The awaited trailer of Idli Kadai, Dhanush’s fourth directorial venture, was unveiled at a grand launch event held at Prozone Mall, Coimbatore. The film not only sees Dhanush in the director’s chair but also features him in the lead role, supported by an impressive ensemble cast including Nithya Menen, Arun Vijay, Rajkiran, Sathyaraj, Shalini Pandey, Parthiban, and Geetha Kailasam.
Putting an end to speculation, the trailer confirms that Dhanush plays a single character and not a double role as previously rumored. The film appears to be a heartwarming entertainer, carrying a poignant message about staying grounded and remembering one’s roots, no matter how far one travels in life.
Idli Kadai follows the journey of Murugan (played by Dhanush), the son of humble parents (Rajkiran and Geetha Kailasam) who run a small but iconic idli shop in their village. The shop isn’t just a livelihood, it’s the very identity of their community. Murugan, with his exceptional culinary skills, makes it big on the international stage as a chef. However, the emotional pull of his roots draws him back to his native village, where he sets out to revive and run his father’s eatery, continuing the family legacy.
The trailer hints at the emotional and dramatic conflicts that arise, particularly involving Murugan’s former mentor and his family – played by Sathyaraj and Arun Vijay. The tension between ambition, loyalty, and legacy forms the crux of the story, promising a compelling narrative.
Backed by a strong cast, Idli Kadai is shaping up to be a wholesome cinematic experience. The trailer has already generated significant buzz, with GV Prakash’s soundtrack adding to the excitement. With all the right ingredients in place, Idli Kadai is set for a massive worldwide release in both Tamil and Telugu on October 1st. Fans and film lovers alike are eagerly awaiting this heartfelt tale of food, family, and finding one’s way back home.
