The trailer of popular Kollywood actor Dhanush’s much awaited movie Jagame Thandiram was released on Tuesday. The Karthik Subbaraj directorial stars actors Dhanush and Aishwarya Lekshmi in the lead and features actor James Cosmo as the antagonist. While all the posters and the teaser which was released earlier highlighted the comical side of Suruli, played by Dhanush, the trailer turns the spotlight on the gangster in him. 

The trailer opens with lines from Hollywood actor James Cosmo, who is making his debut in the Indian film industry with Jagame Thandhiram. He is seen as a London-based mafia boss, who challenges Suruli. The trailer hints that the plot is likely to focus on immigration issues. From violence and vengeance to innocence and fun, Suruli seems to be a character who has many shades. Meanwhile, Aishwarya Lekshmi is seen as a singer, who performs at a hotel/ bar. 

Sharing the trailer with fans on Monday, director Karthik Subbaraj wrote, “Here's #JagameThandhiramTrailer !!(sic),” the tweet read. Actor Dhanush also shared the trailer with fans and wrote, “What would have been a great theatrical experience coming to Netflix. Nevertheless hope you all enjoy jagame thandhiram and suruli.”  Earlier the makers had released a romantic single from the album titled 'Nethu'. Sung by Dhanush, the melodious track featured visuals from a date between Suruli and Attila (played by Aishwarya Lekshmi).
