The film Thangalaan, starring Chiyaan Vikram in the lead role, is an action-adventure set against the backdrop of the Kolar Gold Fields during the British Raj era. The story follows an English general who seeks a hidden treasure buried deep within the mines, enlisting the help of a tribal leader.

In Thangalaan, Chiyaan Vikram plays five different roles, showcasing his versatility as an actor. The film also features an ensemble cast, including Daniel Caltagirone, Pasupathy, Parvathy Thiruvothu, Malavika Mohanan, Hari Krishnan, and many others in pivotal roles.
