The film stars Kamal Haasan in the title role alongside Simran, Abbas and Sneha.

[3] When a stuntman Pammal Kalyana Sambandham alias P.K.S and a reputed surgeon Dr. Janaki come across each other at his younger brother Anand's and her best friend Malathi's elopement in Chennai, they instantly develop a dislike for each other.

When his grandfather finds out the reasons why Janaki cancelled the engagement from Sammandham, he suffers a massive heart attack and dies.

She also finds out that Sambandham had decided to transfer the ownership of the lodge to her and convert it to an orphanage if they had got married, and on this revelation, she realises that she has indeed fallen in love with him.

She decides to confess her love to Sambandham, but instead she inadvertently convinces him to marry his relative, a weightlifter Rajeshwari alias Raji.

Both duo get married in a police station within the deadline, thus ensuring that the lodge remains under Sambandham's ownership, and he gives it to the orphanage.

Kamal Haasan initially approached Moulee to make a film for his own production house, but efforts were fruitless.

[15] Malathi Rangarajan of The Hindu claimed that "if Mouli had sustained the humorous strain throughout, PKS would have turned out to be a complete comic treat from start to finish.
