Sivakasi reveals his real name as Muthappa and was falsely blamed for setting off crackers near a possessed dancer 15 years earlier, which was actually done by his brother, Udayappa, causing him to run away from home.

Sivakasi's mother, Thangam, works as a servant in her own house and his sister Vairam operates a roadside stall in a nearby village in utter poverty with her husband Ramalingam and daughter Divya.

Udayappa tries to sell off the ancestral property, but Sivakasi reminds the buyers that without Muthappa's signature, the sale is illegal.

To avoid this, Udhayappa dresses a false body to look like Muthappa, but Sivakasi inserts a note saying his share of the property should be donated.

Udayappa threatens to kill Thangam and although Sivakasi burns his palms, he and Vairam decide to leave.

Sivakasi fakes a threat by Udhayappa towards Vairam, resulting in Udayappa's men attacking the villagers.

Sivakasi secretly burns a body with Ramalingam's chain, making everyone think Udayappa killed him.

After the success of Thirupaachi, A. M. Rathnam called Perarasu to make a film with Vijay re-uniting with him for second time.

12.0 million,[11] one of the traditional Mylapore look complete with tall temple gopurams and Teppakulam and another of vintage Triplicane aura with mosques.

As Dharani wanted Rocky Rajesh to work for his Telugu film, he requested Perarasu to release him.

Perarasu and Vijay believe only in catering to the mass audience who want their dose of unpretentious masala mix".

[24] Lajjavathi of Kalki wrote even though Vijay perfectly fits into a story which M. G. Ramachandran and Rajinikanth have acted a lot, it is questionable whether mass films like this can take Tamil cinema and the fan's taste to new heights.
