The trailer for The GOAT (Greatest Of All Time), starring Vijay in a dual role, has set the internet abuzz with excitement. Released on Saturday, the trailer offers a glimpse into the action-packed time-travel saga directed by Venkat Prabhu. The film, which will be released in Tamil, Telugu, and Hindi, showcases Vijay portraying both a father and a son, adding an intriguing twist to the storyline.
The 2-minute-51-second trailer introduces Vijay’s character as a skilled hostage negotiator, field agent, and spy who has successfully completed 68 operations. Prashanth’s character even refers to him as “The GOAT of SATS.” Vijay’s character, named Gandhi, is seen dealing with suspicions from his pregnant wife, Sneha, who fears he might be having an affair. However, the trailer shows that things are far more complex, especially when the family’s trip to Bangkok takes a dangerous turn.
A pivotal moment in the trailer reveals a younger version of Vijay warning an older version, saying, “No father, you’re in danger.” This moment hints at a fascinating time-travel element, with even a third, much younger version of Vijay appearing on screen. Sharing the trailer on X (formerly Twitter), director Venkat Prabhu wrote, “Presenting my hero THE @actorvijay na the way you have been longing to see for ages! Here is #TheGoatTrailer like never before.”
Since the trailer’s release, fans have been quick to dissect and discuss every detail, with some speculating that Vijay might be playing a triple role in the film. One fan highlighted the surprise reveal of the youngest version of Vijay, tweeting, “No one. I bet no one expected this. Solid surprise from @vp_offl. A WOW moment in the trailer! #TheGreatestOfAllTime.” There has also been buzz about a potential MS Dhoni reference within the trailer, further fueling excitement.
The GOAT boasts an ensemble cast that includes Prabhu Deva, Jayaram, Ajmal Ameer, Mohan, Laila, Vaibhav, Yogi Babu, Premgi Amaren, and Yugendran. With its release slated for September this year, the film is already shaping up to be one of the most anticipated releases of 2024.
