The film is directed by AR Murugadoss and stars Vijay and Kajal Aggarwal in the lead roles. It is a grand budget project and has already created a buzz in the market following a case in the court, which hindered film's promotional activity since its first look came out.

According to AR Murugadoss, the film is the most challenging film in his carrier so far. "I've brought my maximum strength to extract Vijay says ARM," at the press meet.


The first trailer of Vijay's Thuppakki was released earlier at the audio launch function of the movie at Sheraton Park Hotel, Chennai. The 41-second video-clip is short, sleek and punchy.

As promised, the Thuppakki trailer has lived up to the expectations of the Vijay fans. In the video, Vijay speaks lesser than the bullets that he shoots at his enemies. In fact, he mouths only one dialogue, "I am waiting," in the end.

The trailer showcases the action factor in Thuppakki. Vijay's action sequences is the highlight of the video and Kajal Aggarwal makes a brief appearance in the initial part of the clip.
