?

- Do you know Lord Murugan? - Of course.

- He's also called Kumar. - Yes.

- My father was selling Gulkand. - Yes.

My name is Kumar.

He joined those two, and I became Gulkand Kumar.

Son…

How did you become a hero?

I came to Madras to twerk.

- He came here to twerk?! - He came here to work.

Do you know the Anna tower park?

- Yeah. - I was selling 'paan' there.

The director came there to eat 'paan.'

He talked to me and he liked my Tamil.

Do you know what he said?

"Gulkand Kumar, your Tamil is atrocious."

"The people here loves it when your Tamil is bad."

So, he made me a hero.

Millions of people are trying for a career in acting.

Look how easy it was for him.

He has become a hero.

I have something to tell him.

- Get out of here. - Okay, sir

Come to me, Annakili! Kiss me with love!

I heard you were begging a woman for a kiss.

What?

This is nice.

Do you like it?

Show me your hand.

It suits you better.

This is for me?! Thank you!

Listen to me, Gulkand.

We shouldn't go behind a woman.

She should come to us.

A movie needs mother's sentiment,

sister's sentiment,

and sentiment for children.

Every movie should have a philosophical song.

This is MGR's formula.

If you follow this formula and rise to the top,

you can stand the test of time.

The movies you act now are just seasonal films.

They'll become a hit.

But soon, they'll send you home.

Is that what you want?

Or do want to become like MGR?

I want to be like MGR.

Promise?

I promise.

I want to see you as the next MGR.

'Come to me, Annakili!'

'Kiss me with love.'

'Let's elope before your dad catches us.'

- Sir… - 'Kalyani.'

- What the hell? - Sir…

I've become a big fan of him.

I'm going to change my whole look to be like him.

We'll last long!

'FATHER'S WORD IS LAW'

Mandhagini,

I'm sure my dad will approve of our relationship.

How does this dress look?

You look like a knockoff Gulkand Kumar.

Ramu, she's my sister's daughter, Poovarasi.

How are you?

She fell in love with six different men by mistake...

and ended up pregnant four times by accident.

If you can find it in your heart to forgive her,

and make her your wife...

Have I ever gone against your word?

What a sacrifice!

That's not a sacrifice. That's betrayal.

If it were me, I'd have chewed my dad out.

Please forgive me, Manthagini.

- Bless us, Father. - Ramu…

And you had the nerve to call this a movie?

- You really brought me out for this? - 'God bless you both.'

We could've watched the other star's film.

'A MOTHER'S FIRST SON'

- This shirt looks good on you. - Let's see if the movie's good first.

Please… don't make me a sinner,

by asking your own son for forgiveness.

But knowing this money will just go to my brother's drinking and gambling…

it breaks my heart.

Mom… my divine goddess!

- Mom… - Ramu!

Are you blind?

'You wouldn't understand, Ramu.'

He was acting like MGR himself!

Now this guy has made a clown out of him.

'No, no, no, no!'

Sir, they're fighting.

Hey, that looks like 'Kangeyam Singaraj.'

Pull over! Pull over!

Hey!

- 'Let him go.' - Hey!

- Hey, knock it off! - Get your hands off me!

- That's enough. - Just stop!

You never lose your cool. What happened to you today?

Tell me, what happened?

'Gulkand Kumar' has had five flops in a row,

so he's taken a one-lakh advance,

to play the villain against that old actor, 'Kannaya,'

says 'Vanna Thirai.'

You bloody jerk!

Yes, he's on a five-flop streak,

and his sixth is such a disaster,

- that the shows are being cancelled. - Another flop?

But you think my idol would really play villain

to that 'Kannaya' for that?

Hey!

- Take it easy. - Is this for real?

It's true, I swear on my sister.

Don't you dare swear on my wife!

I'll kill you with my bare hands!

He took a hundred grand to play the villain?!

- Hey. - Sir.

- We're heading to Madras. Get the car. - Okay, sir.

One-lakh advance to play a villain?!

Here you go, sir.

Take back the advance and cancel the agreement.

I won't allow him to play a villain.

Yes, he had a few flops.

But because of that, you're casting him as a villain against some old actor

who just sits at home babysitting his grandkids?

Have a seat.

What is it, sir?

Why are you so attached to this 'Gulkand Kumar?'

Sir!

He's the one who's going to take MGR's place.

I just really like him.

- It's a gut feeling, sir. - I see.

He is the future Golden Star of Tamil Nadu.

A box office king.

I'll even sell ten acres of my land to prove his worth.

You'll be coming to me for his dates soon.

Mark my words.

Seeing your faith in him,

despite being an outsider to this business,

I realize we were wrong

to cast him as a villain for our own selfish gain.

It's our company's tradition never to take back an advance.

Keep it.

Our banner will produce a film with Gulkand Kumar as the lead.

Not just one, but three films.

Here.

If you'd asked, I would've given you this chump change myself.

You agreed to play a villain for this?

- What's your problem? - What are you talking about?

Who do you think is the reason I'm playing a villain?

- Who? - You.

- Me? How? - You're an MGR fan, right?

Yes, I am.

But you drink.

Did MGR tell you to do that?

We can enjoy his movies, but we can't be him.

You can pray to God, but you can't become one.

Hey, good things always take time to reach the people.

And who fills the seats until then?

The tickets have to sell,

and the canteen has to run.

Otherwise, who's going to cast me?

Of course they'll call me for villain roles.

I'm not sure I follow you.

You know the film 'Sigappu Rojakkal?'

- Yeah. - What did the hero do in that?

- What? - He rapes women and films it.

Yet, he's the hero, right?

- You know 'Billa?' - Yeah.

What does the hero, 'David Billa' do?

- What does he do? - He's a smuggler on the run.

He's riding a horse in a suit,

right down Mount Road in this Madras heat.

Is that what movies have come to these days?

The theaters are drowning in whistles.

You're messing with my head.

No matter what,

you shouldn't be playing anything but the hero.

How old are you?

I'll be 60 in June.

You won't make it to June.

You walk every morning, you swim, you even meditate.

You'll definitely cross 90.

When you're 90,

I'll be 60.

Oh, God!

What am I supposed to do with an inheritance at sixty?

Listen, Dad!

Do you think I'll get a girl at that age?

How will I enjoy the meat when I've lost all my teeth?

If I have to wait for you to die…

Sir, look over here!

- Oh God, save me! - Stab him harder!

These dads will never learn.

Kill him!

Hey! Why are you cheering for a murderer?

- This is the trend. - Trend?!

Yeah, he's not giving up the inheritance, right?

Is killing him a trend?

- He has no inheritance! - Stab him harder!

That's not even his father!

Oh, God!

Drinking in broad daylight?

Is this why I carried you for ten months?

Hey, my father's wife!

Stop with this 'ten months' nonsense.

If I'd stayed for eleven months, you wouldn't have survived.

If I'd come out at seven, I would've died.

Listen, old woman.

You're a mother because a fetus took root in that rusty womb of yours.

Otherwise, you're nothing.

Now, get lost!

Take a puff and feel the bliss.

- Mom, I need the cash for cigarettes. - I won't.

Take a sip and feel the ultimate joy.

My 'Thalaivar' has inspired a thirst in me.

- Give me the money. - I said no!

- No? Then give me your wedding chain. - Get your hands off me!

Give it to me!

My God!

He's running off with his mother's wedding chain!

So what? Mothers always brag about 'ten months.'

A dog can give birth to eight puppies. Does it brag?

But a dog can't even talk!

Super, boss

Hey!

- Hey, she's my wife! - You!

She's my wife now.

Now, how about this?

He just snatched another man's wife, and they're clapping!

That's the trend now.

'Let the nation and its people go to ruin.'

- GULKAND KUMAR! - [crowd] FOREVER!

- GULKAND KUMAR! - [crowd] FOREVER!

- GULKAND KUMAR! - [crowd] FOREVER!

FOREVER!

Mandradiyar's Lakshmi statue now belongs to my brother's house.

My brother's a loyal man!

Everything will work out. Come on.

Hey, I've been looking for you. Where did you go?

I have something to tell you.

I went to receive our guests. Look who's here!

- Who is it? - Look over here, sir.

- How are you, sir? - I'm good.

- How is everyone at home? - They're all good.

Come on, let's go.

- Feel free to check out the place. - I will.

Who the heck is this guy?

Why would you release your movie with Gokulnath's for Diwali?

What's wrong?

Is something wrong between you two?

