Directed by Jason Sanjay, Sigma stars Sundeep Kishan as Guru, a man struggling to keep his ancestral library running while dealing with mounting debt. He owes money to a local gangster and looks for ways to clear the amount, eventually turning to a podcast about books as a potential source of income.

Faria Abdullah plays Sam, an RJ who becomes the central romantic interest in Guru’s life. Raju Sundaram plays Dr Neil, while Anbu Thasan appears as Kavithai Ganesh.

The story brings Guru into the orbit of several criminal figures. Sampath Raj plays Kotlapadi Veera Reddy, a drug trafficker, while Shiv Panditt plays Vincent, who runs an illegal casino. Ezhil, a missing person, connects the two characters, while Magalakshmi Sudarsanan plays Sarangi, a gangster’s mole who has plans of her own. The film also stars Yog Japee and other members of the ensemble cast.

Sigma marks Jason Sanjay’s first film as a director. The 25-year-old filmmaker, who is the son of Tamil Nadu Chief Minister and actor Vijay, entered the industry with considerable attention surrounding his debut.
