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.[2] The film was released in Telugu as Ankusam.[3]
Dr. Sandhya Viswanath (Sangeetha) is kidnapped from her home by a gang and taken to another location, where she is questioned about her husband's whereabouts. Though the phone in her room is smashed by the gang's leader (Anandaraj), she manages to put together enough broken pieces to make random calls. One of her calls reaches Sakthi (Ramana), who has his own set of problems since he is on the run after eloping with his uncle's daughter Divya (Keerthi Chawla). Initially reluctant, he agrees to help Sandhya and drops the phone off at a police station. The cop Guru (J. K. Rithesh) talks to her but is distracted by another problem, and so Sandhya has to bank on Shakti again.
