Set in the 90s era, the movie has Dhanush playing a lecturer named Balamurgan(Tamil)/ Bala Gangadhar Tilak (Telugu).

It can be understood from the promos of the story's plot as Balamurugan is a third-grade junior lecturer at Tirupati Educational Institute. He fights against corruption and other issues that exist in educational institutions which eventually impact the opportunities for growth that students who are economically challenged deserve, but are deprived of.

The film might probably be based on some real incident or event and could paint a picture of the educational reforms that our society has gone through in the recent past.

Samyuktha Menon plays his love interest. The film also has Sai Kumar, Tanikella Bharani, Samuthirakani, Aadukalam Naren, and Ilavarasu in important roles. The music was composed by G. V. Prakash Kumar while cinematography is done by Dinesh Krishnan and it is edited by Navin Nooli. The Tamilnadu theatrical rights of the movie are said to have been bagged by Red Giant Movies.

On the work front, Dhanush was last seen in Selvaraghavan's 'Naane Varuven'. He was seen playing dual roles as antagonist and protagonist. Though the film received a divided response, Dhanush's acting was flawless.

Before this, he had tasted massive success in 'Thiruchitrambalam'. He shared screen space with Nithya Menon, Prakash Raj, and ace director Bharathiraja. Dhanush is currently working on Arun Matheswaran's directorial, Captain Miller, a period drama.
