What happens

Anbukku Naan Adimai (transl. I am a slave to love) is a 1980 Indian Tamil-language action drama film directed by R. Thyagarajan and produced under the Devar Films banner by C. Dhandayuthapani. It stars Rajinikanth, Rati, Vijayan, and Sujatha. The film was simultaneously made in Telugu as Mayadari Krishnudu (transl.  Mischievous Krishna), with Sreedhar replacing Vijayan and a slightly different supporting cast. It was the third venture of Rajinikanth and Devar Films together and was a hit in the box office. It was remade in Hindi as Thanedaar (1990). (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
