Thalaivettiyaan Paalayam trailer

The trailer shows Abishek playing Sidharth, a young engineering graduate from Chennai appointed the Panchayat Secretary of the isolated village, Thalaivettiyaan Paalayam. After he begrudgingly accepts the position and moves to the town, it’s clear that the area is anything but developed.

There’s a female chairperson on paper, but it’s her husband who’s in control of the village’s affairs. He struggles in his interactions with the couple and the lack of entertainment or companionship in the village. The trailer is light-hearted in the way it shows various comical situations he finds himself in while dealing with the power dynamics there.
