The GOAT synopsis out? Here is what Vijay and Venkat Prabhu’s film all about

All eyes are set on actor Vijay's next film, The GOAT- Greatest of All Time, which is set to release in less than a month. Now, ahead of the film's release, the plot of the film has been going viral on social media. Touted to be a sci-fi action thriller, The GOAT is written and directed by filmmaker Venkat Prabhu.

The GOAT plot

As per many social media handles, the plot of The GOAT has been circulated. "The shadows of an unknown past resurface, destabilizing a special anti-terrorist squad and shaking their trust as buried secrets come to light," reads the synopsis.

In The GOAT, Vijay is expected to make a dual appearance as his old and young selves. The makers have gone for a de-ageing look to make Vijay look younger. The thriller is also said to be inspired by the 2004 Moscow Metro bombing, after a suicide bomber detonated and took the lives of many. The film’s runtime is expected to be two hours and 30 minutes. However, an official announcement has not yet been made.

The GOAT is Vijay’s 68th outing as lead actor and is directed by filmmaker Venkat Prabhu in his first collaboration with the actor.
