Naan Avanillai is a 1974 Indian Tamil-language film produced by Gemini Ganesan, who also stars in the lead role and served as the director and writer for this movie.
The plot revolves around a modern-day Don Juan who woos several women under distinct identities he creates. The story culminates with him being taken to court on charges related to his actions, yet no one is able to uncover his true identity due to his fluency in multiple languages.
In the final scene within jail, the police inspector slaps him, mistakenly believing that because he speaks different languages, he must be capable of uttering Sanskrit.
The film was commercially successful and received critical acclaim. Gemini Ganesan won the Filmfare Award for Best Actor – Tamil. It was later remade into a 2007 Tamil film with the same title and a 2008 Kannada film titled Buddhivantha.
