Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], September 21 : The trailer of Dhanush's upcoming film 'Idli Kadai' has finally been released, giving fans a glimpse into what they can expect from the actor's fourth directorial venture.
The film follows Murugan (played by Dhanush), a young man passionate about building a career in hotel management. However, his dreams create a rift with his father, who runs a humble idli shack beloved by the community. When betrayal strikes, Murugan is forced to return home and defend the family's legacy.
The two-minute trailer opens with Murugan asking his father to buy an idli grinder to make the work easier. But his father, rooted in tradition, refuses, believing the taste would not be the same. This clash between tradition and change forms the emotional core of the story.
