Gandhi Talks Trailer: Will Vijay Sethupathi, Aditi Rao Hydari’s Silent Film Recreate Magic Of Kamal Haasan’s Pushpak Vimana?

The makers of Gandhi Talks have finally unveiled the trailer of their ambitious multilingual film, headlined by Vijay Sethupathi, Arvind Swami, Aditi Rao Hydari, and Siddharth Jadhav, just days ahead of its theatrical release on January 30. And what’s already setting the film apart is its bold narrative choice - that of silence. The official synopsis of the film reads, “Not every story needs words. Some are meant to be felt. This time, the screen doesn't talk. It makes you listen.”Modeled on the legacy of Kamal Haasan’s iconic 1987 silent classic Pushpak Vimana, Gandhi Talks attempts to revive a cinematic language that relies not on dialogue, but on expressions, visuals, and music to communicate emotion and meaning. In an era dominated by loud

sound design and dialogue-heavy storytelling, the film’s quiet approach has sparked significant curiosity and discussion across social media.

Gandhi Talks Trailer

The trailer introduces three central characters whose lives appear deeply intertwined, yet shaped by vastly different circumstances. Vijay Sethupathi plays a man struggling with poverty, living with his mother and navigating a life defined by hardship and survival. In stark contrast, Arvind Swami portrays a successful civil engineer responsible for towering skyscrapers - yet his seemingly perfect world is shaken by an unexpected tragedy that threatens to dismantle everything he has built.

Aditi Rao Hydari plays the love interest for Vijay Sethupathi. Her character is shown to be seemingly caught between love, ambition, and the brutal realities modern world. Siddharth Jadhav is also shown in the trailer though his role is kept deliberately ambiguous. The visual storytelling etched around all three characters hints at a world where individual lives collide with larger socio-political and industrial forces, veering towards an emotionally charged climax.

Fans have positively reacted to the trailer with many praising the use of BGM over dialogues in the film. One user commented, "Bgm speaks when a r rahman is there as music director," while a second shared, "Versatile actors from Marathi, Tamil, telugu malayalam together. INDIA SHOULD MAKE SUCH KIND OF FILMS TAKING ACTORS AROUND THE EVERY CORNER OF OUR COUNTRY." A third person wrote, "Choice of actors for this SILENT movie is mind blowing !!! THEY CAN DO IT."

Gandhi Talks Trailer Finale

The closing montage of the trailer is perhaps the most striking showing visuals of BR Ambedkar, Mahatma Gandhi, and Bhagat Singh. In all probability Vijay Sethupathi’s film may carry a deeper political or philosophical subtext. Gandhi Talks will perhaps be using silence not just as an experiment but a thematic statement on power, resistance, and societal change.
