Movie Synopsis:
'Avan' is played by Vishal who portrays the role of Walter Vanangamudy, while 'Ivan' is Arya who portrays the role of Kumbudra Saami. Having tonsured their heads for the roles (and following the director's request to keep their startling appearance secret from the public), the two stars are playing a pair of petty thieves. Vishal is a squint-eyed hero, using con-tricks to fund local dramas, while Arya portrays his stepbrother. The director says, "Avan Ivan is a film that will make you roar with laughter for the most part. Occasionally, you may cry. But finally you will be shocked." With music scored by Yuvan Shankar Raja, the film's highlights include a 10-minute scene where Vishal and Arya appear together with Suriya, who makes a memorable cameo appearance!
