The GOAT Trailer OUT: Thalapathy Vijay shines in Dual Roles as Father and Son in a Time-Travel Saga

The GOAT Trailer OUT: Venkat Prabhu unveiled the trailer for The GOAT (Greatest Of All Time), starring Vijay in a thrilling dual role. The trailer, released on Saturday, gives a glimpse into the high-octane action and drama the film promises, with Vijay portraying both father and son.

Action-Packed The GOAT Trailer

The 2-minute-51-second trailer introduces Vijay as Gandhi, a highly skilled hostage negotiator, field agent, and spy with a record of 68 successful operations. His character is hailed as “The GOAT of SATS,” by Prashanth’s character. Gandhi’s personal life seems complicated, with his pregnant wife, Sneha, suspecting him of infidelity, while he appears to be indulging in a carefree, drunken lifestyle.

The plot thickens when Gandhi takes his family to Bangkok, leading to a series of chaotic events. The trailer teases viewers with a younger version of Vijay warning the older Vijay, “No father, you’re in danger,” and even hints at the presence of an even younger version of the actor.

Sharing the trailer on X (formerly Twitter), director Venkat Prabhu excitedly wrote, “Presenting my hero THE
@actorvijay na the way you have been longing to see for ages! Here is #TheGoatTrailer like never before 🔥🔥”
