Dhanush’s much-awaited film, Idli Kadai, has finally dropped its trailer, and it promises to be a heartwarming drama that mixes family, tradition, and a love for food. Released in Coimbatore on Saturday evening, the trailer introduces us to a fascinating story of a man caught between family loyalty and modernity. The movie features a stellar cast, including Nithya Menen, Arun Vijay, Shalini Pandey, and more.
In the trailer, Dhanush plays Murugan, who wants to modernize his family’s traditional idli stall. His father, however, prefers the old ways grinding batter by hand. Murugan proposes using a grinder to speed up the process, but his father is reluctant, fearing it will compromise the taste. Murugan’s journey takes him away from the family business into hotel management, but tensions rise when he’s shortchanged by his boss, Ashwin (Arun Vijay). Will Murugan return to save his family’s legacy?
At the film’s audio launch, Dhanush shared a touching personal anecdote about his childhood. He revealed that the film’s title was inspired by his love for idlis when he was young. As a child, he couldn’t afford idlis every day, so he and his siblings would collect flowers from the neighborhood to earn money. They would wake up early, collecting flowers for over two hours just to buy the small joy of idlis. Dhanush expressed that the satisfaction of eating those idlis back then was far greater than the ones he can afford today.
