==Plot==<br />
The film opens with a playful Kolanji (Kirubakaran) getting a few whacks from his father Appasamy ([[Samuthirakani]]), who is an atheist. Kolanji's playfulness and unruly behaviour lands him in trouble at all times with his father, who keeps scolding and beating him. This forms a hatred for his father in Kolanji, but he seems to be happy when he is with his uncle Gemini (Rajaji), and he helps him in his love for his cousin sister Poongoodi (Naina Sarwar). The story revolves around Kolanji and his feelings towards his father, and takes a drastic turn after an incident involving his younger brother. How Kolanji realises his father's affection when he lands in trouble with a fellow villager's son forms the rest of the story.<br />

==Production==<br />
In February 2015, it was reported that director [[Naveen (director)|Naveen]], who made his debut in ''[[Moodar Koodam]]'' (2013), was working on his second film titled ''Kolanji'' for producer Nehru Nagar Nandhu, who had earlier produced the [[Vidharth]]-starrer ''[[Kaadu (2014 film)|Kaadu]]'' (2014).<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.indiaglitz.com/moodar-koodam-navenn-returns-with-kolanji-next-tamil-news-126575.html|title=- Tamil Movie News - IndiaGlitz.com|publisher=}}</ref> Actors [[Samuthirakani]], [[Sanghavi]], Rajaji, and Naina Sarwar were selected to portray the lead roles, with production beginning in mid-2015. Samuthirakani had agreed to work on the film after being impressed by Naveen's previous film, while Sanghavi made a comeback to acting after a 10-year sabbatical.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/tamil/movies/news/Sanghavi-makes-a-comeback-in-Kanis-film/articleshow/46944952.cms|title=Sanghavi makes a comeback in Kani's film - Times of India|publisher=}}</ref> Soon after production was completed in August 2015, Naveen clarified that he had taken over as the producer of the film and that his assistant, Dhanaram Saravanan was the director and a co-writer for the project.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.behindwoods.com/tamil-movies-cinema-news-15/director-naveen-of-moodar-koodam-fame-talks-about-kolanji-his-production-venture.html|title=Director Naveen of Moodar Koodam fame talks about Kolanji, his production venture|date=21 August 2015|publisher=}}</ref> Naveen revealed that ''Kolanji'' was the tale of a 12-year-old boy who wants to live life on his own terms, while his father wants to raise his children in a highly disciplined manner. The film was primarily shot in rural places including Rasipuram and Kokkarayan Pettai.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.indiaglitz.com/samuthirakani-and-sanghavi-in-moodar-koodam-naveen-next-film-kolanji-tamil-news-160372.html|title=Sanghavi makes a comeback in 'Moodarkoodam' Naveen's next - Tamil Movie News - IndiaGlitz.com|publisher=}}</ref><br />
<br />
The film's promotion campaign began in mid-2016, but the venture was delayed owing to the presence of several other bigger budget films at the box office. Cinematographer [[P. C. Sriram]] released the film's motion poster in June 2016, while actor [[Silambarasan]] released a teaser for the film during the same month.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.indiaglitz.com/silambarasan-to-launch-the-first-look-teaser-of-kolanji-naveen-samuthirakani-sanghavi-tamil-news-161680.html|title=It is Simbu for 'Moodarkoodam' Naveen's next - Tamil Movie News - IndiaGlitz.com|publisher=}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.indiaglitz.com/pcsreeram-to-launch-kolanji-motion-poster-samuthirakani-sanghavi-moodarkoodam-naveen-tamil-news-161129.html|title=P.C.Sreeram for 'Moodarkoodam' Naveen's next - Tamil Movie News - IndiaGlitz.com|publisher=}}</ref><br />
