Rebel

The trailer for "Rebel," featuring musician-turned-actor GV Prakash Kumar, has been released. Following the trend of Tamil-Malayalam bilingual movies like "Manjummel Boys," "Rebel" aims to cater to audiences from both states.

Set in a fictional college in Kerala, the film revolves around a Tamil student who faces bullying and oppression from a local political group. While "Manjummel Boys" celebrated the camaraderie between Tamil Nadu and Kerala, "Rebel" walks a fine line, addressing the harassment faced by Tamils in Kerala.

The trailer initially focuses on the romance between GV Prakash and his college mate, portrayed by Mamitha Baiju, but later shifts to a more intense tone. The protagonist confronts a local political party opposed to his relationship and presence in the college. True to its title, the film portrays the hero's rebellion against his oppressors in their own territory.

GV Prakash shared the trailer on social media, stating that the film is inspired by a real incident. He also praised the director as a powerful voice in Tamil cinema, calling attention to the authenticity of the narrative.
