scenes were shot at locations in Pollachi, where Sharat Kumar, Suresh Gopi and
Manivannan participated. Thiru is a wealthy business tycoon who makes a trip to
the village to see his sister. As he enters the village he sees a pregnant woman
screaming in agony, no one bothering to help her. Thiru rushes to her, lifts her
and puts her in his car. Suddenly an elderly man comes there with his henchmen
and warns Thiru from helping the woman. In the verbal skirmish that follows, the
man gives a tight slap to Thiru. Surya who hears of the incident rushes to the
place and is surprised to find his friend Thiru there. Seeing that it was his
uncle who had laid hands on his friend, Surya reprimands him for it. Sharat
played Thiru, Gopi was Surya and Manivannan the uncle. Yet another emotional scene was
shot on Suresh Gopi and Sharat Kumar who play buddies -Surya and Thiru
respectively. The buddies face a trying time to their friendship when after a
verbal skirmish following some incident, Thiru slaps Surya. A shocked Surya,
however, doesn’t retaliate and returns quietly home. Thiru, ashamed of his own
behaviour, goes to Surya’s house to apologize. When he reaches there, he sees
to his surprise Surya laughing and jokingly telling everyone about the incident.
Seeing how sportingly Surya had taken the whole incident, and also his
magnanimity, Thiru is not able to hide the tears that come rushing down. A
lighter scene was shot on Suresh Gopi, Goundamani and Devayani. Thangamani was
on the look out for a suitable groom for his only sister Divya. And he found the
right guy in Thiru who was kind-hearted and noble. Thangamani decided to
approach Thiru through his friend Surya who was close to both the families and
he knew that Thiru would not refuse Surya. So one day Thangamani invited Surya
home for lunch. While Surya was surprised at the lavish spread, Thangamani
revealed his intention, which shocked Surya even further. Suresh Gopi,
Goundamani & Devayani, played the roles, while Balamurugan canned the shots,
and Raj Kapoor directed the artistes.
