A | JioHotstar recently rolled out an impressive slate of originals at a grand event and among the titles that immediately sparked curiosity was Kaattaan, headlined by Vijay Sethupathi. The streamer has now released a brief but gripping video that offers the first real glimpse into the series. It is directed by M Manikandan, the acclaimed filmmaker behind Kadaisi Vivasayi and Aandavan Kattalai, and marks a much-awaited reunion between the actor and director.The short video is packed with atmosphere and intrigue. Vijay Sethupathi appears in a traditional lungi and shirt, walking with unhurried menace into a festival crowd after tossing a stone to part the sea of people. He moves toward a man, raises a sickle to his throat, and delivers a simple message that lands like a threat from a much larger world: “Shivettan sent me.” The streamer captioned the post with a tease of what lies ahead. “Every crime has a story. Every story has a truth.”Reports indicate that Vijay Sethupathi is also producing the series, which adds another layer of personal investment to the project. Kaattaan also features Milind Soman in a significant role, with sources describing the show as a character driven saga that explores the many versions of a man through the people whose lives intersect with his. This Rashomon-style storytelling approach suggests a narrative that blurs the line between folklore and lived reality. Every crime has a story. Every story has a truth.#HotstarSpecials #Kaattan | Coming Soon#SouthUnbound #JioHotstarSouthUnbound #JioHotstar #JioHotstarTamil#VijaySethupathi #AjithKumar #Balachandran #PradeepMilroyPeter pic.twitter.com/oG31pLUIa3 — JioHotstar (@JioHotstar) December 9, 2025 A return to longform storytelling Kaattaan signals Vijay Sethupathi’s full-fledged return to the web series format after his well-received turn in Raj and DK’s crime thriller Farzi. While he has headlined numerous films across languages during the past decade, longform storytelling is not new territory for him. Long before he became one of Tamil cinema’s most recognisable performers, he played the character Bharani in the Sun TV serial Penn in 2006.However, Kaattaan marks his first lead role in a Tamil streaming series at a time when the digital space is thriving with complex narratives and ambitious craftsmanship. With Manikandan at the helm, known for his grounded filmmaking and soulful writing, the pairing promises something rooted yet unpredictable. Manikandan’s ability to extract emotional truth from ordinary lives and Sethupathi’s instinct for characters who straddle moral greys make this collaboration one of the most exciting ones on the horizon. The world of Kaattaan and what lies ahead Although the makers have not shared character details or plot specifics, what is known so far hints at a world