The trailer for Dhanush’s highly anticipated film, ‘Idli Kadai’, has been unveiled, offering a glimpse into a poignant tale of family, tradition, and resilience. Set in Coimbatore, the movie stars Dhanush in the lead role, alongside Nithya Menen, Arun Vijay, and Shalini Pandey.
The trailer begins by introducing Murugan (Dhanush), who requests his father to invest in an idli grinder to ease their labor. His father, deeply rooted in traditional methods, expresses skepticism about the authenticity of idlis made with machinery, hinting at the sentimental value attached to their humble idli stall.
Murugan’s journey sees him leaving the family business for hotel management, working under Ashwin (Arun Vijay). While his efforts lead to increased profits, his father laments his departure from their legacy. The plot thickens as Ashwin allegedly shortchanges Murugan, setting the stage for a conflict that threatens not only the family business but also Murugan’s principles.
‘Idli Kadai’ is written and directed by Dhanush, who also serves as a co-producer under Wunderbar Films. The film is slated for a theatrical release on October 1st and also features prominent actors like Sathyaraj, R Parthiban, Samuthirakani, and Rajkiran. GV Prakash has composed the film’s music. Notably, Dhanush revealed that the title was inspired by his childhood fondness for idlis, recalling how he and his siblings would collect flowers to earn money to buy them.
