What happens

Thirumalai is a 2003 Indian Tamil-language romantic action film written and directed by Ramana and produced by Kavithalayaa Productions. The film stars Vijay and Jyothika, alongside Manoj K. Jayan, Avinash Yelandur, Vivek, Raghuvaran, Kausalya and Karunas. The music was composed by Vidyasagar, while cinematography and editing were handled by R. Rathnavelu and Suresh Urs. The film was released on 24 October 2003, coinciding with Diwali. Thirumalai became a box-office success and completed more than 100 days in theatres. It became a turning point in Vijay's career, marking his transformation into an action hero from a romantic once.
