Moon Walk (2026) Plot Summary: What We Know So Far
Moon Walk (Tamil: மூன் வாக், also styled Moonwalk) is an upcoming Tamil-language comedy-drama written and directed by Manoj Nirmala Sreedharan. It is pitched as an all-ages family entertainer that mixes dance, music and comedy, with the aim of drawing whole households into cinemas.
Prabhu Deva, one of Indian cinema’s best-known dancers and choreographers, leads the cast as a character called Babooty. A.R. Rahman composes the music and also steps in front of the camera, credited in a role under his own name. The ensemble includes Yogi Babu as Dubai Mathew, Aju Varghese as Lord Djokovic and Arjun Ashokan as Luna. These colourful character names hint at the film’s playful tone.
The story is built around movement, rhythm and humour, which fits the moonwalk of the title. Further plot details have not been shared publicly, so this page sticks to the premise and avoids spoilers.
