At its surface, 7am Arivu is a chase film. Suriya plays a dual role: Aravind, a modern-day geneticist and circus performer in Chennai, and Bodhidharma, the 5th-century Tamil prince-turned-monk who took martial arts (Kalaripayattu) and Zen Buddhism from South India to China.

Bodhidharma, a Pallava prince from Kanchipuram, travels to China. He teaches the locals martial arts (the basis of Shaolin) and uses his medical expertise to cure a deadly plague.
