[6][7] Co-produced and distributed by UTV Motion Pictures,[8] Muran was released on 30 September 2011 to overall positive reviews.
The film starts with the scene in a hotel in Bangalore, where Nanda (Cheran) is playing a song on his guitar for producers who are helping him get an opportunity in Tamil cinema as a musician.
At this instant, Arjun (Prasanna), heavily drunk, makes a scene, stating that he will fall from there (the top floor of the hotel) to the swimming pool at the ground, and he does.
Nanda tells him about his unloving wife Indhu (Nikita Thukral), and his post marital love Lavanya (Haripriya).
Afterwards, while approaching the destination of their journey, Arjun explains to Nanda his idea of solving both of their problems in a criss-cross manner.
In a week's daily routine, Nanda increasingly identifies with Arjun's idea that the only problem in his life is his wife.
Nanda understands that Arjun is already highly engaged in the deal and won't stop until he accepts it.
Over the next few days, Nanda feels increasingly alarmed by accidents threatening Lavanya's safety, realizing Arjun is behind them all.
Arjun fights back, and falls from the roof near the swimming pool, into which he dives at the start of the film.
He dies instantly, and Nanda is satisfied that he didn't have to pull the trigger to kill Arjun as he had initially planned.
