Nayakan
Nayakan ( also known as Nayagan; transl. The Hero) is a 1987 Indian Tamil-language epic crime drama film directed by Mani Ratnam who wrote the screenplay, with dialogues by Balakumaran. Produced by Muktha Films, the film stars Kamal Haasan and Saranya Ponvannan (in her feature debut), with Karthika, Janagaraj, Vijayan, M. V. Vasudeva Rao, Delhi Ganesh, Nizhalgal Ravi and Nassar in supporting roles. It revolves around the evolution of Velu Naicker (Haasan) from an ordinary slum dweller to a highly respected crime lord in the Bombay underworld. Nayakan is loosely based on the life of the Bombay underworld don Varadarajan Mudaliar and the American film The Godfather (1972). Ratnam was initially approached to remake the Hindi film Pagla Kahin Ka (1970) for Srinivasan and Haasan, but refused. He instead suggested two other stories, one of which impressed Haasan and became Nayakan. Cinematography was handled by P. C. Sreeram, art direction by Thota Tharani and editing by B. Lenin and V. T. Vijayan...
