Plot

Ravi Chandrasekharan (Dulquer Salman) is a young blogger who has keen interest in the life of KTN Kottur - a writer, poet and revolutionary freedom fighter. Ravi being involved actively in theatre and arts, expresses his wish to recreate the story of KTN Kottur on stage rather than make it a book. To explore the different shades and the mysteries surrounding the character, he arrives at Kottur to learn the intricacies of the person. The encounters and twists in the life of KTN Kottur (played by Dulquer) and the mystery surrounding his disappearance on the day India won her Independence makes up the story.
