Vennila Kabaddi Kuzhu 2

A poor goat herder from Kanakkanpatti who lost his formal education after his father’s death. He is a gifted kabaddi player whose passion and grit drive the village team forward. Throughout the film, he embodies resilience, leadership, and the personal cost of chasing a dream. His arc ends in tragedy after a devastating collision during the finals, leaving his fate ambiguously implied to spare his love interest’s pain.

A rich, short-tempered rice mill owner who serves as the team’s captain. His authority clashes with the rest of the group, yet his investment in the team’s success grounds the village’s aspirations. His ego and leadership style create tension, but his loyalty to the squad ultimately reinforces their unity.

A short tea shop owner who often bears the brunt of jokes from his mother-in-law. His humor and practical outlook provide comic relief, while his practical sense helps the team navigate local challenges. He remains a steadfast, if sometimes reluctant, teammate who contributes to the squad’s morale.

A newlywed with three distinct hobbies—eating, playing kabaddi, and intimacy. His light-hearted, easygoing nature contrasts with the team’s more serious moments, offering moments of levity while also highlighting personal ambitions and dynamics within the squad.

A fat local store owner who is the son of an ex-army man. His size and strength become an asset on the kabaddi court, and his practical street-smarts help the team navigate pressure from opponents and bettors alike.

The love interest who becomes a catalyst for Marimuthu’s personal arc. Their budding connection forms a counterpoint to the team’s competitive drive, and her presence underscores the human costs of pursuing a dream.

A coach from the state’s top kabaddi team who initially coaches the city’s Paper Mills team but then moves to train Vennila. His rigorous coaching style and experience push the underdog squad to outperform expectations and navigate competitive politics within the sport.
