Sivaji (Rajinikant) is a wealthy Software System Architect, who returns to India. With the help of his Uncle Arivu (Vivek) he begins to implement his life-long dream of providing free health care and education for the poor. However, he soon faces a roadblock in the form of a highly affluent and influential business rival Adishesan (Suman). When corruption raises its ugly face Sivaji is left with no option but to challenge the system...with his unique style. Despite its serious subject matter, the film is filled with humour, romance and fast-pace action. With dazzling high definition cinematography, beautiful production values, and a melodious soundtrack by west-end maestro and Oscar winner A.R. Rahman (Slumdog Millionaire) this regional film broke box office records around the globe. It has launched Tamil cinema as a serious competitor against the clichéd Bollywood genre. The film stars “Superstar” Rajinikant, who is one of the highest paid actor in the world. For over 40 years he has entertained the poor and hard working South Indian masses. Known for his screen presence, stylish walks and archetypal mannerisms, Rajinikant makes his debut entry into the blu-ray world to captivate audiences worldwide.
