Raththam trailer: Vijay Antony struggles to uncover a murder conspiracy

Raththam has been in the making for a long while. Its first teaser was released more than 9 months ago. After a comical announcement for Raththam’s trailer in which director-writer CS Amudhan is seen suffering from a heart attack, a complete glimpse of the investigative thriller is finally out. 

3 things you need to know: 

• Raththam translates to ‘Blood.’  
• It’s set for a September 28 release.
• The film has been written and directed by CS Amudhan. 

Raththam trailer shows a web of conspiracy 

The trailer for Raththam was shared by the Thalapathy 68 director Venkat Prabhu and the makers of the film. It teases a rather comic yet mysterious conspiracy that is based around a murder at a magazine publishing company in Chennai. Vijay Antony’s character is seen thinking and deliberating throughout the trailer while glimpses of a larger plot take place in the background.

At one point, Antony’s character says, “The thing in front of us is a small thread of a giant spider web. But there is no spider. What is behind that web, is a monster. We need to stop that monster immediately.” It clearly indicates that Antony aims to tackle the culprits no matter how high-up in the system they’re positioned. Moreover, it also shows a connection between the world of media, law and the judiciary, which makes the backbone of the film’s story.
