him, it would be a laughing stock

You are acting serious

but everyone is laughing

In the next scene

I'll shoot a guy,

You see everyone

would be shocked

Cry man, cry out loud

He made me a fool

Roll camera

Do it

Hey, do it man

Listen to me carefully

Did you speak this dialogue?

What I spoke in that

scene was different

It's not even my voice

They have added it separately

Oh, you can add things

later to the movie is it?

Why are you crying, sir?

Awesome, how did you?

Awesome, man

Everyone in the audience is

gonna enjoy every minute of it

First he cut the call,

Now it's switched off

The song was different when we

shot, now it is something else

I have never seen people

laughing so much for a song

It seems like a magic

It is our fault, not knowing

what could be made in cinema

Light it and cry

Light it...and cry

Now light it and cry

Hit your head and cry

Jump crying from there

Come, let's go

He ditched us

Eating my food, under my roof,

with my story, look what he did

That's why they never

to trust the educated

- Great job

- Superb

- Mom

- Movie is very good

Tell me, sir

Acted like a buffoon

feeling ashamed

- Tell me, boss

- Sethu...

Awesome, buddy

You made Sethu a joker,

the comedy king of the decade

- Thank you, sir

- I hope your next movie with me

Hey I'm flying to Singapore tonight

You guys too be safe, don't get caught

If we get caught,

that's it

This movie is breaking genre

and trends set here

A comedy gangster flick

"Azhuguni Kumar" (Crybaby Kumar)

How did you get the idea?

People are scared of these

murderers and killers

With a story of such

a violent murderer...

I wanted to make

everyone laugh

In fact most of these rowdies

will look like a joker up close

Just thought of showing that

How did you find the lead,

looked really funny on screen?

We were looking for

a guy who looks comical

An apt face

for Azukuni Kumar,

Of the 1000 faces I saw,

he fitted perfectly for the title

The gang in chennai is in the lookout,

but they all went hiding

Our biggest assets is

the fear people have seeing us

Have lost that all in one day

Find Karthik and kill him

Kill him with my hands

There is no one in this house

Looks like locked for while

Where is Oorni?

It's been 2 weeks

since sir went abroad

You guys are staging

a drama here

He is not there

10 lakh if Sethu should come

It is fine but you finish

the deal, don't need Sethu

If he comes, everyone would burst into

laughter and no one would take it serious

- He is coming

- Is he the one?

- Where is Karthi

- I don't know brother

They have thrashed him

at the Temple

He's is safe for now, has requested

and extended his stay in the hospital

Your parents have

reached Bombay safely

Speak to them

Why are we running and hiding?

What did I do wrong?

What didn't you?

He started beating people cause someone

laughed at him in a school drama

Now everyone is laughing at him

Because of you

I didn't pull him into this

He forced me to do it

It's me who should chase

and him for this state

We've got to do something

What can we do?

We caught a reporter

once and took him to...

- Where was that?

- Sugarcane field

Took him there and

planned to burn him alive

If you had shown this

2 months back...

...there would have been

no need to even make that movie

Just had a thought

about the evidences

What is the plan?

I spoke to ACP Raman

This proof is enough

We need to get this

to Dindigul police tomorrow

Dindigul? Why don't we go

to Madurai only? It's risky

Sethu is not a gang lord for

the police to come and collect the proof

We have to go for our needs

Don't worry they are

looking for you in Chennai

That's why you are

hiding here near Madurai

It is better to hide beneath

the enemy than across him

But we can't stay hidden forever

Its been a week since my kid

was born, haven't seen him yet

Don't worry just another 10 days

Will Sethu forget everything

in 10 days?

No he'll be forever gone

They have burned the reporter alive,

will the police leave him?

ACP said if the proof is good,

he can move and get the order

- What order?

- What else?

For encountering Sethu

They will kill him?

Let him die

Every show they are

talking about Sethu

Yeah

This A.Kumar has become

the undeniable king of comedy

Have you gone mad?

Why are acting crazy?

Yes, they have made me crazy

The whole world is making fun of me

and you both are having your laughs

Its not like that Sethu,

all big stars are praising you

Have you ever had the courage

to talk in front of me?

Where did you

get the guts to talk?

You have lost the fear

for me, right?

That's why all this,

do I look funny to you?

Stop this, hitting women

If you are stuck here in this house,

they will make you a joker for real

We have got close to Karthik,

We'll find him 2 days

What happened now?

We'll murder some

and get our name back

Ponram's dad expired it seems,

just got the news

The funeral is in Dindigul house

The duet song in the A.Kumar film

is the talk of the town

More than 5 million viewers

have seen this song on YouTube

The trend setting song and the comedy

performance of the hero becomes-

Sethu...?

Let's enjoy the song

Sethu...hey Sethu

Fetch some water for me

Would they kill everyone?

I don't know about all

but Sethu for sure

Is that really needed?

Isn't it wrong?

You prefer to die

in their hands?

Its a game of cat and mouse

We have to play cat,

like they taught us

Everything is right for survival

What is that for?

Just for safety, uncle gave it

We don't need that

Once he ruled

the whole Dindigul

What did he rule?

Does this look

like a king's funeral?

Not even a single soul that lurked

in his shadows turned to his funeral

We mistake all

the fear for respect

There are a lot who are

happy that he's gone

A coffee with less sugar

He is the hero

of the movie A.Kumar

You were the actor

in AKumar movie right?

Yes, Sethu was the hero in that

Heard the movie is doing well

Have to watch it

after all this is over

Watched the movie, it was so awesome

You have done a great job

The whole movie

was a laugh riot

Your dance

and fight was excellent

I told you right, he's that hero

Stop the car

Reverse it

I think this police

business is not needed

Everything that happened

was in our favor, isn't it?

Don't keep repeating the same

If you feel like helping me,

just keep quiet

We won't get caught

don't worry

They'll never leave us in peace

Just a minute

- Who's that?

- Sounder's wife

We saw your movie

it was good

We haven't gone out

anywhere since his death

But last week your people

forced us to go watch it in theaters

I laughed after a long time

She has become your fan

watching the movie

She wanted to watch it again,

took her again the next day

You wanted to say

something right, say it

Tell him, he has to leave

Uncle you had danced well

and fights were nice
