The template of friends-turned-foes has been used in many Tamil films before, but Enemy tries to break the mold by offering something different. Enemy attempts to explore the idea of a friendship that is tested by the characters' struggles. It delves into the psychology of the characters and how they navigate their insecurities and flaws while still maintaining their deep-rooted loyalty and friendship. With two action heroes - Vishal and Arya - involved in a cat-and-mouse game on screen, it is interesting to see two characters who are starkly different from each other involved in such a game.
