The storyline of Kavin’s Star
As mentioned earlier, Star follows the story of a youngster, Kalai, and his aspirations of becoming a ‘Star’ in the Tamil Film Industry. The film attempts to connect to a side of the audience that has somewhere at some time, dreamt of becoming an actor or a star.Â
Born in a lower-middle-class family, will Kalai overcome all his struggles to emerge as a Star? This forms the basic crux of the film.
In many interviews, Kavin has stated that although the film isn’t about one particular actor, it is an amalgamation of the journeys of various stars. He also revealed that some of the scenes in the film happened to Thalapathy Vijay during his struggling days.

The man behind the vision of Star is writer-director Elan, who previously directed Pyaar Prema Kaadhal. Actor Harish Kalyan was initially supposed to play Kavin’s role in Star and the first-look posters were released too, however, the project later went to Kavin.
