Star tells the story of Kalai, played by Kavin. Kalai hails from a working-class background but dreams of making it big in the Tamil film industry. His dreams are supported by his father, while his mother constantly pressures him to get a job. Kalai seems to have enjoyed a lot of fame and popularity within the safety of his college. However, when he steps into the real world, the reality is very different. The cut-throat competition, fewer opportunities, and his personal social status all come in the way of his dream. Kalai finally seems to realize that dreams are not easy to achieve. It takes perseverance and uncompromising grit in the face of constant insults and failures.
Elan revealed that Star was inspired by the struggles of his father, Pandian. He noted that his father's dreams of making it big as an actor were never fulfilled, and he ended up making a living as a still photographer. While the film received mixed reactions, Kavin garnered unanimous praise for his performance. The movie also stars Lal, Aaditi Pohankar, Preity Mukhundhan, and Geetha Kailasam.
