The storyline of Kavin’s Star
As mentioned earlier, Star follows the story of a youngster, Kalai, and his aspirations of becoming a ‘Star’ in the Tamil Film Industry. The film attempts to connect to a side of the audience that has somewhere at some time, dreamt of becoming an actor or a star.
Born in a lower-middle-class family, will Kalai overcome all his struggles to emerge as a Star? This forms the basic crux of the film.
In many interviews, Kavin has stated that although the film isn’t about one particular actor, it is an amalgamation of the journeys of various stars. He also revealed that some of the scenes in the film happened to Thalapathy Vijay during his struggling days.
