Vijay and Venkat Prabhu

In a recent promotional interview, the director revealed that the film will have an absolutely pacy screenplay that audiences of all age groups will enjoy. He said, “I think I have already mentioned the genre of the film in the trailer itself, but it seems many viewers haven't been able to decode it. The GOAT is going to be a film that everyone can understand, regardless of their age. It does not have a confusing plot. But the catch is, you won't be able to predict what happens next while watching the film. I challenge you—you won't be able to predict the next scene.”

He added that, unlike Mankatha, where he didn't delve deeply into emotional aspects, The GOAT focuses more on the protagonist’s character, who is a family man. The film centers around an incident that forms the crux of the story. “The film is based on Vijay’s character, Gandhi. It's based on a major episode in his life, and all I can say is, it's going to be epic,” the director revealed.