I was the first to decide on the release dates.

Why would you blame me?

What are you saying?

If I push the date back after the announcement,

- What will people say? - What will they say?

Won't they say that I'm scared of Gokulnath?

So, you're deliberately releasing it on the same date, huh?

Yes.

It's called individuality.

Follow your heart.

- Never lose your uniqueness. - I won't, sir.

- I'll go have lunch. - Yes, please.

They said the 'poisam' tasted good.

- The poison tasted good? - 'Poisam.'

'Payasam.'

- You're half Tamil now. - Hail Tamil!

My dear boy!

Greetings again, sir.

Sir, did you check out the house? Do you like it?

Yeah, the house is nice, but…

- Go ahead, tell him. - You tell him.

- No, you tell him. - Brother, you're the senior.

Sir, what's the problem?

Look.

Mandradiyar may have helped you when you were starting out.

But that doesn't mean he gets to disrespect you.

It's one thing when we're around.

I don't like it!

He's a star. Golden Star!

See? Even he doesn't like it.

If he talks like that in front of the fans,

the huge market you have could crash in a second.

Sir, let's not talk about him.

He's my Godfather.

You came into my life when I was already a star.

He fed me when I had nothing.

So, shall we go eat now?

Come on, let's eat.

Guess he'll never learn.

Did you hear that?

Let's go grab some food. Come on.

I heard you wanted to see me urgently?

Good grief!

You look like a pig in a wallow.

I don't remember seeing this place.

- This is my private space. - Then it should be kept separate.

Hand me the glass.

The whiskey glass.

Oh, you can't get out of there, I get it.

He's already mixed it with water.

- Here. - Do you have any common sense?

Come over to this side. How am I supposed to reach that?

Why does he sound so angry?

Here.

I call you "sir",

but you don't show me any respect.

- That's because we're close. - I get that, but the fans won't.

It appears as if you're a big shot and I'm your servant.

Fair point.

Then instead of "Mandradiyar, sir"…

Then instead of "Mandradiyar, sir," drop the "sir." Just call me Mandradiyar.

Mandradiyar! Mandradiyar!

Even that makes it sound like you're the president,

and I'm a nobody.

Right again.

Then let's just call each other brother.

Okay?

Go get your glass.

I feel the earthworm turning into an anaconda.

Just a minute.

What is it, brother?

I'm a North Indian, you're a South Indian.

Calling each other "brother" won't work.

Then what should I call you?

I'm a big star now.

What do people call me?

They call you the Golden Star.

Then call me "Thangam."

Damn it.

I'll call you--

Use a swear word if you want!

You shouldn't drink it on the rocks and cough like that.

I'm not coughing, I'm crying.

Why are you crying?

If you treat a zamindar who owns a thousand acres, without respect,

what will society think of me?

Come here.

What?

From now on, you call me "Thangam,"

and I'll call you brother.

Okay, Thangam.

- It's called… - Individuality.

Say that again.

- Individuality. - Hail Tamil!

Glory to Tamil!

Sir, I've seen a lot of your fans,

but this one girl,

keeps mailing you letters wherever you go.

"With love…"

"Madhavi Devanand."

Coming up next, a dance performance by Madhavi Devanand!

Madhavi.

"Hey my pretty lady,"

"This is such a beautiful time"

"My heavenly one"

"Your life now weaves with mine"

"You breathe life into every move"

"You rise wherever my gaze roams"

"My eternal blessing"

"Though wingless, I soar"

"Every melody sings of you"

"You make my heart long"

"Every cell now sings its songs"

One autograph, please sir

Sir, please, just one autograph! We are your fans!

Oh, my God!

That performance was mind-blowing!

I should be asking you for an autograph!

- Me? - Yeah!

Talk her into it. Otherwise, no autograph.

Come on, it's just an autograph.

Love?

"Only now has life begun To feel so new"

"Only now does my voice grow silent, As never before"

"In the realm of endless dreams, I glide like a feather"

"In love's timeless rhythm, I chime as your anklet forever"

Hello, Ma'am.

Honey, look who's here!

Hello, Sir.

Devanand is dead?!

If he were still with us,

he'd be offering you Horlicks, fruits,

and even glucose!

Glucose?! What, are we here for a checkup?

Oh, you've got a great sense of humour.

If he'd heard that, he'd be jumping in joy.

Please, have a seat. I'll be right back.

Jumping in joy?

No one needs to see that.

I can't even picture it for a second.

Thank God, Devanand is dead.

But there's still no sign of Madhavi Devanand.

Just forget about Devanand. The guy's dead, let him go.

- Just stick to Madhavi. - Where is she?

You're the one who brought me here. How should I know?

Oh, look! Madhavi's here!

That's her mother.

Here, drink this.

What a kind woman!

I'm just going on and on, but you haven't said a word.

When did Uncle die?

Oh, God!

Don't worry. I'll be right back.

Hey, she gave us glucose!

Who serves that to guests?

You're bad at talking, and she's even worse at serving.

Wow! My God!

In the movie "Burn Thy Neighbor's House",

your five enemies will be hanging off your shoulder,

and you swing them around and throw them into the pond.

- Mom! - Wait, the scene isn't over yet.

Then a huge crocodile attacks them,

and you end up saving the very people you were trying to kill.

- I was blown away, you know. - Mom!

Let me finish.

He won't be here long. When will I ever get to see him again?

Mom, if you agree, you can meet him whenever you want.

Whenever I want?

- But how? - Just like that!

Three…

Two…

One…

And action!

Sir, please come down.

Come down, sir.

Yeah, just like that.

Oh, my God!

You…

He worked so hard to reach the top.

Now you want him to step down?

Why all this negativity?

Director, get up!

Sir, show some respect.

- He's from Bombay. - Screw Bombay!

Why must it be so loud?

Break!

Sir, don't you like how the director works?

What I do on screen matters, not his words behind it.

You once roared like a hungry lion.

Now you sound like a resting cat. What's wrong?

- My wife, Madhavi… - Your wife?

She's giving me hell.

Wait for it.

There's going to be a kissing scene.

Oh no!

It's my first time seeing a kissing scene live.

Cute as a Barbie doll.

Cut!

Who the hell is that?

You!

Are you even my mother?

Madhavi, what's wrong?

Huh?!

When this movie's script came up, the story takes place in Karaikudi.

How the hell did it end up in Kashmir,

with a kiss scene?

- 'Oh, my!' - A kiss scene!

Didn't I warn you not to work with her again after the third film?

- Then why a fourth film with her? - Ours is a winning combination.

It's the producers' decision, not mine!

That lady wouldn't be in the film if you had said no!

She's no lady, just a girl.

The film's already finished. It releases soon.

What do you want me to do?

I don't care! I don't want the movie released!

Then I'll have to pay back my salary.

- Otherwise, I'll go to jail. - I don't give a damn!

- Don't release that movie! - Madhavi…

you can dance all you want in your class not here!

What do you think of yourself, Gulkand?!

And this is why men shouldn't marry women.

Men shouldn't marry women?!

- Where is that even a rule? - Bombay culture.

And it's growing.

Take your hands off me!

What brought you here from Bombay?

- I came here to prove myself. - No, tell me the truth.

- My last film didn't perform well. - And why is that?

The hero was always late, working out in his caravan.

If it had worked, you'd have taken the credit.

Now you blame him?

If you keep blaming the heroes for your failures,

no one will work with you.

Then, I'll start acting.

Sir, but that girl isn't cast in this film.

But that won't fix things.

Uncle…

I won't let you cheat on my sister.

Wherever the outdoor shoot is…

I'll be following you, Gulkand.

Gulkand!

Please don't worry.

Everything will be alright soon.

- What do I do? - Please take care.

- I'm always there for you. - Okay.

Gulkand, you have to rest.

Sure.

Interconnected room, huh?

Gulkand, what are you doing?!

It's not what you think it is.

We're just friends. Please don't get the wrong idea.

Wrong?

Sister, she says they'll continue their dance in the dark,

and that you were wrong to barge in without knocking.

Hey! Have you lost your mind?!

Don't trust him. He's lying. He's a snake!

How dare you hit my brother in front of me?

Hey, please, calm down. What's wrong with you?

Just shut it! Not another word!

- No, no, no. - Don't you have any shame?

- Please... calm down! - Make her understand.

- Please don't blow this up! - Talk to me in Tamil.

[in Hindi] Oh my God! You're driving me crazy!

What's wrong with you?

