After the high of Mersal’s (2017) success, ‘Ilaya Thalapathy’ (young leader) Vijay is back with Sarkar this year, which he promises will be a politically loaded film. Director A R Murugadoss joins him for the third time, after Thuppakki (2012) and Kaththi (2014), both of which were blockbusters. In fact, Thuppakki was a sort of comeback for Vijay.
Whether the combo will hit a hattrick is to be seen in December. For now, here’s the trailer, amped up by A R Rahman’s music.
Sarkar reportedly stars Vijay in the role of a vigilante. It also stars Papri Ghosh, Prem Kumar, Yogi Babu and Radha Ravi among others. It’s set to hit the screens on 6 November.
