Story/ Summary
AK (Ajith Kumar), once a feared gangster known as Red Dragon in Mumbai’s underworld, chooses to leave his violent past behind after marrying Ramya (Trisha Krishnan) and becoming a father to a baby boy, Vihaan. He builds a peaceful life, far from crime, embracing the role of a loving husband and a responsible father.
But peace doesn’t last long.
When an old enemy resurfaces and targets his family, AK is forced to pick up arms once again. The once-cold gangster now fights with purpose: to protect his son and the life he fought to build.
As the story unfolds, AK battles a dark network of enemies, rival gangs, and his own haunted past. The narrative swings between brutal action, emotional flashbacks, and moments of father-son bonding. Each step takes him deeper into the chaos he once escaped challenging him to find a balance between being good, bad, and ugly when the situation demands.
