Plot summary
Your Bank, one of Chennai's largest private banks, is the target: the gangster Radha and his crew fix 21 May for the raid, the day of the Governor's party at his residence, and ACP Ramachandran backs the plan, with 500 crores in view. They take the building, but the bank is not theirs: a man the media comes to call Michael Jackson, working with Kanmani, has beaten them to it. Commandos who enter are driven back. Jackson offers Radha a share if he helps him take 5,000 crores instead, and Radha reluctantly agrees. Jackson asks that Constable Antony handle the negotiations, which angers Ramachandran, and speaks to the press through a voice changer, promising the hostages will be unharmed if his team is allowed to walk out.

Did you know?!Facts and trivia about Thunivu (2023)
Can contain spoilers, watch the movie first.
- Stunt choreographer Supreme Sundar designed a 360-degree action sequence for Ajith Kumar that plays out in 32 seconds. The first four takes failed and the shot was only nailed on the 13th take, after minor changes.
- Manju Warrier was signed as the lead actress a month after filming began, her second Tamil film after Asuran (2019), but she does not play Ajith Kumar's love interest. Director H. Vinoth wanted an actress closer to Ajith's age and had her do action instead.
- Shaam was approached for a negative role in Thunivu, but he declined the part because of scheduling conflicts with Varisu.
