We enter the business taking a life,

and you have to pay with your life to get out

That's our profession

Should live like a King

With pride and honour

For that to happen,

do anything, kill anyone

That's not wrong

This is our policy

Any more questions?

About your Mom and Dad?

My dad died

in a mill accident

My sibling died

at a young age

One who is sitting there,

that's my Mom

She hates my business completely

She said she won't speak,

if I don't quit

She told that 12 years ago

Till now haven't spoken a word

My Mom right?

How do you expect then?

Anything else?

Out of all your criminal records,

Interesting fights,

kidnaps and murders

If you could elaborate, it will be easy

to be shoot as a scene in the movie

Which one we can say,

the bus stand incident

Which one?

The political issue for

which I was imprisoned

That one he had 4 cuts,

but still was alive

So we stomped him

by his neck

We had a lorry run over his body

The tall one we killed

in the market fight

You mean the love story?

- I gave a sharp blow

- Just one stroke he ran away

We get a big cut of our revenue

from settling issues

Sekar, tell yourself

where will we go?

Why did you arrange for this meeting,

what's the matter?

You are a big torture

Fear of the people

is the only investment in this

I'll slit you

just sit down

Everyone sit down please

Now tell me

what's the issue?

He is a drunkard and he has

an extra marital affair too

So I won't let my daughter

to live with him

Hey...stop

Every case we attend

has got a package

A package just to

make some noise

A package to hurt others

and a separate one to kill

If I go then it's 10 lakhs rupees

If it's Rasu 5 lakhs rupees

If it's Senthil 3 lakhs rupees

How can a woman

live with a drunkard?

Only a very few in this

world doesn't drink

But that doesn't mean

we have to divorce them

- Stop it

- Start a fight

- What did you say?

- Just shut up

Just stop it

Won't you listen you drunkard?

29, 30, 31, 32nd cut

can't be shown

This one is to hurt

and this one is to kill

Different weapon to kill

What is this?

- Development fund

- For which party?

For the winning party

- Chicken gravy...

- Eat well

How dare you pour

gravy on his hand?

Don't you know what to

speak and how to speak

Sethu bro, battery drained

Give me 5 minutes

He gave me a Korean

movie, amazing one

Don't you know what to

speak and how to speak

- Who is this?

- Has come from Madras

Here to shoot a movie about Sethu

So he is moving with us

About our Sethu!

All those fights and murders

- Yes

- Very good

Put your signature

- I won't even if I die

- Here...!

How long you will

threaten in the same way?

You have got pistol right?

As per company rules

shouldn't use pistols

Just to threaten him,

I have watched it in an English film

What they did in the movie?

Let fate decide

your chance... er

Let your fate decide how many

chances do you need to sign the papers

Let your fate decide how many

chances you get to sign the papers

You and your nonsense idea

He may die, if Sethu bro

knows this, it will be a mess

Get him quick

One day had a guy

caught by his neck,

Started cutting his

throat with a blade

The blood was shedding

like a fountain for 2 feet

Is it?

This guy will cut with a blade

and the bloodshed like a fountain

Who will believe this?

- You don't believe it

- No

You don't believe it!

Wanna watch it?

Just catch the neck

like this and-

With this blade-

- What happened?

- Horrible murder in my dreams

To show you

a demo they cut my neck

This is how you clapped

in my dream too

I could smell blood even

when I brush the teeth

Is it really important

to write a gangster story

Don't we have any other stories,

maybe on our freedom fighters

Brilliant script is ready

Just need to go

and meet the producer

Then we will fix

Vijay Sethupathi in the lead role

Then it's the shoot

Thank God

Leave the place

Who's knocking there

the back door at midnight?

- Go!

- You go and have a look

Kayal, why at this odd time?

You still remember my name

Why do you keep weeping?

You didn't bother to meet me

How many calls and SMS

Sorry I was busy at work

Leaving home tomorrow?

Is your work done?

This love was just an act

to know about Sethu, is it?

Tell me Karthik,

Did you use me?

Kayal...Kayal

You're right

Yes, I did use you as

a bait to get information

But I like you a lot Kayal

I don't want this

love, marriage...

No such ideas

Let's be friends

I loved you

I already have other friends

Just concentrate on your work

If you start falling for this love,

You will never make a movie

You'll only make it to

the theatre with your family

Guys, Sethu brother is calling you

What is the matter?

There is a small party

for your farewell

Party!

- Where?

- Come

Inside a well?

See this setup

How's the setup?

"I am the lion that creates an

impression of respect in its every form"

"Dare not to touch me"

"I am a raging bull"

"The city speaks of my name"

"My name, when spelt

Spreads an aura of strength"

You've just finished the first draft

Lets celebrate

No need

Drown the feelings and enjoy

Have it

Come on

"Ill hunt you down"

"Ill beat you straight"

"Every blow will echo through your life

That you shatter in every direction"

"Understand the strength

of my city united"

"Understand the strength of

punishment and violence"

Mom...?

"Spreads an aura of strength"

"The nook and corner

of the city respects me"

"Success finds me time and again"

"The respect and fear

for strength brings it to me"

"Even the mountains won't

reach farther than my fists"

"When I clench them even

the volcano calms down"

"Spreads an aura of strength"

"I am the lion that creates an

impression of respect in its every form"

"Spreads an aura of strength"

Karthi, you are gonna

direct my life as a movie

I am very happy

and excited today

How has it come?

Make sure the lead role

is played by big stars

Cast Super Star,

it'll be unbeatable

They won't even

let us near his street

Kamal Hasan will suit

this character

I am Okay!

But he should say okay right

Sister you tell who can

be in the lead role?

She knows a lot about

the movies, you suggest

Tell whom do you want to

act in the lead role?

Who will be apt for this story

Rajini, Kamal, Ajit or Vijay?

You choose, we'll bring them

If the story is about Sethu,

then why someone else should act?

He himself can act

He looks like a hero only

Don't be sarcastic Kayal

What's wrong in her comment?

Sethu has got all the features

He looks like our

old hero Jaychandran

Why are they laughing?

I am not sarcastic

Some Dick and Harry are acting,

Why can't you?

By doing this you

can become famous

Then this stardom will be

easy to get on to politics

Then all your criminal

cases can be dropped

We have to grow up quickly

to the next level

No one thought about it

Even I didnt think about it

What you say Karthik?
