Vijay Antony is a trickster who uses his shrewdness for vigilantism but ends up as a wanted criminal in the trailer for his 25th film, Shakthi Thirumagan. The trailer for the neo-political drama was unveiled by the makers on Monday.
The trailer introduces us to a younger version of Vijay Antony's character who is taught about the realities of politics by his grandfather. We then see politicians, businessmen and even goons in search of Vijay Antony's character, who is described as a criminal on the run who has evaded capture from everybody. We are then shown Vijay Antony, who seems to have taken law and justice into his own hands and is seen using his sharp wit to cheat leading politicians and bureaucrats.
Shakthi Thirumagan, directed by Arun Prabu, also stars Trupthi Ravindra, Sunil Kriplani, Vaagai Chandrasekar, Master Keshav, and Cell Murugan. It also marks the return of actor Kannan, best known for his role in director Bharathiraja's 1982 film Kadhal Oviyam.
Apart from lead actor, Vijay Antony is the music composer for the film and has also produced it under his banner. On the technical front, Shakthi Thirumagan has cinematography by Shelley Calist and editing by Raymond Derrick Crasta, both of whom reunite with director Arun after 2021's Vaazhl.
While the film was initially slated to hit theatres on September 5, it has now been postponed to September 19, coinciding with Kavin's Kiss. It is worth noting that the upcoming film was earlier titled Parasakthi. The makers changed it to avoid legal troubles with Dawn Pictures, the producer of Sivakarthikeyan and Sudha Kongara’s Parasakthi.
