Spoilers ahead
Shakti, Vijay, is the adopted son of the Madurai crime boss Sivan and serves as his right-hand man, bodyguard, and driver. Sivan lives with his wife Parvati, their son Vignesh, and their daughter Mahalakshmi. Shakti harbors a deep hatred for the police, a feeling rooted in a childhood trauma when a police officer killed his father, who happened to work as a driver for Sivan. This anger is so intense that he loathes the khaki color worn by officers, and he keeps even Sivan’s watchman from wearing a khaki uniform. He teases his friend Gopal, Soori, and his romantic life takes a hit when Shanthi, Kajal Agarwal, is an Inspector.
