Arjun's dual roles: A signature of Atlee's storytelling style

This was seen in his previous outings such as Mersal and Bigil where Thalapathy Vijay donned multiple hats, and Jawan, where Shah Rukh Khan played two completely different characters.
Although the concept is new, it will be laced with Atlee's signature touch, including powerful character introductions, high-octane action, and viability.
The plot will have political and dramatic influences, ensuring a gripping storyline.

On the other hand, Atlee's last film as a director was the blockbuster action thriller Jawan, headlined by Khan.
He also dabbled in production, recently producing Baby John, the Hindi remake of his 2016 Tamil hit Theri.