She was my friend, she is my friend, and she'll always be my friend!

What has happened to you?

He says he only wants her, not you.

Don't trust him! He's translating it all wrong

Damn it!

It's all because of you.

Hey! Ugh!

Please calm down. Everything will be alright.

What's your wife's problem?

She has trust issues.

Hey!

- You, scoundrel! - Hey!

Madhavi, Madhavi.

What now?

Let's make it happen.

Gulkand!

Huh?

Yes.

Sir, what next?

What next, huh?

Huh!

Title: Ding Dong bell. Scene 20, night effect.

The hero's wife saw him with his side chick.

- What even is this? - Biopic, sir.

I just got a new story.

Of course. There's no way you'll think on your own.

This will be a Bollywood blockbuster.

Go away, right now!

Hey, well done, Ram.

How's the bro?

Who?

I meant his brother-in-law.

Listen, Gulkand.

Brother.

You struggled on the streets doing small jobs.

You worked so hard to reach this place.

- How can you ask for a divorce now? - Is there another way?

Look, Gulkand.

Remember your friend Gokulnath?

Does he get an opening in theatres now?

He left his family, so the audience left him.

Son, women and children make up most of your fans.

That because you're a family man.

A real man doesn't look for excuses to leave his wife.

Despite endless problems,

a man who stands by his wife…

is the kind of man the Tamil Nadu audience will love.

- Then what about my happiness? - Mm.

You don't want to lose your happiness,

and I don't want you to lose your wife.

So what now?

Leave it to me.

You unwantedly doubted your husband

and sent your brother to spy on him.

You touched his ego. Using that, she touched him.

Let him go. He'll come back.

You are wonderful dancer.

Start a dance school.

Teach dance to kids and distract yourself.

Save your marriage.

It's all up to you now.

Son!

Hey!

Son!

A new hero has arrived in K- town.

He's dancing, singing, doing it all.

Okay.

The day our Lakshmi idol left this house,

was the day when this family's wealth started leaving.

- That idol is our family's property. - Shut it!

To hell with your thousand-acre stories!

It isn't growing to a thousand and one,

nor dropping to nine hundred and ninety-nine.

Ever since I met "Gulkand" Kumar, I've been spending only on him.

I'm planning to…

become the owner of 1,00,000 acres of land in Pollachi.

You're so smart!

- How will you do that? - You!

Ugh, someone please muzzle this lady! She's nothing but a walking jinx!

- Sure, sir. - What about coffee?

Pour it over her head.

I'm on my way to achieve my goals!

- What kind of a minister are you? - It was a mistake.

Sit down.

Sir…

- Yes? - Flash news.

My humble greetings to the organizers and elders seated on this stage.

I also welcome the three great pillars

that is print, television, and the press.

Our leader's here.

- Our leader! - Long live!

- Our leader with a golden heart! - Long live!

- Our golden leader! - Long live!

- Our fearless leader! - Long live!

- Our golden leader! - Long live!

- Our tiger, our leader! - Long live!

- Our fierce leader! - Long live!

- Our leader! - Long live!

- Our golden leader! - Long live!

- Our fierce leader! - Long live!

[cheering continues]

My boy, Singaraj.

- Long live! - Long live!

Leader?!

Silence, please. Please have your seat.

Until now, this was the Leader's fan welfare association.

From today, we announce that it will become a people's forum.

We have one more news.

Our leader will personally present

incentive awards to those who perform exceptionally in our forum.

Come on.

Our forum's first member, Kangayam Chikkiraj receives

his first incentive from Sir.

Next, Namakkal Nagalakshmi.

Musiri Sathyapriya.

Hello?

One minute.

Our eldest member, Rasamma.

Looks like they'll start a party soon.

They changed the fans club into a people's forum.

- Welcome. - Give me a minute.

Why?

Hello, sir.

Welcome.

You'll ask that question.

- Muthupandi, wait. - Sir, my name is Namachivayam.

- Oh, you're Namachivayam? - Yes, sir.

Sir.

If the press asks questions, just read this and answer them.

How will this random note answer their questions?

Whatever they ask, answer them from this.

You just have to give an answer.

It doesn't have to be right.

- Chief! - Our Leader!

To all my brothers and sisters,

My, hero! I'm forever a fan of your Tamil.

This common man is happy to be in your presence.

I thank you all for that.

Go on.

Sir, you have immense wealth and fame.

The people of this state have given you so much.

What will you do in return?

I have a lot to do for them.

For now,

To widen the Ulundurpettai railway track,

this anarchic government has taken over farmers' land.

Where did that come from?

Those farmers are devastated.

On that matter,

along with my 12 lakh fans,

[fans together] Twelve lakhs!

We are here for you.

I'll march towards the Secretariat.

How will we pay those 12 lakh fans?

Whatever.

I'll question those in power.

If we don't get answers,

I'll protest against them.

People need justice.

They should get it.

- Sir, one more question. - Sir!

Please.

No more questions.

One more thing.

I'll be at peace only after I know you've all reached home safely.

Only then can I sleep.

Will you all reach home safely?

- [fans together] Yes! - Will you?

We will!

Long live Tamil!

Long live my Tamil Nadu's people.

- Long live Tamil! - Long live Tamil Nadu's people.

The Golden Star, who tops the box office,

has turned his fan club into a people's forum.

For the first time, he has also spoken about politics in front of his fans.

Looking at all this, he might soon join politi--

People went crazy.

All this while, there was no cinema news without you.

From now on, there will be no political news without you.

You've become an all-rounder.

I am proud of you, Thangam.

Thanks, brother.

Wow! Must be some channel guy.

Yes. Which channel is this?

What happened?

We're being raided.

Huh?!

Hello?

Why?

What's wrong?

We have only four days left for the release.

They've got a court stay on the film.

Why?

Apparently, some scenes show communal conflict.

But it's an alien movie!

It's a science-fiction love movie.

One thing is clear.

They've cornering us.

Look out! A lorry!

Sir, are you okay?

Sir, he's threatening to kill us.

Sir, are you okay?

Sir, what happened?

Sir, are you okay?

They're trying to kill us now?!

Keep moving.

Don't gather around.

Sir, there's no way here.

- But the VOC street's here. - You can't go this way.

- It's just the next street. - Won't you listen?

The CM's on his way. Just move.

- What the hell? - Just move your car.

Why are there so many police men?

You can't go that way. Not allowed.

- Turn around. - But the vehicles are going.

That's only for two wheelers.

Four wheelers are not allowed.

Go back.

Hey, hold on.

You come. Go this way.

Come on. Go this way.

Didn't you say that four wheelers are not allowed?

- Hey, that's the Chairman's car. - Sir!

- Do you know who's inside? - Who?

I just don't care.

Is he this area's councillor?

Councillor?!

It's not like the chairman is the country's president.

The man inside gets 200 crores as his salary.

Hey! How does that matter to me?

It's not like he's giving it to me.

The government is my boss.

Do I look like a fool to leave way for every random man?

You're being very rude.

Do one thing. Carefully take out your 200 crores,

and make him walk to his house.

He's not the state's CM to give him special attention.

Hey, get out of here.

Officer, you're creating problems here.

The government will change anytime. So will your fate.

The situation will change for sure.

You will be answerable for all this.

The CM's coming back from the event. Why's traffic so bad?

Clear it! Clear it! Who's on now? Come to the line.

Sir.

CM's coming back. I don't care how.

Clear the roads!

Okay, sir.

You can't go in. Hold on.

Hey!

Hey, listen to me.

Sorry, sir.

Bless you!

Come!

Come!

Crowds are at the court, awaiting the verdict on Vettru Kragavasai.

- Lift it! Lift it! - Lift the ban!

- Lift it! Lift it! - Lift the ban!

Your hero worked incredibly hard to reach this height,

and he has a fan association behind him.

But don't you think it's wrong to challenge a CM

who was elected by the people?

So that gives them the right to order an IT raid?

Sir, the Income Tax Department is under the Central Government.

Look at these guys!

I feel sorry for him,

having people like you around who don't even know this.

Then how do you explain that lorry that tried to run him over?

There are ten crashes there every month!

If you drive through there, you're bound to get hit.

How can the government be responsible for that?

Then why did he make this gesture?

He must've been warning him to drive properly.

Hey, looks like he's been bought off.

Listen, he might not know anything about politics,

but The Goddess knows.

Isn't that why She came down on him?

Don't talk politics when you are in a white dhoti, sir!

