What happens

Nayagan (transl. Hero) is a 2008 Indian Tamil language action film directed by Saravana Sakthi, produced by Chakya Celluloid, and written by Vijaykumar Reddy. The film stars J. K. Rithesh, Ramana, Sangeetha, Keerthi Chawla, Anita Hassanandani, and Anandaraj. It features guest appearances in item numbers by Anita Hassanandani and Rachana Maurya. The music was composed by Mariya Manohar. The film released on 22 August 2008, was a direct remake of the Tamil film Vegam (2007) which itself was an uncredited remake of the 2004 American film Cellular. Nayagan was not a success, but Rithesh gained significant attention due to the film's extensive marketing. The film was released in Telugu as Ankusam. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
