Poojai
Poojai (transl. Prayer) is a 2014 Indian Tamil-language action thriller film directed by Hari and produced by Vishal. The film stars Vishal, alongside Shruti Haasan, Sathyaraj, Radhika Sarathkumar, Mukesh Tiwari, Awadesh Mishra and Soori. Yuvan Shankar Raja composed the music, while cinematography and editing were handled by Priyan and V. T. Vijayan.
Principal photography began on 18 April 2014.
Poojai was released on 22 October 2014, on the occasion of Diwali, to mixed reviews from critics. The film was remade in Kannada as Anjani Putra (2017).
Vasudevan "Vasu" is the heir of Kovai Group, a cloth manufacturing company in Coimbatore. Due to a misunderstanding, Vasu gets disowned by his mother and matriarch of his joint family Rajalakshmi. Years later, Vasu is now working as a moneylender and lives a normal life with his friends Kutti Puli and Pandi, where he also falls in love with a rich girl named Divya. At a theatre, Vasu saves a newly transferred ASP Sivakkozhundhu and his wife from a group of North Indian killers who work for Anna Thandavam, a Pollachi-based businessman and hitman as Sivakkozhundhu was transferred to investigate Anna Thandavam's client case.
Anna Thandavam also plans to illegally grab land a village temple, which was planned to be gifted by Vasu's late father Rathnaswamy. These two incidents cause enmity between Vasu and Anna Thandavam. When the land is formally gifted to the temple, an irate Anna Thandavam orders his henchman to assault Vasu's uncle Ramaswamy. Rajalakshmi realizes her mistake of misunderstanding Vasu and reunites with him. Vasu learns about the incident and thrashes Anna Thandavam's henchmen and breaks his hand. Anna Thandavam tries to attack Vasu, but Vasu brutally thrashes him in full view of public, which goes viral online.
Assisted by Sivakkozhundhu and Divya, Vasu subdues Anna Thandavam's attempts to destroy his family by capturing the North Indian killers, leading to arrest warrant on Anna Thandavam. During the temple festival, Anna Thandavam's second wife kills Rajalakshmi with a venomous knife, while Anna Thandavam rushes to Patna. Learning of Rajalakshmi's death, Vasu rushes to Patna and tracks down Anna Thandavam and his hitman friend Rai Bahadur, where he brutally finishes them, thus avenging Rajalakshmi's death. Vasu returns home to mourn Rajalakshmi's death with Divya and his family.
In December 2013, Vishal told that he would produce and feature in a film which would be directed by Hari and that the pair would collaborate again after the success of their previous venture, Thaamirabharani (2007). Hari had described the film as a "triangular action story" which starts in Coimbatore and ends in Patna, while revealing Yuvan Shankar Raja had already completed composing the film's songs before production commenced. The film was officially launched on 28 March 2014, with a press release naming the film's cast and crew. Yuvan Shankar Raja was selected to compose the music for the film, while Priyan and V. T. Vijayan were confirmed to be the cinematographer and the editor of the film respectively. Shruti Hassan was also selected to do costume designing.
Early reports in December had suggested that Shruti Haasan would be signed on to play the film's heroine, though she only confirmed her participation in March 2014. Sathyaraj and Soori were added to the cast to play supporting roles, while actress Kausalya was announced to be making a comeback with the film starring alongside other supporting actresses. The team approached Rekha to play Vishal's mother in the film, but her unavailability meant that the team later cast Radhika Sarathkumar instead. Prathap Pothen and Janaki Sabesh were also selected to play Shruti Haasan's parents. Andrea Jeremiah was selected to make a cameo appearance in a folk song. Sathyaraj sported a bald look for this film thanks to his simultaneous shoot for S. S. Rajamouli's Baahubali (2015) and his role was said to be "very powerful" and also the "suspense element of the film". Bhojpuri actor Awadhesh Mishra was selected to play an gangster in the film which marks his debut in Tamil cinema. Vaibhav Reddy was selected for an important role in the film, but his role was not a part of the film. Vinay Bihari, who is the Youth, Arts and Culture Minister of Bihar, was selected to play the role of a district collector in the film's climatic portions when he expressed his interest in acting to Hari when he was in Bihar for location scouting. Barath Raj, who has won Mr. India and the second runner up 2014 title, played a crucial role of collector's son from Bihar. Abhinaya was selected to play a supporting role, while Mukesh Tiwari was selected to play the main antagonist.