shaped by folklore, crime, and shifting identities. The title was earlier Muthu Engira Kaatan and the new version suggests the creation of a larger mythos built around the central figure.JioHotstar has stated that the series will arrive soon, though an exact launch date is still under wraps. The platform’s promotional push indicates that the show will be one of the key titles anchoring its upcoming lineup.For Vijay Sethupathi, Kaattaan arrives in the middle of an especially busy phase. He has Train with Mysskin gearing up, Arasan with Vetri Maaran and Silambarasan TR lined up, and a yet to be titled film with Puri Jagannadh in the works. Each project sees him explore widely different worlds, and Kaattaan appears to sharpen that versatility even further by placing him at the centre of a morally charged, multi perspective drama.If the first look is any indication, the series is shaping up to be a raw and compelling deep dive into the violent heart of a man whose legend shifts depending on who tells the story.Also Read: It’s a Wrap for Vijay Sethupathi and Puri Jagannadh’s Film。 本文来自微信公众号：国民经略 （ID：guominjinglve），作者：凯风，题图来自：AI生成 涨工资，开始落地。 01 最低工资标准，全面普涨。 近日，人社部发布最新各省份最低工资标准，各省“第一档”最低工资，首次全面站上2000元大关。 与去年相比，最低工资迎来普遍上涨，多省涨幅超过10%，与高层关于“合理提高最低工资标准”的要求相一致。 虽然集体上调，但发展阶段不同、企业成本有别，最低工资标准存在一定差距。 即使一省之内，也按照城市发展形势，分出一二三四档，第一档涵盖省会和经济强市。 从“第一档”来看，上海、北京、天津、广东、江苏、浙江、山东位居前列。 上海以2740元蝉联榜首，北京、天津、广东均超2500元，江苏、浙江为2490元，山东为2400元。 这7个省份均为东部经济大省，既是人均GDP最高的省份，也是财政转移支付的净贡献者。
B | 与之对比，全国还有6省最低工资不足2100元，包括甘肃、青海、新疆、黑龙江、江西、海南。 令人意外的是，“垫底”的不是人均GDP倒数第一的甘肃，而是中部的江西。
C | 其实，这是统计时差所致。 江西最低工资标准仍停留于2024年，今年最新版本正在征求意见。 根据意见稿，江西一类区域最低工资将由2000元调整到2240元，将于12月初开始实施。 可见，江西最低工资涨幅也超10%，处于中游水平，与其经济实力相称。 02 最低工资，为何突然大范围上涨？ 日前，中办、国办联合发文强调，“完善最低工资标准调整机制，合理提高最低工资标准”。 就在年初，国家发改委在相关报告中明确，“适当加快提高最低工资标准，2025年原则上所有省份都要调整”。
D | 根据规定，最低工资标准，一般2年左右调整一次。 然而，个别省份已经连续3～4年未有动作，最低工资仍停留于几年前水平。 事实上，这一轮要调整的不只是最低工资标准，还有更广义的“涨工资”。 今年5月，中办、国办在关于“现代企业制度”的文件提出，推动企业健全工资合理增长机制。 此前，中办、国办印发促消费文件，将“城乡居民增收促进行动”置于各大政策之首。 在年初的国常会上，明确提及“大力支持居民增收，促进工资性收入合理增长”…… 层级之高、文件之密集、定调之鲜明，足见“涨工资”已成为自上而下的共识。 之所以聚焦于工资，是因为在我国，工资性收入占居民收入60%左右，是绝大多数人唯一收入来源。 当然，工资不是想涨就能涨。 政策能决定的只是最低工资，给出的只是建议性的工资指导线。
E | 对于普通人来说，工资能否上涨，取决于供求关系，更取决于经济形势和宏观大环境。 即使如此，最低工资普涨，仍然释放出难得的积极信号。 毕竟，最低工资，不只与弱势群体有关，还关乎失业保险金、病假工资、工资指导线等标准的制定。 更关键的是，“下限”抬升，有望形成逐级传导效应，对于所有劳动者都不是坏事。 03 “涨工资”，为何越来越重要了？ 长期以来，“涨工资”被视为企业与个体之事，对于个人当然很重要。 今年一系列文件出台，标志着“涨工资”，已上升到国之大事、民之大事的高度。 “涨工资”关乎的不只是民生，更是扩大消费、刺激生育、打破通缩、重塑预期乃至长远发展的大局。 这从顶层文件的涵盖范围就可见一斑：“改善民生”、“提振消费”，“建立现代企业制度”等等。 消费是收入的函数，没有收入增长作为根本支撑，提振消费、刺激内需就无从着手。 一个可喜的变化是，今年从上到下的促消费文件，不再简单着眼于发券，而将“增收”放在了首位。 生育同样受到“收入预期”与“养育成本”的双重拉扯，增收与减负缺一不可。 更为可喜的变化是，今年9月，倡议多年的育儿补贴终于落地，直达个人账户。
F | 用官方的话说，这是新中国成立以来首次大范围、普惠式、直接性向群众发放真金白银，意义不容低估。
G | 其实，涨工资不局限于直接增收，减负本身也是增收。 提高农民的养老金、减轻中产的个税负担、推进学前教育免费……都可视为广义上的“涨工资”。 只要收入能保持增长，每个人都有对于未来的增长预期，消费意愿的提升、生产-消费循环的畅通都不在话下。 从“投资于物”到“投资于人”，这场大变局才刚刚开始。
