Ace Trailer: Vijay Sethupathi’s ‘Bold’ Kannan Brings a Stylish Heist Comedy to Life

Vijay Sethupathi has returned with a bang in the newly released Ace trailer, setting the stage for an action-packed, stylish heist drama. The film, directed by Arumugakumar, marks their second team-up after Oru Nalla Naal Paathu Solren (2018). Packed with humour, thrill, and a dose of mystery, the trailer gives a solid glimpse of the world of Ace, which hits theatres on May 23.

‘Bold’ Kannan kicks off a wild game in Malaysia

Vijay Sethupathi plays a man who lands in Malaysia, trying to wipe out his past and take on a fresh identity. He calls himself Bold Kannan, a name that instantly sparks curiosity. When people ask about it, he gives playful answers—sometimes saying it’s about courage, other times joking that it means “Bolt,” like a flash of lightning. He uses this quirky charm to impress the female lead, played by Rukmini Vasanth. His mysterious nature and smooth confidence drive the story forward.

A fun mix of gambling, smuggling, and quick-witted twists

As the trailer picks up speed, it becomes clear that Kannan has more on his mind than just a fresh start. The scenes hint at secret operations, high-stakes gambling, and dangerous criminal dealings. Yogi Babu joins the chaos, offering comic relief while supporting Kannan on his journey. With stylish visuals and fast-paced transitions, the trailer promises a gripping and entertaining watch with a clever balance of humour and suspense.

Sivakarthikeyan surprise adds a fun twist

In an unexpected and humorous moment, the trailer ends with a reference to actor Sivakarthikeyan, adding a cheeky surprise for fans. Interestingly, Sivakarthikeyan himself unveiled the trailer online and praised it as a “sweet surprise.” His friendly nod to the film highlights the fun rivalry and mutual respect he shares with Vijay Sethupathi, both considered major stars in the Tamil film world.

A power-packed cast and crew boost this bold film

Ace features a strong lineup of actors including Yogi Babu, Rukmini Vasanth, Babloo Prithveeraj, BS Avinash, Muthu Kumar, and Raj Kumar. Denes Kumar, Alvin Martin, Priscilla Nair, and others also add depth to the cast. Director Arumugakumar produces the film under the 7CS Entertainment banner, ensuring a personal creative vision.

Justin Prabhakaran composes the songs while Sam CS takes charge of the intense background score. Karan Bahadur Rawat handles cinematography and Fenny Oliver sharpens the final cut through editing.

Ace heads to Prime Video after theatrical run

After its big-screen debut on May 23, Ace will begin streaming on Prime Video, making it accessible to audiences beyond theatres. With its striking visuals, witty characters, and high-energy story, Ace stands out as a unique and exciting addition to Tamil cinema.
