The film’s official plot revolves around Thalapathy Vijay’s Vijay Rajendran, whose foster father passes away under mysterious circumstances. Vijay’s circumstances are altered, and he now finds himself in charge of a multi-billion-dollar corporate empire. Between this voyage and the one that followed, he is confronted with several sins and tragedies. How he tackles this new role, and the responsibilities that come with it forms the rest of the narrative.
