Movies were as much a part of Sivagiri's life as any Tamil's. A resident of Ramanathapuram, he identified with Kamal Haasan's 'Thevar Magan' released in 1992. A proud Thevar, Sivagiri felt that Kamal, whose roots were in nearby Paramakudi, had accurately depicted Thevar men born to rule and proud bearers of village values.

Angered by the rejection, Murali turns into a local rowdy. He causes trouble in his district and comes to the attention of a notorious smuggler and murderer, Vicky (Sathyaraj) and his partner Anand (Rajeev). After initial conflict between the two, Vicky recruits rowdy Murali into his gang. Murali becomes his most trusted member. He grows intimate with a girl, Anita (Madhavi), who is looking for personal revenge against Anand.