And why shouldn't we? What if we do?

Do you think actors don't understand politics?

Does he know how many constituencies there are in Tamil Nadu?

Is he even aware of the issues of the Tamil people?

Does he at least know the names of the former Chief Ministers of this state?

Just ask him to name five.

Hey! You're crossing the line!

What the hell is he talking about?

You are too young to question us.

One hit and you'll stop breathing. Just get out of here.

That's all I'm saying

The ban has been lifted! Justice always prevails. It never fails.

Victory… Victory is ours!”

The hashtag #WeStandWithGoldenStar

is trending on social media.

I heard you wanted to ask something. Go ahead.

I asked how many constituencies there are in Tamil Nadu.

There are a total of 234 constituencies.

TK, Tirunelveli and Kanyakumari have eleven constituencies.

MR, Madurai and Ramanathapuram have fifteen constituencies.

TT, Tiruchy and Thanjavur have eighteen constituencies.

Salem and Dharmapuri have sixteen constituencies.

Coimbatore and Tiruppur have eighteen constituencies.

North Arcot, South Arcot, and Chengalpattu

have fifty-six constituencies.

Apart from that, Tamil Nadu and Puducherry together,

have forty parliamentary constituencies.

Why did he leave out Pondicherry?

You fool, Puducherry and Pondicherry are the same.

Oh, right.

What was the other question?

You asked if I know about the issues in Tamil Nadu, right?

The Cauvery issue. The Mullai Periyar issue.

The Katchatheevu issue. The Nilgiri–Western Ghats issue.

The Tamil Nadu fishermen issue. The Sri Lankan Navy issue.

The Sterlite issue. The methane issue.

Let's talk about what's already gone.

Our river sand is depleted. Our minerals are stripped bare.

The treasury is bone-dry,

and Tamil Nadu is drowning in nine trillion rupees of debt,

a number that's only climbing.

I intend to fix these issues. What's your problem with that?

He nailed it! Now go drown yourself in shame.

You questioned my knowledge of Tamil Nadu politics, didn't you?

Let me answer that.

In 1952, C. Rajagopalachari was the CM.

In 1954, K. Kamaraj was the Chief Minister.

In 1963, M. Bhakthavatsalam was the Chief Minister.

In 1967, C. N. Annadurai was the Chief Minister.

In 1969, M. Karunanidhi was the Chief Minister.

In 1977, M. G. Ramachandran was the Chief Minister.

2026... now it's my turn.

TN 2026

Gulkand Kumar!

[crowd] CM! CM! CM!

That's my brother!

[crowd] CM! CM! CM!

Bravo, Gulkand!

TN 2026 The Golden Star.

They're not in the town.

Then they must be here. Find them.

Hey!

- Who's that for? - You, man.

Your craze for politics got us here. I'm starving, man.

- Don't scold him. - Why, man?

It's already 12 a.m. It's his 60th birthday today.

Hope he dies on his birthday.

What's wrong?

Nice timing. You spoke and a snake showed up.

If the snake bites, only he dies. If we scream, we all die.

Why are you laughing?

The snake moved away.

Oh, God!

Even a cobra couldn't survive his stench.

We're dead.

[cheers continue]

- Politics? - It'll be nice if he steps in.

It'll be great if he comes.

He's like my brother. Let him come.

We'll stand by him.

As soon as I get my voter ID, I'll vote for him.

Let's see if he actually wins. What are you afraid of?

I don't like Gulkand. I'm an MGR fan.

Sounds great, granny!

My hero's already the CM. He'll always be.

2026 will be ours.

Your opinion?

We'll rule in 2026. Do you have a voter ID?

- I have it, brother! - Don't miss your vote, bro.

Ok, bro.

[cheers continue]

Sir, you got a call.

Mr. Mandradiyar, what's your problem?

You turn a beeda seller into a leader and celebrate him.

And the entire state's behind him.

I've read about your family's legacy.

Leaders like Bhakthavatsalam, Kamaraj, and Arignar Anna…

Dr. Kalaignar, Puratchi Thalaivar MGR, Ms. Jayalalithaa,

they've all visited your home.

It's true that they all came to my house.

But even my neighbours don't recognize me.

So this is your problem?

The leader sent a message for you.

Be ready to take oath as the minister tomorrow at 11 a.m.

Wondering what the logic is?

The leader will make an MLA resign from a sure-win seat.

Win the by-election.

Within six months you'll be MLA and continue as a minister.

Simple as that.

You'll take the post only after knowing the constituency?

I'll ask the leader and get you his constituency.

The leader already grabbed half of it.

Why? Won't you be a minister without a constituency?

- I'll happily be one. - That's it.

What do you say, Mandradiyar?

Only now I realize

that officers like you decide a politician's future.

I didn't rush here because I'm afraid.

The moment my leader Gulkand Kumar said he'll start a party…

I came to see how scared you are.

When I can make ministers,

why would I beg for one seat?

I'm a kingmaker.

Tell your leader

that once the election is over and the new Assembly forms,

he should be ready for the Opposition bench.

What's bothering you, sir?

Bye-bye, Tata! See you later!

If you don't come to power this time,

quit swapping your photo and flag like slippers.

Joker!

I pity him.

- Ni Hao - Qing ya!

I left them shaken.

Do you really think I'll become the CM?

It's not just me. The entire country believes it.

The people's fingers are waiting for the ink,

and their eyes are hunting for the voting booths.

If I become the CM,

does my phone have to stay on 24/7?

Yes, of course.

For every important decision, authorities will come to you first.

Why?

Huh?

During heavy rains,

you'll have to decide when to open the dam.

If someone becomes an anti-national,

you'll have to approve his encounter.

So, who's going to drink on my behalf after 7?

Who'll keep my girlfriend company after 9 then?

Good God!

We definitely can't hire someone for these duties, right?

Of course not!

We have to do it ourselves!

- Think about this. - What?

My phone stays on…

and my girl waits…

That's not fair, right?

Yes. You'll get caught!

Oh, really?

I gave up a 200-crore salary to serve the people.

The people will be happy, obviously.

But what do I gain?

Brother…

The pleasure that runs through my nerves from head to toe

should be mine to enjoy.

What a guy he is!

The whole state yearns

for a smart, active leader, who cares about the people.

That's why you entered politics.

Why should a CM be smart?

What the--

Isn't loving the people enough?

Do you need IAS to become a CM?

There are many such officers out there.

They'll hand me the files.

And I'll bump into a poor classmate of mine who's selling bananas.

I'll make him my PA.

He'll put all the files together

and say, 'Bro, just sign here!'

And I'll do as he says!

Beeda's talking about bananas now?

Brother, what's the other thing you mentioned?

An active leader.

What's the need?

To sign all those files,

isn't your index finger more than enough?

If that doesn't work,

we have our thumb!

Dip it in ink, stamp it, and pass the GO!

Oh, oh.

What was that last nonsense?

Someone who cares about the people.

Where does he have the time?

He has to attend his party member's wedding in the morning.

Hand over the nuptial thread to the groom.

And in the evening, if any celebrity or party member dies,

he has to rush there to lay a garland at his feet.

And also has to visit the party office.

To resolve any ongoing issues.

Then go home for lunch and act like you loved your wife's cooking.

And head to your lover's place to savor the real feast.

In the meantime, he'll also have to manage his side hustles.

There's more?

- Why did you go quiet? - My brain's all fried up.

So…

How many politicians in Tamil Nadu are above 70?

So many.

How many good ones?

Not a clue.

Choose one among them.

- I'll speak for him. - I don't get it.

I'll support him. He'll become the CM.

By the time I turn 70, he'll be 90 and long gone.

Then the CM's throne is all mine!

- Selvam! - Yes, sir.

- Hey! What are you going to do? - I'm going to have him wear his shoe.

Who do you think you are to do that?

Why am I here?

Get lost.

Why is he taking up my job?

Leader, you're 50 now.

You've got another 25 years left.

If you start a party now, you'll get to contest five elections.

Lose thrice, you can still win twice. Lose twice, you can win thrice!

Many will trust us and join our party.

He'll clear his debts, build a house, get married,

and if he gets filthy rich,

he'll keep as many side chicks as he wants, just like you.

At 70? Your fans are ordinary people.

Many would have died. And many would be having dentures.

And the rest would've worn out just by being your fans.

So, what are you trying to say?

You're 50.

The CM's seat is calling your name. You can take it easily.

Dream of the throne at 70? Too late.

