What is Shakthi Thirumagan about?

Kittu (Antony) is shadowing as a pimp, he is secretly operating his own government as a lobbyist. Kittu just needs a few phone calls to get the job done, and he helps everyone without bias. The film's sharp and slick pattern of editing also works in its favour, because by the time you process how this well-oiled machinery works, the job is already done and Kittu is onto the next.
