About the film

In Idli Kadai, Dhanush stars as Murugan, who ventures into his own business, away from his father's idli kadai (shack) that is much-loved by the locals. Things escalate, and Murugan has no other choice but to fight back when his father's business is threatened. The film was released in theatres on October 1, so its OTT release date arrives in less than a month since it hit theatres.

Dhanush directed the film and produced it under Wunderbar Studio with Aakash Bhaskaran of Dawn Pictures. GV Prakash has composed the film’s music.

At the audio launch of Idli Kadai, Dhanush claimed that the film’s title was inspired by his love for idlis in childhood. He said, “As a kid, I always craved idlis every single day, but I couldn’t afford them. Hence, we started collecting flowers from the neighbourhood. The money we get will be based on the amount of flowers we collect every day. My sister, cousins and I would wake up at 4 AM to do this for over two hours. We’d get a little over ₹2 each for the jobs.”
