Description:
Asuran is a Tamil social action drama directed by Vetrimaaran, adapted from the novel Vekkai by Poomani. Set in rural Tamil Nadu, it follows Velu Naidu, a fearless farmer whose quiet life is upended by caste violence and a ruthless landlord. The film charts a father’s fierce protection of his family, the moral costs of resistance, and a brutal clash that exposes the cycles of vengeance in a deeply stratified society. Dhanush anchors the film with a raw, transformative performance while a strong ensemble lends grit and heart.
