The
much-awaited
Laabam
trailer,
is
finally
here.
Vijay
Sethupathi,
the
actor-producer
revealed
the
official
trailer
of
Laabam
through
his
official
social
media
pages,
recently.
The
highly
promising
official
trailer
hints
that
the
SP
Jhananathan
directorial
will
be
a
complete
social
thriller
that
will
focus
on
the
lives
of
the
farmers
from
rural
areas.
However,
the
factor
that
leaves
us
more
intrigued
about
Laabam
is
the
double
role
of
its
lead
actor,
Vijay
Sethupathi.
While
one
of
the
characters
is
introduced
as
a
dedicated
agriculturist
who
explains
the
market
and
Laabam
(profit)
in
detail,
the
other
character
is
just
shown
in
glimpses.
However,
Vijay
Sethupathi's
versatility
is
quite
evident
even
in
the
limited
screentime
of
the
second
character.
Laabam
trailer
also
introduces
us
to
the
characters
played
by
the
antagonist
Jagapati
Babu
and
Shruti
Haasan.
From
the
trailer,
it
is
evident
that
Jagapati
Babu
is
playing
a
ruthless
industrialist,
who
exploits
the
farmers.
Shruti
Haasan,
on
the
other
hand,
seems
to
be
playing
a
city-bred
girl
who
comes
to
the
village
with
a
mission.
Vijay
Sethupathi's
presence
and
the
visuals
are
the
biggest
pluses
of
the
trailer.
However,
the
background
score
should
have
been
a
bit
more
subtle.
Laabam
marks
Vijay
Sethupathi's
first
collaboration
with
SP
Jhananathan,
the
talented
filmmaker
who
rose
to
fame
with
the
Jayam
Ravi
starrer
Peranmai.
Shruti
Haasan
is
appearing
as
the
female
lead
in
the
movie,
thus
marking
her
first
onscreen
collaboration
with
Vijay
Sethupathi.
Kalaiyarasan,
Ramesh
Thilak,
Prithvi
Pandirajan,
and
Sai
Dhanshika,
and
so
on
appear
in
the
other
pivotal
roles.
D
Imman
has
composed
the
music
for
the
movie.
Ramji
is
the
director
of
photography.
N
Ganesh
Kumar
and
V
Selvakumar
have
handled
the
editing
and
art
direction,
respectively.
