Sreenivasan's Vasan Visual Ventures, scored by Yuvan Shankar Raja and filmed by Sakthi Saravanan, released on 10 September 2010 to very positive responses, with particularly the film's comedy portions being lauded.

The film was officially launched on 19 November 2009 at the AVM Studios, with the film starting shooting in December first week. Rajesh, following his sleeper hit Siva Manasula Sakthi, decided to make another comedy film and to cast Arya, who appeared in a cameo role in Siva Manasula Sakthi, in the titular role, while Jeeva in return will make a cameo appearance in the film. As the film's backdrop is set to be both village as well as city, the film was shot at various location including Thanjavur, Mysore and Trichy. A major part of the film was filmed at Kumbakonam, while a few scenes were shot in Chennai as well. Shooting was also carried on in the Swiss Alps, where some song sequences were picturized. The shooting was finished on 3 August 2010 with completing the last song that was canned at a set errected at Binny Mills near Chennai.

While Vasan Visual Ventures that produced Arya's Naan Kadavul, produced this film as well, Arya purchased the rights in the midst to release it under his own production banner "The Show People". The film's distribution rights, however, were again acquired by Red Giant Movies, led by Udhayanidhi Stalin, who would enact the lead role in Rajesh's next project.

His only friend is Nallathambi (Santhanam) who owns a Hair Cutting Saloon named Thalai Thalapathi Saloon which he received as a dowry for marrying a two-month pregnant woman.

Baskaran lives with his mother, Sivakami (Lakshmi Ramakrishnan), brother Saravanan (Panchu Subbu) who is a successful veterinarian and sister, Nithya (Monisha). When his brother marries Nandhini (Vijayalakshmi), he gets to meet Nandhini's younger sister Chandrika (Nayantara) and wishes to marry her. When he approaches his family for a chance, everyone talks very frankly of his unemployed status which rankles him and causes him to leave his house to prove himself.

With the support of Nallathambi, he establishes a tutorial for X students and despite early setbacks makes it work and ensures that he makes a very heavy profit on the deal, while also convincing Chandrika, who eventually reciprocates his love. However despite all this, Chandrika's father is against marriage with Bhaskar for a reason which is revealed in the end and a thrilling climax.
