    the charge of rape and murder of an innocent girl. Jagan's father GMK uses his
    influence and starts creating trouble in Viswanath's life. GMK succeeds in getting
    Viswanath imprisoned on a trumped up charge. His heartbroken mother dies. Once out
    of jail, Viswanath sets out to punish the culprits when he temporarily loses his
    eyesight.

    Production

    Rajinikanth initially wanted to star in a Tamil remake of the Hindi film Vishwanath
    (1978) with S. Ravi producing, but as Ravi did not like the film, they decided to
    collaborate on a different project, eventually choosing to remake the Kannada film
    Premada Kanike (1976) as Polladhavan (1980).[2] Nonetheless, Vishwanath would still
    be remade in Tamil,[3] with S. P. Muthuraman directing and Rajinikanth starring.[4]
    The remake was originally titled Naan Gandhi Alla but, following a court order, was
    retitled Naan Mahaan Alla.[5][6] As a result, the lead character's final dialogue
    was changed to match the new title, although the lip syncing to the original
    dialogue "Naan Gandhi Alla" was not changed.[7]
    Soundtrack

    The music was composed by Ilaiyaraaja and lyrics were written by Vaali.[8]
