==Plot==
Bhagyanathan ([[Prabhu Ganesan|Prabhu]]) is a crazy fan of [[M. G. Ramachandran|MGR]] and has named his son Idhayakani ([[Aadhi (actor)|Aadhi]]). Idhayakani is a nice guy who watches movies, plays [[basketball]], flirts with girls like Anjali ([[Shamna Kasim|Poorna]]), and has a happy family consisting of his father, loving mother Kalaiarasi ([[Anupama Kumar|Anupama]]), sister, grandfather Sabapathy ([[Ravichandran (Tamil actor)|Ravichandran]]), and grandmother Sampoornam ([[K. R. Vijaya]]). However, Thillainayagam ([[Suresh (actor)|Suresh]]), Anjali's father, is a cunning minister and ruthless politician who wants to be the next CM by hook or crook. He does not approve of Idhayakanni as his future son-in-law and has an army of goondas like Paal Pandi ready to take on his enemies. How our larger than life hero wages a one-man battle against the evil minister and his henchmen forms the rest of the story.
