He lives with his younger sister Kavitha and house maid Senthamarai who is a part-time black market liquor seller.

Pasupathy's uncle applies for an opening in his friend's mineral water company "Classique" for marketing head post.

Pasupathy one day lies to his boss that his mother got injured and leaves to watch an IPL match.

To secure his job, Pasupathy lies that Sivagurunathan has actually seen his identical twin brother Ganguly Kandhan, a karate master who has blue eyes unlike his.

Her interest turns to learning self-defense skills and tells her father to appoint a master to teach Karate.

Pasupathy wears blue contact lens and visits his home and manages to make Sivagurunathan believe he is Ganguly.

But he innocently behaves and submits his and Ganguly's resignation letter to him telling that his mother did not want them to work for a boss who doubts their loyalty.

Pasupathy pretends to say that he will go to Dubai and stop his brother and bring back his daughter to which Sivagurunathan accepts.

Mano blackmails Pasupathy into letting him marry Kavitha otherwise he would reveal his double act to Sivagurunathan.

In July 2012, Shiva confirmed that was he going to do the remake Thillu Mullu that was likely to be produced by KB's daughter Pushpa Kandasamy.

[5] The team after shooting in Chennai and Hyderabad headed to Dubai and Abu Dhabi to can a few songs and scenes.

[13] Bosskey informed that he appeared in the opening sequence "as a fake godman who tries to transform a vertically-challenged person into a normal one".

[16] Thillu Mullu released on 14 June 2013 alongside another comedy film Theeya Velai Seiyyanum Kumaru.

[18] M. Suganth of The Times of India gave 3.5/5 and said, "Much of the credit for this (film) should go to director Badri, whose script clearly suggests that some amount of thought has gone into reworking a cult classic for present-day audiences.

Any remake’s success is when it makes us forget the original and this new Thillu Mullu does that well with different situations and a decent cast".

[20] Behindwoods said, "The strong point of the film is definitely Shiva and he suits the role of Pasupathy and Kandhan Ganguly so effortlessly.

[23] On the other hand, S. Saraswathi of Rediff.com wrote that the film "fails to evoke spontaneous laughter and lacks the brilliance and rib-tickling humour of the original.

Despite a few rib-tickling moments between Shiva and Prakash Raj, 'Thillu Mullu' suffers due to extended running time and skewed screenplay.

"[25] Baradwaj Rangan wrote for The Hindu, "The film, in its earlier avatar, was aided immensely by the eye-rolling eccentricities of 'Thengai' Srinivasan, which is exactly what's needed when the hero is playing it straight.

"[26] The film clashed with big release Theeya Velai Seiyyanum Kumaru but managed to collect ₹ 3.2 crore on opening day.

However, the court dismissed the case, concluding that the remake did not have the same screenplay as the original version, allowing it to release on 14 June.
