The film re-emerged in January 2009 as the team geared up for a first schedule with reports emerging that Sai Kumar had replaced Prakash Raj in a pivotal role. Bharath is playing a gym-trainer in this film. However the actor's commitment to Durai's Nepali and Venkatesh's Killadi meant that he was unable to start the project at the time, so Perarasu moved on to make Thiruvannamalai with Arjun. Immediately after the release of Pazhani in January 2008, Perarasu announced that he would make another action film starring Bharath titled Thiruthani.



The treating doctor privately tells him that he would only live for another six months. Velu then gets involved in an accident causing severe damages to his skull. Meanwhile, Velu falls in love with Sugeesha ( Sunaina), an orphan who goal in life is to marry a person with a large family. It is here that Velu justifies his actions, saying that everyone stood watching as his unconscious mother was left locked up in a burning building for fear that they would be killed by the local rowdies. However, Duraipandi becomes furious when Velu refuses to save an athlete from having his leg broken, despite his pleas for help. Duraipandi ( Rajkiran), an ex-military officer, proudly watches the fight along with many others. The film opens with Velu ( Bharath) beating up men who cause trouble to his sister for celebrating Diwali.
