He learns of a legend – the former "King of Kotha," Rajendran alias Raju (Dulquer Salmaan), who disappeared years ago. Raju was once Kannan’s closest friend and the true ruler of the town, known for his charisma, intelligence, and a moral code that kept violence in check. However, a past betrayal led to a bloody fallout, and Raju fled Kotha, now living as a reformed, peaceful man elsewhere with his wife Tara (Aishwarya Lekshmi) and daughter. King of Kotha

Set in the fictional, lawless town of Kotha (which translates to "fort" in Malayalam) during the late 1990s and early 2000s, the film explores themes of power, legacy, redemption, and the cyclical nature of violence. The story unfolds in Kotha , a remote town controlled by a powerful gangster named Kannan Bhai (Shabeer Kallarakkal). Kannan rules with an iron fist, dealing in illicit alcohol, extortion, and murder. The local police are powerless, and the town lives in fear. Overview King of Kotha is a 2023 Indian
