At just the age of 21 years, Keralite Nayanthara has acquired the reputation of acting opposite male actors who are almost twice as old. She starred in her first Malyalam film opposite Jayaram, and then in "Chandramukhi" with renowned Indian actor Rajnikanth, then with other aging actors like Sarath Kumar, Mohanlal, and Mammotty. Now she has been cast to play the lead role in a much younger Simbu's directorial debut, in which he also has the lead role. Nayanthara and Simbu's intimate life-sized posters created shock waves in Chennai, which were subsequently pulled down by the police. Similar excitement resulted when glamorous life-sized posters were posted all over Chennai - this time with her co-star S.J. Surya. With her attractive looks and talent, it is no wonder that she is one of the most popular actresses in the Tamil film industry.
Surya plays a servant who goes to work for the family of a rich woman (Saroja Devi) in order to take revenge for a past wrong inflicted upon him by her family. But matters become complicated when he falls in love with her eldest daughter (Nayanthara). Comedy actor Vadivelu co-stars as the household cook.
