The original movie, starring Karthi in the lead and helmed by Lokesh Kanagaraj, is set in one night, when a recently released prisoner drives poisoned policemen to a hospital while evading criminals, in exchange for meeting his daughter who was waiting at an orphanage.

The movie was the first film in the Lokesh Cinematic Universe that then continued with "Vikram" and "Leo".

Meanwhile, the Malaysian version, which co-stars Rosyam Nor, Afdin Shauki, and Fadhli Masoot, is set to be released on 6 November.