Power is like a characterless woman.

It keeps shifting and never stays still.

Brother,

I was just testing

how firm you are about your policy.

What the hell?

I knew it.

You understood something today.

I am success.

Yes, sir.

The hard disk and CCTV footage will be yours soon.

We'll also send in footage if he's with another heroine.

No casualties!

Hey! Come on, shoot!

Yes! Yes! Damn it!

Security! Security!

Power backup! Power backup!

Security?

Hey!

Where's the hard disk at?

Both the girl and that hard disk are upstairs.

Thangam's dead meat tonight.

[nostalgic song plays]

Finish these bunch of clowns first!

I'm not gum you chew and toss away.

Beat the drum, I'm here to play!

[song from Thulluvadho Ilamai plays]

You thought I was some cement bond?

Loser, I'm freaking James Bond!

We underestimated him, man!

Let's fight him together!

It's worth thirty weapons!

You punched my leader?

How dare you!

Bold of you to do so!

I haven't even caught him yet, you old clowns!

We look like clowns to you?

What the heck are they firing up now?

Those clowns are clearly cooking up something!

You better hide or we'll blast you into pieces!

Om Sakthi! Parasakthi!

Get away, you evil spirits!

Try getting past us to get to Thangam!

How did this happen, sir?

The ruling power's atrocities are outrageous.

If our leader had died, what would've happened to us?

We don't trust the police anymore.

To protect our leader, 2000 of us are ready to die.

[all] Greetings, Sir.

Who are they?

They've served as MLAs and Ministers under multiple parties.

Were they expelled from the parties

or are they here to support our newly formed party?

All of them were expelled, actually.

- Such troublemakers, huh? - You could say so.

I've been meaning to ask…

Sir's not going to start a refuge for political castaways.

All of you have experience and have been in powerful positions.

You think the public will buy it

if I parade you in the cabinet,

and talk about your caliber?

We're not marketing agents.

- How old are you? - I'm 84, sir.

Ah, you say that like you're still young.

Everyone in our cabinet is under 40.

For 25 years, his loyal supporters have run donation drives,

launched welfare schemes, celebrated every one of his films,

and forged an image that speaks for itself.

You want to tear all of that down?

The day he announces his party,

his supporters will be ready

to contest as MPs, MLAs,

or even ward councillors to serve society.

- We're well experien-- - No, thanks. We've got that.

- We can pull large crow-- - Please, his presence's enough.

- We'll turn votes into seat-- - We know how, too. Zip it!

- You can trust me, sir! - For you to switch parties easily?

You'll need someone to map out routes while campaign--

That's why we've got Google Maps, you birdbrain!

This lot's only all talk and no show!

Raze them down with our car! Do it!

Tamil Nadu's average voter turnout stands at 70 percent.

In order to form a government, you need 33 percent.

But if you form a party now and start a government,

the chances are only 12 percent.

And that's the result of my research.

Sir, you're bringing tables, charts, and whatnot.

Did MGR need all that to become CM?

Our leader has that same fan craze!

You see? MGR was well prepared.

The first thing he did was turn his fans into party workers.

That's why.

Our leader's fans will follow the same path. What's the big deal?

Okay, let me explain.

A friend of mine resides in Andhra.

A national party member.

Alpha star Markandeyan. You must have heard of him.

He was his hard-core fan!

First day, first show. He watches all his movies.

But when Markandeyan started a party

he stopped watching his films.

What do you learn from this?

Everyone celebrates a hero until he starts a party.

But the moment he does,

all the other parties get anxious.

What is he going on about?

Sir, enough beating around the bush.

How can our leader become the CM? Tell us that!

I don't see any other option.

Alliance.

What?

That won't work.

You mentioned 12 percent.

We'll get 60 seats.

They'll take rest 174 seats.

If they come to power, they'll be the CM

and make our leader the Deputy CM.

If within three months they drag all our MLAs to their side,

what will be left of our party?

That depends on the MLAs who win

and whether they remain loyal to your leader afterward.

Leader…

If you ever doubt me, I'll bury myself!

Why would we start a party just to make someone else CM?

Just tell us how our leader can win!

All we can hope for is a miracle.

Best wishes to all of you.

What use is this to me, damn it?

What the hell was that?

Shall we shake things up a bit?

Greetings, Minister of Municipal Affairs.

Greetings to the Minister of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources.

Greetings to the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu!

What are you looking at?

Only now can we drop by to see you here.

After the elections, it'll be appointment-only at the Secretariat.

Wow!

I ran a poll.

Our vote share stands at 40 percent.

What?

Huh?

What?

We need 33 percentage?!

Did that guy write this?

This is what they said, in a state in the North.

That only 60 percent of the votes have been polled.

Now it's 70 percent!

Likewise, Tamil Nadu has only 70 percent for now.

But in this election, it'll be 80.

Who votes for a leader just because they like him?

If they hate 'A,' they vote for 'B.'

If they hate 'B,' they vote for 'A.'

But you're different.

From 'A' to 'Z', everybody adores you!

Leader,

after news leaked about our party launch,

the other parties started giving us a hard time.

Come on, they even hired men to kill you!

Because of all this, people feel sorry for you

and have a soft corner for you.

Trust me.

Even if you start a party and fight alone,

you'll sweep that 40 percent.

You don't trust me?

I'll prove your power now.

Idiyappam!

- Looks like idiyappam! - This time…

There's no doubt we'll win power.

I'm the first Tamil Nadu politician ever to wear pants.

Only after seeing me wear pants

did the other politicians start copying the look.

Hey, our Golden Star is planning to start a party.

He thinks he can start a party during the general election,

and become CM instantly.

And won't contest in the by-elections.

If he dared contest this by-election,

he'd face a massive loss and humiliation.

He'd have fled from politics.

- Can you hear me? - Idiyappam!

Won't he ever stop?

What's your opinion?

There are just two routes to Salem.

One's a lane, the other, through the forest.

And if the other one builds a tar road,

why would we choose the lane?

All I'm saying is, if our Golden Star contests,

- We'll vote for him. - Did you hear that, boss?

Who says he'll build a tar road?

He isn't entering politics for money.

But to serve people.

- Dirty rug, what's the matter? - Dirty rug?

Hey, he's saying that if Gulkand Kumar stands in this by-election,

he'll lose his deposit!

He's our MGR.

- But he's dead. - Hey!

- How dare you? - Did you hear that?

Do you realize your power now?

Do you see it now?

Mr. Kangeyam Singaraja, the first member of the fan club,

has formed an alliance with our party.

We invite him to address us.

Hey, Gulkand Kumar!

Had we just left you with your beeda,

you would have been a nobody selling fritters now!

You're just a stale piece of beeda!

- Just mind your own business. - Guys, where are you?

Act, receive appreciations, and head home on time!

You damn fellow!

This is Tamil Nadu. A land that gives life to its people!

You want to live?

That's okay.

But you want to rule? Isn't that greedy?

I used to be your fan.

I'm ashamed, hurt, humiliated, disgusted, and absolutely dusted!

- Are you guys asleep? - No!

- Look at him up there talking! - His speech is firing up the crowd.

What? What do you mean?

If you're truly a man,

start a party, hold campaigns,

and stand in a constituency.

And I'll stand opposing you.

If you get your deposit against me,

I'll run a hundred laps around Pollachi naked!

I'm ready!

Are you for real?

Hey, Gulkand Kumar!

[in unison] Traitor! Traitor! Traitor!

How?

How dare you betray my leader?

He gave you an important post and celebrated you.

Is this how you repay him?

Sir, Leader asked me to do this.

Wow! Wow! Is this a dream?

Any idea how long I've been waiting to face you in person?

Can I touch you?

- What will you do for me? - I'll behead anyone!

Hey Singaraj, the elections are nearing.

Meet with Minster Mohanarangam.

Demand one crore. He'll pay you.

If my loyal member joins hands with them, it'll be their breaking news.

- What's the reason, Leader? - Join that party first.

Bash me at every stage! Cuss me all you want!

Whack my poster with a slipper.

Leader! I'll never do that!

- Singaraj. - I'll always be at your feet.

You're the only pillar of my fan club.

If you leave now,

I'll see how many of the fake well-wishers will leave.

Only then your leader, can shine bright!

- That's your plan? - But if you start a party, I'll join you!

- Kangeyam will be mine, right? - Deal.

Then, I promise, Leader!

It's him.

- Yes, Leader. - Did you see what Singaraj did?

