Chennai, April 2 – The makers of director Umapathi Ramaiah's upcoming film 'TN 2026', starring Natty in the lead role, released an entertaining teaser of the political satire on Thursday, much to the delight of fans and film enthusiasts.
In a post on its X account, Kannan Ravi Groups, the production house behind the film, wrote: "Indha Varusham Nammadhaan (This year belongs to us!) #TN2026 teaser is out now. Not meant to hurt the feelings of anyone! #ThangaNatchathiram #TN2026FromApril10. Produced by #KannanRavi @KRGOffl. Co-produced by #DeepakRavi. A @umapathyramaiah film. A @DarbukaSiva musical."
The film's teaser opens with an announcement that popular star Thanga Natchathiram's Kulkanth Kumar (played by Natty), considered the number one star in the Tamil box office, has converted his fan club into a people's welfare association.
While the actor's move into politics excites his fans, it displeases rival parties and politicians. One politician (played by Redin Kingsley) asks during a rally: "Hey actor, this is Tamil Nadu. You can wish to live. That's okay. But if you intend to rule, isn't that wrong?"
The teaser shows Kulkanth Kumar's rise in politics. One of Kulkanth Kumar's supporters retorts to a journalist: "Why shouldn't we talk about politics? Don't actors know about politics?"
Overall, the teaser promises an engaging and entertaining political drama.
The film is scheduled to be released on April 10 this year.
