The 2-minute-51-second trailer introduces Vijay as Gandhi, a seasoned hostage negotiator, field agent, and spy with an impressive record of 68 successful missions. Dubbed “The GOAT of SATS” by Prashanth’s character, Vijay’s portrayal of Gandhi is layered with intensity and intrigue. The trailer hints at the complex nature of his character, as Gandhi’s pregnant wife, Sneha, suspects him of infidelity, while he appears to be living a carefree, drunken life.

The plot thickens when the family heads to Bangkok, and chaos ensues. The trailer takes an unexpected turn when a younger version of Vijay warns the older Gandhi, “No father, you’re in danger,” adding a layer of mystery and suspense. Even more surprising is a brief glimpse of an even younger Vijay, leading fans to speculate about a possible triple role.

The GOAT, which also stars Prabhu Deva, Jayaram, Ajmal Ameer, Mohan, and others, is set for a September release and is already shaping up to be a blockbuster.
