In the trailer of Gautham Vasudev Menon's 'The Life Of Muthu' (titled 'Vendhu Thanindhathu Kaadu' in Tamil), the cuts are not rapid. The narrator is not hurrying through. The film tells the story of a youngster whose rags-to-riches story is about the game of killing or dying.

"For others, it is a life. For him, it is just a game," the female voice-over says as montages of the trailer invite the viewer to expect a mercurial drama. The love track between Simbu and Siddhi Idnani is about an emotional roller-coaster; it is no joyride for either.

When 'Life of Muthu' hits the screens on September 17, we will know how the first part is going to end and in what way it is going to be an open-ended climax.

Radhika Sarathkumar will be seen as Muthu's mother, while Siddique, Neeraj Madhav, and Aangelina Abraham have other roles.

With music by AR Rahman, the film is written by Jeyamohan. With cinematography handled by Siddhartha Nuni, the film has Production Design by Rajeevan.
