In this film, Sathyaraj plays an aging gangster who meets an ordinary coolie (Shanthnu) and trains him to be the next big ganglord to take revenge on his enemies. Shanthnu will dance to the tunes of Srikanth Deva; Suman is the villain and Sana Khan is the heroine.

The music of Aayiram Vilakku was launched in Chennai recently and the latest buzz is that Shanthnu Bhagyaraj has completed his portion of the film.
