He tells scientist Stephen Raj (Nassar) to clone him so that he can keep concentrating on his business affairs whilst the clone replaces him at home. Savithri (Tamannaah), a college girl doing a research project on Suryaprakash, falls in love with him. Suryaprakash is not interested in Savithri, but marries her because she's a good cook.

Critical reception
Indiaglitz wrote: "Sakthi Chidambaram has used the concept of cloning well to suit the commercial needs of the movie. Sakthi has narrated the tale of motherly sentiment laced with all commercial elements."[3] Sify criticized the film and asked "what the actor and his director was trying to convey through this film — a bit of sleaze and fun or steamy mother sentiments?"[4][5]
