Nayanthara plays Anjali Vikramadithyan, a CBI officer, sets out to track down a serial killer who the police claim to have killed years ago. However, the chase becomes personal for her as the criminal begins challenging and targeting her family members.
Talking about her character, director Ajay Gnanamuthu told Firstpost: “Initially, I had planned the film with two heroes. The whole revenge angle with a hero would’ve been very convenient, but it worked because it featured a heroine. On an emotional level, the revenge angle worked and that’s why the response has been phenomenal.”
Last seen in Bigil opposite Vijay, Nayanthara is currently awaiting the release of Rajnikanth's cop-drama Darbar.
