What happens

Mahaan (transl. The Great One) is a 2022 Indian Tamil-language gangster action thriller film directed by Karthik Subbaraj and produced by S. S. Lalit Kumar under Seven Screen Studio. It stars Vikram and Dhruv Vikram, alongside Simran, Bobby Simha, Sananth, Vettai Muthukumar, Deepak Paramesh and Aadukalam Naren. The film revolves around Gandhi Mahaan's journey from a commerce teacher to a liquor baron, but his journey takes a twist when his son Dadabhai Naoroiji, an extremist Gandhian, vows revenge on Gandhi Mahaan for violating the Gandhian principles and abandoning his family. The film was announced on 1 June 2020 under the working title Chiyaan 60, marking Vikram's 60th film as a leading actor. The official title, Mahaan, was revealed on 20 August 2021. The music was composed by Santhosh Narayanan, with cinematography and editing being handled by Shreyaas Krishna and Vivek Harshan. Principal photography began on 10 March 2021 but was halted due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Filming resumed on 6 July 2021 and wrapped up on 14 August 2021. Due to the delays of the film, a few incomplete scenes were cut from the final runtime of 3 hours, which were later released on the 100th day of release. Mahaan premiered directly on Amazon Prime Video on 10 February 2022. It received generally positive reviews from critics. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
