Beautiful Husband) is a 1996 Indian Tamil-language comedy drama film directed by Sabapathy Dekshinamurthy, starring Livingston and Rambha.
Things go wrong for him when his mother dies when he is 8 years old; his father, who is the richest landlord in their village, marries another woman which he dislikes and runs away from home after months of torture from his dad and step-mom.
Vadivelu tactfully implicates Raja in a murder attempt case and sends him to prison on the day of marriage, minutes before the rituals.
As per the village custom, a function is organised where Valli needs to remove her mangalayam tied by Ganesan which will be followed by her wedding with Raja.
Meanwhile, Ganesan attempts suicide by jumping off a waterfall, but is saved by a net placed for cinema shooting, at the bottom.
He pitched the script of Sundara Purushan to Choudhary, who agreed to fund the film despite objection from distributors.
[citation needed] R. P. R. of Kalki wrote Livingston with his acting and writing has completely followed the path of his mentor K. Bhagyaraj while praising his acting and Rambha, Sirpy's music and Wilson's cinematography and concluded that though the film could have had more speed, newness and originality but one cannot deny that this has planted a bright future for Livingston.
[5] D. S. Ramanujam of The Hindu wrote, "In a story full of drama, humour and passion, Livingston, playing the full-fledged hero, comes out with flying colours".
