These are the same old stories

Already made in to movies

And they are all dead

I want to know about

a gangster who is in on the rise...

...need to meet him, personally,

watch him closely, and then write a script

You expect them to write an autobiography

and place it in the library

Why are you wasting my time?

You are an experienced reporter

You should be knowing someone

I just cover politics and Lankan issue

Both are one and the same

During your days...

...the 'Cat eyed Actress'

was Madhuri, right?

All the gangsters life

has the same template

They will kill someone and take his place

In turn someone else

will kill him and takes his

How long are you gonna

make the same sort of movies?

There is a guy, like

never seen in any movie

- An outlaw in Madurai

- Rowdy in Madurai?

Great! Who is that?

His name is...

3 years ago, 4 murders were happen

in the fruit market at Madurai

- I heard of him, sir!

- He is the first accused in that

young, should be in his late thirties

Unable to retrieve his name

Don't worry

I will get you the case file

Don't ever use his name

He will find and kill you

He is a psychopath

His name is Sethu

'Assault' Sethu

What's your name?

'Hidden Tiger'

Hey, there is an article about him

Shocking revelation!

That was written by uncle's friend

Right! He is writing it in his

pen name as 'Hidden Tiger'

Even he writes it spying on him

I can get you his contact details,

but you gotta be careful

You are the one, right?

You could have published

my photo, right?

Instead you drew a cartoon

How many of them

would have laughed at it?

Do I look funny?

Till now it was working

Anyone else got a light?

That's why snatched this

Do you?

Even if he has, it would

be wet by now

Hey, get the tools

Brother, I'll kill him

Why are you in such a hurry to kill?

You have not been around that long,

first watch and learn

- One step at a time

- Okay, brother

Thank God!

All that petrol would be wasted

'Sleeping Truth' by 'Hidden Tiger'

Truth hurts, do you know that?

Especially the truth of peeping

into my house will hurt like hell

Hey he may be a psycho

Not may be, he is actually a psycho

I am going to Madurai and

making a movie on Sethu's life

All the Madurai talk strikes a bell

on someone in our college

'Oorni'

Stop

That lady is my customer

That white shirt man

is my customer

That blue T-Shirt guy,

he's my customer

Look! He is staring at me

Move aside

He is mine, move along

I said I don't need an auto

Give back my bag

Just shut up and come with me

Brother is waiting for you

Hello, I think you have mistaken me

Shut up and come

Just give me my bag

I'll leave