Forget about him.

- Brother, listen to me. Listen! - You know the game now.

You're ready to play now!

Breaking news.

Golden Star Gulkand Kumar is allegedly having an affair with an actress.

Could it be that heroine?

No, it must be the heroine he worked with in his last film.

Could it be the heroine from his last movie?

Check this out.

I wore this white shirt for you.

I love you.

He's getting slammed everywhere and you're busy romancing?

As if they've got any secret to reveal.

What is there to reveal about you?

I've been with you for years.

Can they ever know you the way I do?

You're like a pearl untouched by dirt.

You're as pure as untouched snow.

You're a closed book, with a child's heart.

He's worked with 28 actresses so far. Who's he involved with in real life?

- You want to know who? - That's what I've been asking.

Want to know her name? It's Tylashree.

Tylashree?!

- Damn, I just followed her. - That's quite a twist.

Do you believe it now?

Yeah, she looks terrified of him in that picture. He must be trouble.

Hey!

Not over there. Over here.

Hey, Barrel. I mean… baby.

Roll over to that side.

You, get over here.

- My dear media. - Yes, sir.

Whatever Rukmini, the women's wing deputy president

of Kambar Thiruvalluvar Munnetra Kazhagam said is true.

Disgusting!

You made that grand entrance just to say this?

Hey, Murukku Moorthy, take it easy. I'll break your hip.

It's true that Tylashree is at the beach house in ECR.

That's exactly what he said.

- But who is she involved with? - Who?

- It's not Gulkand Kumar. - Then who is it?

Him?!

This is even worse than the rumours.

Let me see.

Are you having an affair with her?

Not an affair. She's my second wife.

Then why are you keeping it a secret?

That's exactly the point.

If you had a second wife, would you go around announcing it?

I'm not even married once.

That's your issue, go see a doctor.

Hello.

- Sir, please hear me out… - How dare you twist this into a scandal?

- You've damaged the party's reputation. - Please listen…

- You're removed from your post. - Sir…

Your eyes are popping out of your glasses.

Her role in the women's wing is over.

Sir, that may be true,

but why reveal it now?

Since they're using this man's affair to smear that man's character,

we decided not to keep it a secret anymore.

Sir, this is hard to process.

You just heard it. Think about Mandradiyar, who's actually living it.

Do you understand now that Gulkand Kumar is Mr. Clean?

Don't rush, guys.

They could've linked you with

"Gubeer Gupta" or "Brinda Agarwal."

Instead, they're dragging in some old actress.

She married an education officer and settled in London,

and they chose her.

You're such a good guy,

totally innocent,

a lifelong bachelor,

and clean as a whistle.

Get out.

Get out?!

Why did you laugh?

Nothing.

You said someone married an education officer and settled in London.

Who's that?

The actress who starred with you in "Kallukkul Parai," Tylashree.

- She's in London? - Yeah. I read all the gossip columns.

Then who is that?

Hello, sir.

Hello, dear.

You still have that same old charm.

Looks like the education officer is taking good care of you.

- Has he come? - Right there,

- Where? - …is my education officer.

He has no idea what education is.

Since when?

Come to me, Annokili!

Kizz me with love

Let's elope before Our father finds us

He's still holding on to that old relic?!

How far would you go to make him CM?

- I'd sacrifice anything. - Say that again.

- I'd sacrifice anything. - Then that's exactly what you'll do.

From this moment on, as far as the world is concerned,

not him,

you're my husband, and I'm your wife.

What kind of offer is this?

Just say yes.

You used to speak your mind like a kid.

But ever since you met Gulkand Kumar, you've gone quiet.

What's wrong, brother?

This guy used to call me every week to learn the ABCs of politics.

Now? He's trying to play politics with me!

I don't get it, brother.

Since he's launching his own party,

I told him if we team up, we'd have the election in the bag.

But you know what he said?

He told me, 'Brother, let's just stay brothers.

Politics will only tear us apart.'

You think he'll win like the media is predicting?

Not a chance.

I'll make sure that doesn't happen.

[chanting mantra]

Gulkand party is finished!

Gulkand glory is finished!

I thought you guys were atheists?

We are. But we never said we didn't believe in Satan.

Hey!

Gulkand's hair!

Finished!

The dust from Gulkand's feet!

Finished! Finished!

You're betraying Gulkand for a measly five lakhs?

Don't you have any shame?

If anyone's going to screw him over, it's going to be me.

- Hey! - I'm sorry.

His fame!

Burned!

Look, you're from other state.

To the people of Tamil Nadu, your religion and caste are a total mystery.

You already have twenty percent of the vote.

You did a film for Sevanthiappan,

sure, it flopped, but you gained six percent of his caste's vote bank.

Then you did a film for Bathalaraj.

That one was a hit, and you picked up five percent of his caste's vote.

Twenty plus six makes twenty-six. Add five, that's thirty-one.

To form a government, we need thirty-six percent.

I've spoken to a director named Nagalingam.

He's from that caste.

If you do a film with him, you'll gain another five percent,

bringing it to thirty-six in total.

It's going to be a three-way battle.

With thirty-six percent, victory is certain.

In three months, you'll be the Chief Minister.

You mentioned a guy named Nagalingam, right?

Someone from that same community is coming in to narrate a script

His name is Gandharvan. Apparently, he studied abroad.

- Studied abroad? - Yeah.

Then he must be technically brilliant.

Fine, let's go with Gandharvan.

All we need is that five percent vote.

Hey, grab us two black coffees. Make sure there's no sugar.

Brother... this is Gandharvan.

- The director from abroad? - Yeah.

Since when did they start including Chengalpattu in 'Foreign'?

Excuse me, please move.

Okay.

Start.

Sir, this script is pure magic.

- As we open... - We can pour a drink from it.

Hey, old man!

Sir... this script is confidential. Do we really need him?

He's like a brother to me. Just get on with it.

Sir... water.

Get some water.

- For who? - For him! Get him some water.

Make it quick.

Disturbance.

You... go on.

- Sir, as we open-- - Here. Open it.

Sir... I already have a cold, and he's giving me chilled water.

Then blow on it until it's warm.

Brother, please step outside. I need to listen to the script.

Please.

He's a dead ringer for that guy.

Sir, this script is pure magic.

- Sounds like him too. - Just narrate the script.

As we open,

we see a tiny, remote hamlet nestled deep in the Western Ghats.

Only six hundred people live there.

Sugarcane, paddy, bananas, and peanuts grow in abundance.

That harvest brings in huge revenue for the government,

but in return?

Not a single rupee of funding reaches them.

That's the core conflict.

Wait, there must be a Panchayat President, right?

Why hasn't he fought for the funds or questioned the government?

Exactly, Sir!

Now you're getting the soul of the story.

For five generations, the presidency has stayed within one single family.

And nobody in the village thought to contest against them?

- They won't, sir. - Why?

They believe if anyone stands against that family,

their cattle will die during birth,

the daughters of the house will never find a groom,

and the family will drown in debt.

They even say that on the front porch,

someone from the family will always be waiting for death.

They have deeply planted this fear into the villagers.

And the people believe it.

That's interesting.

So how does my character get involved?

You come to this village on a journey to find your ancestral deity.

When you arrive, you see the reality.

No roads, no water, no hospital, no school.

- You call this a story? - You realize what's going on.

You walk straight to the President's mansion and roar,

"Hey! Come out, you shameless coward!"

"I don't own a cow."

"I don't have any debts. I don't have a daughter."

"Hell, my house doesn't even have a front porch!"

You challenge him right there and contest the election.

Those six hundred villagers vote for you, and make you the President.

- The what? - The whole village celebrates your victory!

Wow! Wow!

Brilliant! Brilliant!

Where have you been all these years?

- In London, sir - London! London!

I get your slang now.

- Brilliant, brilliant! - Thank you, Sir.

Bro, come here.

Sir, it's going so well! Why are you calling him?

Oh no… I hope he doesn't screw this up.

That's easily the best script I've heard yet.

The action works,

the emotions land, it's very engaging.

You heard him. What do you think?

- I didn't like it. - What's wrong with it?

Sir, he's outdated. Why ask him?

You bloody local!

We climbed step by step to reach this level,

trying to make him the next Chief Minister

and you want to drag us back?

You've written a character who ends up as a small-town president,

in the middle of nowhere,

and you're calling me outdated?

Brother!

How dare you?

How could you slap him?

Say sorry to him.

