Contents

The film "hints at redefining superhero genre" by casting older actors in the roles of superheroes, which are usually portrayed by youngsters. [2] According to the director, "There’ll be parallel tracks of comedy which don’t ever entwine with the spine of the film. It’s like an item song—the comedy is an extra thing. You don’t need to understand the story or the film to understand the comedy. This isn’t the case with Super Senior Heroes." [3]

Plot

Ganeshan's wife dies and his grandson Aadith, who loves superheroes, finds it hard to connect with his grandfather, so Ganeshan and his friends act as superheroes. [4]
