Bodinayakkanur Ganesan (2011)

Bodinayakkanur Ganesan is a 2011 Tamil rural drama set in the town of Bodinayakkanur in the Theni hills. Harikumar plays the title character, a brash local youth who spends his time drinking and brawling until he falls for a girl played by Arundhati, and Soori, before his rise as a major comedian, supplies humour. Love, family pressure and violence collide in the style of the realistic village films popular in Tamil cinema at the time. It is known in Hindi as Raja The Boss.