- To him? - He came here for me. Say sorry to him.

I won't.

Brother, the mistake is yours. You have to.

- I won't. - You have to.

- I won't. - You have to.

- I won't. - You have to.

- I won't. - You have to.

- I won't. - You have to.

- I won't. - You bloody, apologize!

This twist is brilliant!

Hey, Gulkand.

When you couldn't even afford a proper meal,

I fed you like a king.

When all you had was a broken fan,

I showed you AC cars and an air-conditioned house.

- Brother! - Hey!

You've lost the right to call me that. Don't ever call me that again.

When your career was about to end with villain roles,

I turned you into the Golden Star.

When your divorce nearly drove you mad,

I stepped in,

settled things with your wife,

and protected your image as a family man.

But you…

…you tanked my reputation with that Tylashree scandal.

- Brother! - Brother?

Who are you calling brother?

Were we born to the same mother?

Get lost, you immigrant.

My mother did warn me.

Never trust actors,

they'll wash you away just like they wash off their makeup.

She even told me, never trust someone who outgrow me.

You used to be a small-time vendor,

and now you've turned into a con artist.

I'll just…

Get lost, you demon… you're nothing but a bad omen!

Sir, this script is pure magic.

Oh, no! Oh, my God!

Sir!

Oh, no! Oh, my God!

Oh, my God!

Sir!

- What happened to you? - What's wrong with him?

What happened to you, dear?

Gulkand has betrayed him!

I knew it. I told you, he'd wash you off just like his makeup.

It's our deity's grace that brought him back home safely.

Cast away the evil eyes of this town... The jealous eyes of the kin...

The hungry eyes of the dogs and the foxes…

And most of all... the cursed eyes of Gulkand Kumar!

- Spit, my dear! - Go on, honey.

Take that shirt off... and toss it in the gutter.

Okay, Mom.

From now on, I'll do as you tell me.

- Senga. - Sir.

Today, we're scouting every single one of our orchards and fields.

Sure, sir.

Greetings, sir. What brings you here?

From now on, you can come see me anytime.

Why would we do that, sir?

Since this is my grove, I've decided to work here with you all.

- Your grove? - Yeah.

But sir, you sold it to Shanmuga Sundaram.

I sold it?

Yes, sir.

Hey, come on.

Let's go to our Goundampalayam coconut grove.

Sir, you sold it to Mr. Malaisamy.

- To Malaisamy? - Yeah.

Alright, then let's go to the Kurumbapalayam grove.

Sir…

- Sir… - Where's that coming from?

Sir, from over there.

- What? - You sold it to Anandan.

I sold that too?

Alright, let's see what's over there.

That's a public road, sir.

- Public road? - Yes, sir.

Do I have anything left?

Dear, I've woven two baskets and I'm almost done with the third.

What about you?

Take it easy, Papamma. I'm still learning.

But I'm already a quarter done.

- Shiva… Shivalingam. - What is it, Mom?

- Get up. - Why, Mom?

- Just get up. - Why?

Don't ask why, or I'll slap you.

- Come quietly. - Alright, mom.

Ma… where's my brother?

He's gone to work.

He left without his slippers?

Dear, where are you going?

Don't go there.

What is this?

You filled my head with dreams of becoming Chief Minister

and then ghost me like this?

When the kitten is all charged up, how can the leopard take a nap?

- Come on, let's go - My mom will kill me.

I'll handle her. Let's go

What's going on?

Ma, when I came here with nothing,

who took me in and believed in me?

It was my brother.

Who do you think showed me how to sit in a car and wear a suit?

It was my brother.

When my marriage was falling apart,

who brought us back together?

It was my brother!

I grew up without a mother, Ma.

I can call you two ‘Mom', and 'sister.'

Who do you think made that possible?

It was my brother.

My brother gave me everything, Ma...

and I've done nothing to repay him.

That guilt is eating me alive.

I'm going to take the Chief Minister's seat,

and make my brother the Finance Minister.

We're going to restore justice to this state.

Will you help me make this a reality?

Will you?

Brother, come on. Let's go.

I won't go unless Mom says yes.

Tell him, Ma!

Tell him, sister-in-law.

Please, Ma…

Ma, tell him it's okay.

- Tell my brother to come with me. - God bless you, son.

Hey, Sivalingam!

This isn't Gulkand Kumar.

He's the future Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu.

- Take him with you, son. - Hey, get the car.

You'll never become a millionaire weaving baskets.

Come, my dear brother.

I said that, but they never listened to me.

"Come on, comrade! Lend me your ear"

"We're going to start a new party And make it trend!"

"Shout the slogans! From now on, we are the big shots."

"Suggest a good name For our party, Kandha!"

"There are a hundred parties In our country already"

"Where do we find A name that sends shivers"?

"Since there is both Theism And Atheism here,"

"Mix them both and fix a name!"

Hey, I've got an idea!

- The religious party in our state is? - KTMK.

- Atheist Party? - TKMK.

We've got a name for our party.

ANMK.

- What's that? - Athiga Nathiga Munnetra Kazhagam.

"Religion vs. Atheist! ANMK!"

"We're going to rise above all ANMK!"

"Policies and principles You can get rid of them for a night"

"Our party flag What color is it going to be?"

"We've got flags With seven colors in it"

"What are we planning to do?"

Treasurer, our color is in our name itself.

Don't you get it?

Let's take saffron from the religion.

And let's take black from the atheists.

That's amazing!

Saffron and black.

Fantastic!

This combo's a blast!

"Let's hoist of flag And see it fly high"

"Everyone's going to be shocked Who cares? Let's rock!"

"Religion vs. Atheist! ANMK!"

"With saffron and black ANMK!"

Our symbol…

"A."

Your vote is to…

"A."

Our symbol…

- "A." - Your vote is to…

"We've started a party!"

"Now we've got a flag and a symbol"

"It's our rule It's our time now"

"This is a party Born from a drunk stupor"

"We've made "A" our symbol"

"Stand tall, Our time has come"

"With a walk of pride Come join us"

"Our Leader We're going to rule the state!"

"Religion vs. Atheist! ANMK!"

"With saffron and black ANMK!"

- With this, the song ends. - What about the funds?

What are you heavily thinking about there, Coordinator?

Worried about the elections?

The ex-ruling party knows how to bribe the public.

As for the ruling party, it's obvious.

They are the pioneers.

Now that we're a new party,

we'll get caught red handed

even if we make a transaction above a lakh, as per protocol.

Which is why I've saved you the trouble.

Listen carefully, guys. We've got orders from 'there.'

How much do you think you can bring in?

Five crores, tops.

Whoa, what a huge contribution!

I'd rather take this up with Nagarjuna.

Nagarjuna who?!

I meant the appalam factory owner.

Tell it to whoever you like!

But tell us what are you telling them?

My dear General Secretary and Treasurer…

Tamil Nadu consists of 234 constituencies.

Our party has 20 administrators.

If we split it into 11 seats each,

we'll become Ministers.

We'll choose our ardent supporters

and make them MLAs at our expense.

- I don't follow… - What is politics?

Doing what virtue forbids.

This isn't politics but poli'tricks'!

We invest 55 crores in it.

We cash it out in six months once it grows tenfold.

Huh?

Tenfold in six months?!

No business can give you instant growth!

- Syed? - Yes?

Can you sell away your leather factory in Ranipet?

We'd be on the roads! Remember, I got eight kids.

How can you say that being His child, you fool?

You sure we can cash it out in six months?

What six months?

We'll see a tremendous flow in three months!

Consider it sold!

11 seats and you'll become a minister.

- You'll get 10 MLAs under your control. - Consider it sold!

- Consider it sold! - Consider it sold!

- What do you say, Trichy? - Consider 300 buses sold!

- You, Namakkal? - It's a done deal.

- You, Ulundurpet? - It's already yours.

- You, Salem? - Mark it as sold.

- What about you, Chennai? - Selling off my seven colleges!

- And you, Panruti? - Selling my fruit orchard away.

And I, my betel nut grove.

I'll sell my shrimp farms.

And I, my halwa factory!

Sources indicate

that details about the candidates

may be officially released today.

This is Muthukumaran for Political News.

Tamil Nadu has been waiting for the day

Gulkand Kumar launches his party.

That day has come. History is about to be made.

Not only in Tamil Nadu, across India, when a party is launched,

they usually announce the flag first, then symbol, and finally the candidates.

But here, it's all happening in one place, on the same day.

