'Irumbu Kai Mayavi' plot and production timeline
The plot of Irumbu Kai Mayavi revolves around a hero who meets with a serious accident and loses one of his hands. A strong metal hand replaces it, giving him extraordinary strength. This concept has been in Kanagaraj's mind for many years and is now seemingly ready to go on floors with Arjun in the lead role. The shooting is likely to begin in the second half of 2026 after Arjun completes his current commitments.
