[edit] Plot
Chandran(Rajnikanth) is a playful youngster, intent on having fun with his group of like-minded friends. With advice from a family friend, he poses as a devout, patriotic and simple man with good morals to get a job at the company owned by Sri Ramachandramoorthy('Thengai' Srinivasan). But when his boss spots him at a football match, to which he had gone by lying about an injury to a non-existent mother, Chandran invents a younger brother Indran to solve the predicament. Chandran removes his moustache to become Indran and in that guise, falls in love with Sarojini(Madhavi), Ramachandramoorthy's daughter, while continuing to impress his boss as Chandran.

[edit] Trivia
Rajnikanth at first was hesitant in playing the role as Chandran because the role was light and comical as well as the comedy oriented storyline. At that time Rajnikanth was known more as an action hero and he was doubtful of his fans and public reaction to this. However, after being assured by his director/mentor K.Balachander that he should not let the public label or stereotype him as an action hero, he was convinced enough to take up this movie and role. It turned out to be one of the biggest hits of the year and brought him fame and accolodates from the public and critics.
