The clip has offered the viewers a glimpse of Naidu's journey from a determined young inventor to a pioneering industrialist who challenged both convention and authority. The trailer was launched at a special event held at Kari Motor Speedway in Coimbatore, the hometown of G.D. Naidu, who is often referred to as the "Edison of India."
The nearly three-minute trailer opens with speculation surrounding Naidu's later years before shifting to his emergence as a visionary who built a successful transport network and a polytechnic institution.
As his influence grows, so does opposition from those in power. The trailer showcases allegations of tax evasion, fabricated charges and accusations of treason, while portraying Naidu as a man determined to fight injustice despite several obstacles.
