Nayagan (1987) film written and directed by Mani Ratnam. Nayagan means 'The Hero' or 'The Leader' in Tamil.
Nayagan has been called "The Godfather" of Tamil cinema, as it portrays the life of an underworld don in Bombay (now Mumbai). While the film draws inspiration from "The Godfather trilogy", it is well adapted to an Indian scenario. The story is based on the life of a real underworld don called "Varada" or Varadarajan Mudaliar. The film sympathetically depicts the struggle of South Indians living in Mumbai.
The don is played by the actor Kamal Haasan. The cast also includes Saranya, Karhtika, Nasser, Delhi Ganesh and Janagaraj. The film music was composed by Ilaiyaraaja, a well-known music director for Tamil films. The film also went on to win an Indian National Award for Kamal Haasan for his brilliant performance. Nayagan was nominated by India as its entry for the Best Foreign Language Film for the Academy Awards in 1987.
