After the super success of BOMBAY, director Mani Ratnam ventures into another controversial film,IRUVAR. It traces the life of two people, Anandan (played by Mohanlal) and Selvam (Prakash Raj). Anandan is a budding actor who wants to make it big on the silver screen. Selvam is a writer with strong affiliations to a political party. Selvam scripts the debut movie of Anandan and this brings the two close together. The film goes on to trace their relationship. Anandan also joins the same political party and in due course of time nurses political ambitions as well.This leads to a rift between the two. Selvam becomes the Chief minister of Tamilnadu and Anandan is thrown out of the party. He forms his starts his own party and captures power .The film ends with Anandan's death.
Though we are told that this is not a true story ,it is obvious that this is fully inspired by the life and times of MGR and K. KARUNANITHI. All the characters in the movie resemble some real life character and it takes some time to identify them. Mohanlal plays MGR while Prakashraj is Karunanithi. Aishwaria plays JJ, Nassar plays Anna, Delhi Ganesh resembles RM.VEERAPPAN and Major Sundarrajan plays DGP.Mohandass.
