Since Ajith's age is same as her child,which was still born and died and she is childless, Radhika showers maternal affection on Ajith, which Radhika's husband mistakes as something else because of a villain doctor who is a rouge . Confusion ensues and Radhika misunderstands Ajith and the climax is how all confusions are laid to rest, along with the hero!
The title denotes Sanskrit for purity. Ajith Kumar revealed in an interview that his crticially acclaimed role of the film changed his life to an extent and made him take films seriously as a career. Ajith Kumar's character was dubbed for by Shekhar, in his second venture.