With tight, military-style control, they ensured no one outside

knew who was in the car or who the candidates were.

Did you hear?

The party's flag has somehow been leaked.

- Well, it did create a buzz! - Yep, it did.

- Thank me, then. - What?!

Who's that, moving the chairs?

Who is that?

No one asked you to!

No one moved, sir.

Hey, you! Stop dragging the chairs!

- What are you doing?! - There aren't any chairs here.

Just keeping the crowd occupied till he comes.

And this is how you do it?

Blabbering nonsense.

I'll handle it. Go, sit down.

I wonder what he's going to do.

No, no!

Stand, all of you.

- Let's all take the oath. - [all] We swear!

We're starting a new party.

[all] We're starting a new party.

All our candidates are first-timers.

[all] All our candidates are first-timers.

No one can buy us!

[all] No one can buy us!

I pledge this on our symbol, golden star.

[all] I pledge this on our symbol, golden star.

Alright, you may take your seats.

Where is he?

Candidates, officials, everyone's here.

The supporters are here too.

The one we're expecting hasn't come yet.

- Hey, tell them about our schemes. - All are waiting eagerly.

- I'll announce it when he-- - I don't think he'd mind.

We'd lose support if not.

When I take office, Tamil Nadu's land, water, and forests

will be restored to their condition at the time of Independence.

Any establishments built on them

will be razed down immediately.

The government will gift houses

to people who create memes

that address social issues humorously.

Couples seeking divorce due to ego conflicts,

despite having children,

will be offered free counselling by the government.

And if they still insist on divorce,

they will be banished.

All the gym centres will permanently be closed.

When are you coming, Sir? Are you even coming?

A mother who doesn't name her child in Tamil…

will have her hair cut,

and the father will get a hundred lashes.

Since drug abuse has become a trend,

and banning alcohol is close to impossible,

we will permit and gift every household

a pint of alcohol for free.

Calm down, old man.

- How much did you give? - Two crores!

- Damn, so much? - Yeah.

You're such an idiot.

- Yeah? You lost it all! - NO!

My, look at how you're dancing! How many do you think you'll win?

- We'll win it all! - All as in?

- All constituencies, of course! - Give a number at least.

Five constituencies! And that'll make him our CM!

Remember Tamil Nadu has 234 constituencies, folks!

The moment everyone's waiting for, Golden Star Gulkand Kumar

is entering through a secret door due to people flocking!

Here he comes!

Everyone, welcome him!

[cheers continue]

Long live! Long live!

Long live! Long live!

- Upon hearing the news of his-- - Brother, live long!

The greatest! Please come.

Our leader!

Alright, you may calm down. I'm here.

Before I speak, I'd like you all to watch this AV.

He looks all prepared! What's happening?

Let's see what our star's got to show us!

Hi, greetings to all.

Gulkand is experiencing a loss of appetite.

He has digestion problems

and breathing problems too.

I would like to say,

he should give up the idea

of joining the politics.

Otherwise, his life will be in danger.

"Diagnose the disease trace its origin, seek the remedy,

and apply the treatment at the proper moment."

So please…

Let Gulkand rest.

You must be wondering why I'm doing this despite my word?

I have no other choice.

I've got another to show you.

- Vote for elandha pazham! - Vote for elandha pazham!

- Can I get some water? - Hush, my boy.

Why the formality?

You know we're your ardent supporters.

Check that out.

All nine votes will come to your party.

I make this promise!

Your water can's here. Pay up.

- Keep this in. - Okay.

Be patient, my boy.

- Andalamma? - Coming!

Play outside, boys.

Is this a fake calendar?

- Why is it printed on both sides? - Welcome! Welcome!

- How're you doing? - I'm good.

We've always been your supporters for generations!

But our party's only 30 years old?

Shut up, or we'll lose them.

Praise God, and honor our ancestors!

All nine votes will come to your party.

I make this promise!

I threw away my 200 crore salary just to serve the people.

Since the people have gotten greedy,

who will I serve?

Our system's broken.

When our politicians in power

are corrupted in the name of God and Earth,

we can't blame the people but it's pointless.

Many have impersonated me

and flicked crores of money and distributed too

stating they'd be made ministers of my party.

It was brought to my attention by my sleeper cell, Singaraj.

Why're you laughing?

Mandradiyar didn't tell you?

About what?

Remember the fake accident two days ago?

- Yeah… - I did it on his word!

I was behind the wheel, actually.

He made me swear not to tell it to you.

Remember the other day when masked thugs attacked your house?

- Yeah… - I was behind it, too!

I did that also on his word.

My hero must never be one with the crowd.

I see you as the next MGR!

I'm proud of you, Thangam!

Going straight is the short way.

I was asked to take the longer route by Mandradiyar.

Okay, sir.

I am in no way responsible for the people who lost their money.

By the time this AV ends, I would've left.

I'm on my way to the US to get treated.

Long live Tamil! Long live my fans!

Jai Hind.

I lost everything!

Move! Move! Move!

Move aside! Move!

- Out of the way! - What happened?

We lost our signal and lost track of what happened!

Can somebody fill us in?

I don't know why, but the arena's circled with ambulances.

Sir, can you tell us what happened?

You tell us, please!

One of the supporters had a heart attack.

Oh, no.

Oh God, all our money is gone.

They're running to save themselves!

They tricked us and took all our money.

- Catch them. - Don't spare them.

- Stop, damn it! - Catch them!

Saying the leader was starting a party.

The Treasurer, General Secretary and Coordinator

looted money from the public promising them posts in the cabinet!

We Stand With GoldenStar is being made viral.

They also brough actresses using his name,

and conducted a party filled with alcohol!

Sir, don't make false accusations without evidence!

See for yourself. They didn't just betray the leader.

They didn't just betray the leader.

- Hello? - It's Junior Mandradiyar.

Didn't I tell you not to sell the asset?

Gulkand betrayed me, my boy!

You've been dancing mischievously with a few women!

- Look at this mess now! - Hey… No…

Throw away your phones! They'll track us down!

- Run. - Gosh, I lost everything!

Now do you see why they're after us?

It's because of Mandradiyar.

Did you see their faces?

Junior Mandradiyar?

Why's he smoking? Did he learn that abroad?

I knew it was my grand-daughter.

My bloody father…

When a baby is born, its parents must raise it

with love until it grows up.

Only then will the baby have memories about its parents.

It will grow up to be affectionate. But what did you do?

Before I even grew up, you sent me abroad to study.

What do you think I did there?

After all, I'm from the "1000-acre zamin" family.

I didn't study and flew back home.

But when I came back, there was nothing left.

You…

- ate it all and burped it out. - Really?

I'll let it slide.

You even missed grandma's funeral.

My mom's dead?!

My mother is dead!

When's the funeral?

Hey, hey, stop!

She died long back and you're crying now?

Get up.

Don't torture your father anymore.

It's my 60th birthday.

Are we cutting a cake?

- I'm cutting, but not a cake. - Your son is over here.

I showed our shopping mall and got a girlfriend.

But you sold it, she left me, and now I'm all alone.

- Is this… your problem? - Stand up, man.

- Don't get angry, my son. - What? You need respect now?

Idiot grandpa!

Miss. Grand-daughter…

You grandpa is starving, wounded, and is running around town.

What else do you expect, egghead?

Stand up, loser!

I should've offered you when

the Nellaiyappar temple wanted an elephant.

Look at me, moron!

What are you going to do with that knife?

I'm going to butcher you!

Instead of a party alliance, you made romance alliance with that actress?

Just bear with Dad, my son.

Forgive me this once.

I'll just stab you once.

- You! - I'll kill you.

- Miss. Grand-daughter… - I'd just kill you and go to prison.

Alright. Wait… what?!

Tell me.

Now do you understand?

None of your problems were because of us.

Yeah, I know.

It's all because of the men I trusted.

Also, our leader asked me to share two pieces of good news with you.

Number one.

Honoring your achievements,

the government's organizing an appreciation ceremony.

A felicitation.

- I'll think about it. - The second's a happier news.

If you wish for it,

we'll make you the Rajya Sabha MP.

Sir wants to see you honoring that chair in Delhi.

I'll talk to you later.

Breaking news.

The Golden Star, who had gone abroad for treatment,

has posted on social media that he is in good health.

He announced that he has locked in directors

for the next ten years, until 2036.

KTMK's Singaraj from Kangeyam constituency becomes a minister.

I, Singaraj of Kangeyam…
