Karthik (Vishal Krishna)
is a lazy, jobless, upper middle-class guy and the only son of his father who
is a bank manager (T. S. B. K. Mouli),
hanging around always with his friends, an auto driver Kumar (Santhanam), a tea-shop owner Shekar (Mayilsamy) and a traffic constable Vishnu (Sathyan). Over-ambitious in his life, he
always wants the best of everything in his life, from pens and clothes to every
other accessories, and has made it a rule to try out everything before zeroing in
on one. Now wanting to choose his best life partner, he applies the same method
and decides to select three girls, whom he would romance at the same time and
make to fall in love with him, then reject two of them and finally marry the
third one.
He comes across Jyothi (Tanushree Dutta), an athlete, living in the
poorer area of Chennai, who has reservations against men and slaps a guy for
touching her inappropriately and is Karthik's first choice. Karthik later
attends a marriage, where he meets Priya (Sarah-Jane Dias), a girl, who strongly
believes in traditional and cultural values and has the policy of loving and
marrying only one boy in her life, Karthik's second candidate. The third one
Karthik selects is Tejaswini (Neetu Chandra), a rich and arrogant girl, heir
to Rs. 1,500 crores, who once had a failed love attempt in her life. Vishal
enters their lives, woos them with lies and finally wins their hearts. The
girls don't know the fact that Karthik is romancing three girls simultaneously
and entirely trust him.
One day, thanks to her caring and understanding father
(Jayaprakash), who doesn't want his daughter to sustain one more love failure,
Tejaswini gets to know about Karthik's plans and intentions and confronts him.
Karthik dumps her and continues to romance Jyothi and Priya, while Tejaswini
vows to take revenge on him. Without revealing her own and Karthik's true
identity and intentions, she befriends the other two girls and gives advice to
each, how to quicken the progress to get married soon, trying to put Karthik
under pressure and blow his cover. Soon Jyothi gets to know the truth,
wherefore he also rejects Jyothi and settles down with Priya as his future
wife, who was responsible for Karthik's change of mind as he has now learnt the
value of true love and realizes his mistakes.
However, as Jyothi's brother, Anbalazhagan (Prakash Raj), a rowdy confronts Karthik that
he has betrayed Jyothi, Karthik himself reveals the truth about himself, his
intentions and the other girls to Priya, who was with him. Downheartedly she
leaves Karthik, who is being beaten up by Anbalazhagan and his gang. Karthik
then causes a traffic accident, getting himself tangled and injured in the
accident, and gets admitted in a hospital, where Dr.Ramya (Sneha) comes for his treatment. He pretends to
have lost his memory due to the accident in order to arouse compassion in
Priya, eventually indeed succeeding in his plan as Priya returns and reunites
with him, believing that he has forgotten the past and would turn over a new
life.

Production
Development
In February 2009, it was reported, that Thiru, who assisted director A. Rajasekhar in
the 2008 police story Sathyam,
that also starred Vishal Krishna would
direct Vishal after the actor had completed his Thoranai.[4] The film was to be produced by
Ramesh Babu, who earlier produced Vijay's blockbuster film Pokkiri.[4] However, as the producer later
walked out of the project, Vishal's brother Vikram Krishna along with his wife Sriya Reddy eventually took up the
project and decided to produce it under their home banner G. K. Films
Corporation.[5]
The film, during pre-production was billed up to be a remake of
the 2007 Hindi film Bachna Ae Haseeno, which also starred
three actresses in lead roles, but the claim proved to be false. Vishal also
denied this, stating that the script is original.[6][7] In January 2010, the film's
distribution rights were acquired by Sun Pictures,[8] which started its promotion
campaign on 2 February 2010, ten day prior to the film's theatrical release.[2]
Casting
After Vishal was confirmed as the lead actor in the film, Thiru
and Vishal were looking for three actresses to play the lead female roles.
Several actresses including Bipasha Basu,[9][10] Reemma Sen,[9] Priyamani,[11] Tamannaah Bhatia[12] and Shriya Saran[11] were approached or even
confirmed, before ultimately opting out again. Finally, Bollywoodactress Neetu Chandra, who starred in the horror film Yavarum Nalam opposite Madhavan and another Bollywood actress Tanushree Dutta, a former Miss India Universe, making her debut in the Tamil film industry,
were confirmed for the roles.[13] For the third female role, a
newcomer Sarah-Jane Dias,
a former Miss India World,
was signed.[14] Additionally, reports claimed
that the film would also have two lead actresses appearing in guest roles as
well.[15] In December 2009, Sneha was roped in to appear in one of
the two cameo roles,[16] whilst the other actress'
identity was not revealed until the film's release.
Filming
The shooting started on August 3 and was held in several locations
as Hyderabad, the Maldives and Kochi.[14] The title song of the film was
shot in Mumbai at sets and choreographed by
Bosco-Caesar, a popular choreographer duo that has worked for over 300 films in Bollywood, made their debut in Tamil with this
film.[17] For the same song, which was
picturized in Vishal and the three leading actresses, Neetu Chandra is said to
have soaked in a bathtub full of red chillies, which is considered one of the
highlights of the entire film.[18] Other songs were filmed in Australia and New Zealand.[5] Furthermore, other songs were
shot across Australia, in both urban and natural backgrounds.
