[3] Rajini Murugan is an unemployed youth from Madurai who spends his days roaming around with his best friend Thotathree and supplying food to his grandfather Ayyankalai, a highly respected gentleman who has large properties of land.

Ayyankalai wants to divide all his properties among his children and grandchildren, but except Rajini Murugan and his father Malligarajan, who is the headmaster of the local school, the rest of the family is settled abroad and never visit Madurai.

Nevertheless, Rajini Murugan opens a tea stall outside Karthika's house to stay close to her and follows her day and night.

Actor Ambareesh was initially signed in to play the grandfather's role which was portrayed by Rajkiran in the original.
