Anniyan

Anniyan is a 2005 Indian Tamil-language psychological action thriller film directed by S. Shankar and produced by V. Ravichandran.

The film stars Vikram as Ambi, a law-abiding lawyer who suffers from dissociative identity disorder, and develops two other identities: Remo, a fashion model, and Aparichit, a murderous vigilante seeking to eradicate corruption.

The cast also includes Sadha, Prakash Raj, Vivek, Nedumudi Venu, and Nassar. Pre-production for the film began in November 2003, with principal photography taking place in March 2004.

Principal photography was followed by numerous production delays, which took a total of 14 months to complete. The song sequences were filmed in Mumbai, Malaysia, Amsterdam, while the rest of the film was shot at Hyderabad, Thanjavur, Viluppuram, and Chennai.

The film is based on S. Shankar's own life experiences during his formative years when he was disturbed by what he saw around him and his eventual displeasure with society.
