In one of the crucial moments in the trailer, Dhanush tells his young son that they can be robbed off their land but not their right for education. Going by the trailer, it can be assumed that Asuran might be Vetrimaaran’s most violent film yet. It features Dhanush in the role of a daily wage labourer who decides to fight for his right and equality.
