Based on the inspiring true story of Arjuna Award-winning kabaddi player Manathi Ganesan, this sports drama follows the journey of Kittan, a young athlete from a marginalized community. Kittan is determined to rise through the ranks and represent the Indian National Kabaddi team, but he must first battle systemic caste-based discrimination and social barriers. Directed by Mari Selvaraj, the film captures the raw intensity of the sport while delivering a powerful social message about justice and equality. It is a compelling narrative of athletic grit, personal sacrifice, and the fight to overcome historical prejudices through sheer talent and determination.
