Baththa trailer out!

The trailer begins with the perception society has of Baththa (played by Vijay Sethupathi). Children listen to outrageous rumours of Baththa's courage with bated breath. One kid is heard telling another that Baththa once broke the ribs of someone who challenged him and walked away with the man tucked under his arm! Another talks about how he broke open the gates of a prison to escape. A third tells him that he has a lion for a pet!
