A situational comedy with some sparkling lines, the film is about Pasupathy who is in dire need of a job, and of the lie he tells to land one. The lie helps him gain the confidence of his eccentric employer, and endear Pasupathy to him. To cover up the lie, Pasupathy has to spin many more yarns with his family and friends supporting his stories. At one point, he conjures up a twin, Kandhan, a karate master, and even a fake mother. But when Kandhan falls in love with the boss’s daughter Janani, matters spiral out of his control.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
A remake of Rajinikanth's 1981 classic, trading superstar swagger for Shiva's everyman nervous energy.
The fake twin trope here specifically riffs on Tamil cinema's long obsession with doppelgänger dramas, but grounds it in middle-class job desperation rather than revenge or romance. Prakash Raj's eccentric boss owes everything to his own iconic comedic villain era.
