Kanniah (Prakashraj) is a spirited actor with a will to make it big in movies. Though he is beyond normal feelings like friendship, care, loyalty and sharing, Kanniah is absolutely good at faking them. His ambition and focus are so strong that he is ready to do anything to achieve success and stardom. His brash and harsh ways irritate and annoy everyone around him. In short, rustic, this uncouth and an absolute bore is not company one wants to keep.

Saravanan (Prithviraj) is a budding director, stuck in his apprenticeship phase. He too, wants to make it big in cinema. His ambition is backed by an innate ability and a natural inclination to work hard. As fledgling members of the film community, both share a dingy space. Saravanan endures Kanniah's self-praise and trumpeting, patiently brushing aside his insistence to be cast as a hero. Saravanan wants to achieve success at least for the sake of Mythili (Gopika), his long-term lover and a sensible actress.

One fine day, Saravanan goes to Hyderabad to attend a story-session. Kanniah casually bumps into producer Balaji (Sarathbabu) and puts forward another application for a hero's role. There, a dicey plan takes shape. When Saravanan returns from Hyderabad, much to everyone's surprise, Kanniah is already a few steps ahead in the slippery path of stardom. He renames himself Dilip Kanth with a luring Thalapathy sound and trendy hero scruples.
