Fearless) is a 2014 Indian Tamil-language action film[2] written and directed by N. Lingusamy and produced under his banner Thirupathi Brothers and distributed by UTV Motion Pictures.

Manoj Bajpayee, Dalip Tahil, Murali Sharma, Joe Malloori, Soori, Chetan Hansraj, Sanjana Singh and Asif Basra play supporting roles.

The project was reported in July 2012 marking the maiden collaboration with Suriya and Lingusamy and was set to begin production after the former's commitments on other films.

The film has music was composed by Yuvan Shankar Raja, cinematography handled by Santosh Sivan and editing by Anthony.

Returning to his hood, Raju is shattered to find Chandru's mutilated corpse, and in a fit of rage, orders Amar to accompany him in killing Imran.

Back to the present, Krishna is told by Karim to stay hidden when Amar arrives at his taxi station, but is spotted and reveals that he killed Raju.

Raju tries to kill Imran at his birthday party but ends up shooting only his virtual projection telecast from Dubai.

In July 2012, it was reported first that Suriya had signed on for a film directed and produced by N. Lingusamy under his Thirrupathi Brothers banner and that he would work on it after Maattrraan (2012) and Singam 2 (2013).

[5] Suriya waited for six months after Singam 2, but failed to receive a complete script from Gautham Menon and no progress took place in this period of time.

[8] He added that the script was written specifically for Suriya, where unlike his other action films which were character-driven, Lingusamy made it with a mass appeal where "his very presence on screen should have fans clapping and whistling", in comparison with Vijay's Pokkiri and Ajith Kumar's Billa (both 2007).

[8] S. D. Vijay Milton was initially roped in as the film's cinematographer in June 2013,[9] but in that October he was replaced by Santosh Sivan, who collaborates with Lingusamy for the first time.

[14][15] The same month, a press statement from Thirrupathi Brothers revealed that UTV Motion Pictures would co-produce and distribute the film, in their second consecutive collaboration with the banner after Vettai (2012).

[22] Speaking to Srinivasa Ramanujam of The Hindu, Jammwal added that he met Lingusamy at the after-party of an award function where the latter was interested to cast him for the film.

[23] Though he was not playing an antagonist role unlike his previous films, Jammwal revealed that: "Suriya and my characters are partners in crime, brothers in arms.

[31] Chitrangada Singh was chosen for another item number after discussions to have Sonakshi Sinha and Kareena Kapoor, in the song were unsuccessful.

[32][33] In mid-October 2013, a test shoot occurred with Suriya and Malavika Rampradeep, a Bharatanatyam dancer, at the Prasad Studios in Chennai, where Sivan used the Red Dragon 6K Digital camera along with a high zoom lens.

[39] In December 2013, filming halted as Samantha developed a mild skin irritation as a result of shooting in extreme heat conditions.

[42] Filming continued in late December, where the team shot some "breezy, lighthearted sequences" featuring Suriya and Samantha.

[32] On 30 March 2014, the team canned few action sequences at the Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus train station but was halted in the afternoon due to protesters shouting slogans against Lingusamy and Sivan.

[51] During this schedule, Suriya suffered a minor ligament tear in his knees after a fighter who weighed about 120 kg fell from a height on his leg.

[53] The team then resumed the final schedule in early June with the song "Oru Kan JaadaI" being filmed at the Morjim and Miramar beaches of Goa.

[58] The teaser trailer of the film was launched along with that of Kamal Haasan-starrer Uttama Villain during the 8th Vijay Awards held on 5 July 2014 and was simultaneously uploaded to YouTube.

[71] It reportedly set a record for the pre-release business of Tamil films as it made around ₹87 crore (US$10 million) from its distribution, satellite and music rights.

"[89] In contrast, Anupama Subramanian of Deccan Chronicle rated three and a half out of five, summarizing "It is high voltage revenge drama seen in umpteen numbers of films, but what makes the film work is Suriya’s stunning charisma combined with his incredible performance and glossy packaging of Lingusamy with all commercial elements including action, glam quotient, romance, friendship, humor, sentiments, vengeance in a fitting manner.

[95][96] Due to the lackluster box office performance and dour critical reception, Anjaan inspired various internet memes.

[99][100] A separate page "Lingusamy Memes" have been created by Facebook users and administrators trolling the director with the statements he gave in that interview, because to the film's negative reception.

[101][100] Venkat Prabhu came forward to defend Lingusamy and criticized the trolls against him, questioning the audience on not making acclaimed films successful.

[102] Speaking to Srinivasa Ramanujam of The Hindu, he admitted that overdoing the publicity of the film had caused a negative effect and also felt embarrassed as the memes against him had reached children.

[104][105] The film's underperformance caused Lingusamy's production house Thirrupathi Brothers to experience significant financial problems.

[106] This delayed release led to a loss of ₹12 crore (US$1.4 million) and the film subsequently became a box-office bomb pushing the production house into financial crisis.
