== Plot ==<br />
Dhaya ([[Prakash Raj]]) is a rowdy in Chennai with enough political clout to make the police look the other way when he indulges in his nefarious activities. Thulasi ([[Meena (actress)|Meena]]) moves into his neighbourhood, but all her attempts to reform him fail. Rudhraiya ([[Raghuvaran]]), an ex-army man who has a score to settle with Sharada Amma ([[Lakshmi (actress)|Lakshmi]]), hires Dhaya to discredit her. Sharada Amma runs an orphanage for abandoned children and is a good woman who turns a deaf ear to Thulasi's warnings about Dhaya's real character. Dhaya earns Sharada Amma's trust and gets himself hired as her car driver, while secretly planning her downfall.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://myyearofprakashraj.blogspot.com/2015/07/round-up-for-april-2015.html|title=My Year of Prakash Raj: Round-up for April 2015|last=Liz|first=Dustdevil|date=2015-07-20|website=My Year of Prakash Raj|access-date=2019-11-04}}</ref><br />
