Chandrasekhar takes actions against his brothers-in-law, Vishnu (Madhan Bob) and Ramkumar (Uday Prakash) and sent them to jail.
The people becomes angry and beats all corrupted politicians, and Venkatraman's politic party doesn't even win a seat at the parliament.
When Vikram decides to kill Chandrasekhar, he sees his sister Anita Sharma and promised her to protect his husband.
After the success of Makkal Aatchi, the actor Mammootty and director Selvamani reunited for another political film titled Arasiyal.
The director, prior to release, played down any potential controversial story plots and indicated it would be more about a politician's personal life rather than his work.
[1] The film's shoot was delayed for few months due to poor health of Mammootty and Jai Ganesh, in addition to the 1997 FEFSI strike.
[6] Ji of Kalki praised the performances of Mammootty and Mansoor Ali Khan, Liyakath Ali Khan's dialogues and Panneer Selvam's cinematography but felt since many of the political incidents have been analysed earlier, it feels like watching action replay with no thrills.
