Kathavarayan is a 2008 Tamil language action comedy-drama film written and directed by Salangai Durai starring Karan, Vidisha, and Vadivelu.

[1] The music was composed by Srikanth Deva with cinematography by A. Karthik Raja and editing by Peter Babiya.

Kathavarayan leaves jail to retaliate against Malti, but he learns her real intentions and dire situation.

The film was initially offered to Sibiraj, though his refusal meant that Karan was chosen to play the lead role.

Radha definitely has a future as a glam girl while heroine Vidisha is earnest, but a poorly written role mars her chances.

Ilavarasu, Kadhal Dhandapani are also there along with a sick comedy track of Vadivelu as an idiot moneylender who gets beaten up by all and sundry.

The laughs provided by Vadivelu who keeps appearing in little doses throughout the movie is another positive and there are others like Ilavarasu and Muthukalai who do not create much of an impact.
