After his mother is murdered, he has no other option than begging to earn his bread. He was supposed to study well and get into some good job as per his mother’s wish. In every other aspect, ‘Kokki’ Kumar is an opportunist. He had nailed it meticulously and it was a wow-some stellar performance by him sad that he was not recognized with even a single notable award for this film. We do not see Dhanush not even in a single scene, it was ‘Kokki’ Kumar who sparkles all through the film such a great casting and direction by the team! Dhanush was blessed to get such a role in the initial stages of his career itself, which had great scope for performance.

It is the brilliant characterizations of ‘Kokki’ Kumar, Anbu, Moorthy and Thamizhselvan by Selvaraghavan and extra-ordinary dialogues by Balakumaran which pulls us into this mysterious dark world of gangsters. As the caption ‘Survival of the Fittest’ says, it is the story of a Wolf hunting a goat and the Lion hunting the Wolf. Of course, ‘ Pudhupettai’ is the story of a young innocent boy’s transformation into a cunning and ruthless gangster. We have seen many interesting politician characters in the antagonist roles in Tamil cinema such as Ammaavaasai (Amaidhi Padai), Aranganathan (Mudhalvan) and Selvanayagam (Aayutha Ezhuthu) Thamizhselvan from ‘ Pudhupettai’ is one memorable character among them. We have another important character in the film – politician Thamizhselvan ( this role was essayed in such an astounding way by Azhagam Perumal, which was his first film as an actor). Be it Mani or the local goon head & politician Anbu, every character was very-well established and the detailing on their relationship with ‘Kokki’ Kumar was perfectly etched. We never got to see such a lead fame character, who is a call girl by profession. It was the first time we saw a hero’s introduction scene where he pisses in his pants in the fear that his father is going to kill him. ‘ Pudhupettai’ was so fresh and its characters and the play were new to the audience.

‘ Pudhupettai’ was very much unique as a gangster film with its raw treatment and inimitable characters. Tamil cinema had seen many gangsters film earlier – the classic ‘Nayagan’, the evergreen ‘Thalapathi’ and the massive ‘Baashaa’. That way ‘ Pudhupettai’ became a special film since its announcement the caption ‘Survival of the Fittest’ was intriguing indeed! Until then, the genre ‘romance’ was considered as Selvaraghavan’s forte and he had not done any films out of that genre. In a couple of months, Selvaraghavan’s next film was finalized it was ‘ Pudhupettai’ – a gangster film with Dhanush playing the lead role. Later, he announced his next film titled ‘Oru Naal Oru Kanavu’ with Dhanush and Sonia Agarwal, which was also shelved in the initial days of shoot itself.

‘7G Rainbow Colony’ was celebrated much more critically and commercially, since it had won millions of youngsters’ hearts reflecting their teenage love / first love it was a romantic drama film that was close to the heart of most youngsters in that period! Following the humongous success and Blockbuster verdict of ‘7G Rainbow Colony’ in both Tamil and Telugu versions, Selvaraghavan was supposed to narrate one of his scripts to Actor Ajith but that did not happen. It was in the year 2004 – Director Selvaraghavan delivered his hattrick hit directorial ‘7G Rainbow Colony’, after the highly successful ‘Thulluvatho Ilamai’ and ‘Kaadhal Konden’.
