The film opens in the 12th Century where Rangaraja Nambi (Kamal Hassan) a staunch Vaishnavite opposes the removal of Lord Vishnu’s idol by King Kulothunga Chozhan (Nepolean) who is a strong believer of Shiva. Nambi is punished and thrown into the deep sea tied to the idol. His wife Kothai (Asin) also kills herself and then the story cuts to US where Dr Govind ( Kamal) discovers a deadly virus which catches the attention of the government including President George Bush (Kamal). But his boss tries to sell the vial to the enemies and now its the turn of our hero to protect it from causing damage.
Dr Govind is chased by a former CIA agent turned mercenary Keith Fletcher (Kamal) and his Tamil interpreter (Mallika Sherawat) who lands up in Tamilnadu. An array of other characters are drawn into the chase- Balram Naidu (Kamal), the Telugu speaking RAW chief, a Chinese martial arts teacher (Kamal) thirsting to take revenge on Fletcher, Vincent Poovarahan (Kamal) a Dalit activist , Krishnaveni Patti (Kamal), Khalifullah Khan (Kamal) and a Punjabi pop singer Avatar Singh(Kamal). Andal a Brahmin girl is also unwittingly drawn into a long chase. What follows is a cat and mouse game till the climax Tsunami.
It’s actually hard to believe that in this age of experimentation within the commercial format, the director could think of such a moth balled story. The earlier Kamal films in which he played multiple or dual roles like Avvai Shanmukhi, Miachel Madan Kamaraj, Indian where far superior in style and content compared to his latest 10 avataars.
