History), is a 2006 Indian Tamil-language action-drama film written and directed by K. S. Ravikumar, and produced by S. S. Chakravarthy under the banner NIC Arts.

The film stars Ajith Kumar in the main triple lead role as a father and his two twin sons.

Asin, Kanika, Ramesh Khanna, Suman Setty, Sujatha and M. S. Baskar play supporting roles.

[5][6] The film has been remade in Kannada, titled Godfather, in Burmese as Nat Khat Mhar Tae Tite Pwal, and in Odia as Tu Mo Dehara Chhai.

Vishnu tells Divya to leave her profession and offers to save her honour by marrying her in the village temple the next day.

Divya does not come, but Vishnu and his friends happen to see her leaving on a bus bearing the name of the girls' college, revealing that they have been duped.

Depressed and feeling cheated, Vishnu returns home, where Shivashankar discovers that his son has fallen in love.

It is then revealed that Jeeva, Vishnu's younger twin, had taken over his identity, took money from the bank, got drunk, went to Divya's place and attempted to rape her cousin.

Shivashankar was a Bharatanatyam dancer who behaved effeminately due to dancing and the upbringing by his mother, whom he loved dearly.

As per director R. Sundarrajan, Varalaru's original base story was scripted by him for Kamal Haasan under the Sivaji Productions banner.

[8] Ravikumar was forced to pull out of a project titled Jaggubhai which he had written and begun directing and consequently signed on Ajith Kumar, who had just opted out of A. R. Murugadoss's action film, Mirattal.

Later, the project shifted to the hands of NIC Arts (from Sri Surya Movies) due to a higher budget.

[16] This had led to Ajith taking a forced sabbatical, with his market being at a low following the failure of his previous film Ji.

[18] Chakravarthy avoided trouble by claiming he would finish the film by 15 June 2005 and signed a contract in March with the Tamil Nadu Producers Committee, who wanted to resolve the problem.

P. C. Sreeram opted out of the film after his dates clashed with his work in Kanda Naal Mudhal and was replaced by Priyan.

Devayani was also considered for the role but she refused as she did not want to scold Ajith[19] and after unfruitful discussion with Simran, Kanika was signed.

[20] Problems arose in mid-2005, when Asin could not allot dates for the film due to her work in Ghajini, Majaa and Sivakasi.

All lyrics are written by VairamuthuVaralaru released on 20 October 2006, during the Diwali season alongside Silambarasan’s Vallavan, S. P. Jananathan’s E, Saran’s Vattaram, Perarasu’s Dharmapuri and Sarath Kumar's Thalaimagan,[26] and emerged as the biggest hit of the year.

The critic from The Hindu gave a verdict that the film "scores in pace and performance" and mentioned that "Ajith's skills as a performer have been appreciably honed and efficiently used" and that it is a "milestone in Ajith's cinema efforts, the film has the potential to propel its hero into a higher league in stardom", while describing Asin as "lustrous and sails through her role smoothly", while Kanika "gets more scope, which she makes good use of".

The movie was unofficially remade in 2015 in Burmese as Nat Khat Mhar Tae Tite Pwal and in Odia as Tu Mo Dehara Chhai.
