Plot
Kannan and Saradha are married. He helps bring up his brother's children. Kannan obtains employment hiding his marriage with Mohanasundaram only for his daughter, paraplegic Radha, to fall in love with him. How he deftly handles the situation without losing his job or affecting the faint-hearted Radha without losing his integrity forms the main story. He manages to resolve all issues and expose his marriage in such a manner that everyone is safe as is his job.
Production
Naan Yen Pirandhen is a remake of the 1953 Telugu film Bratuku Teruvu. It was the only film to feature Ramachandran in a family-oriented role. The dialogues were written by Vietnam Veedu Sundaram.[1] Kamal Haasan worked as an assistant dance choreographer under K. Thangappan.[2]
Soundtrack
The music was composed by Shankar–Ganesh.[3] [4] They said they chose to do the film simply because Ramachandran was in it.[5]
