Produced by Ameer, he stars as the titular protagonist alongside Madhumitha, Swathi, Vincent Asokan, Ponvannan, lyricist Snehan (in his acting debut), and Ganja Karuppu. An uncredited remake of the 2005 South African film Tsotsi, the film was written and produced by Ameer himself, and features musical score composed by Yuvan Shankar Raja. The film follows Yogi, a slum-dwelling criminal who makes a living from murder and robbery. When police chase him during a robbing spree, he steals a woman's car and succeeds in fleeing. His life changes when he realizes there is a baby in the car, and he cannot let go of it, even though he attempts to do so while abandoning the getaway car. Launched in 2007, Yogi was released theatrically on 27 November 2009. The same year, it was showcased at the 6th Dubai International Film Festival.
