Munian (R. K.) is the innocent-turned-underworld dada. The naive youngster from a remote village becomes a dreaded dada who could fix anyone and anything for money. He spends the money to treat a girl who is in coma for six months. Who is that girl and why does he spend money for her?
The girl, Thamarai (Divya Padmini), is the daughter of a rich man (Ilavarasu) in Muniyan's native place. The rich man gives shelter to Muniyan at his earlier age after the death of his parents. Munian is given the responsibility of taking care of Thamarai. He takes the job very seriously and gets trained in martial arts just to protect her in any circumstance. A unique bond develops between them. Though it is not love, everyone suspects it to be love, and hence Munian is sent out of the village to save the girl. However, the girl doesn't want to get parted with him. She secretly follows him, and both of them get into an unexpected trouble in Chennai.
The turn of events puts the girl in a hospital and makes Munian a gangster. Munian however, has some values and hence becomes an associate to an honest ACP P. Easwara Moorthy (Karthik), who wants to eliminate the rowdies with Munian's help. The officer sends Ashwini (Sadha) in the disguise of an orphan to Munian's gang just to keep him under check.
Munian gets entangled with too many things before he could save his master's daughter. There are many players operating at different levels including the cricket crazy Govindan (Mansoor Ali Khan), who is involved in supplying girls to the rich, and Senthil (M. S. Bhaskar), a dreaded gangster. How he tackles everyone and achieves his goal forms the crux of the story.
In 2010, P. Vasu announced that he would work with R. K. in a new project called Puli Vesham produced by R. K. himself.[3] Sadha was selected as heroine which marked her comeback in Tamil cinema.[4][5] Veteran actor Karthik was selected to play a police officer.[6]
