Raman Abdullah

Raman Abdullah is a 1997 Indian Tamil-language comedy film directed by Balu Mahendra.

The film stars Sivakumar, Karan, and Vignesh, and is a remake of the 1994 Malayalam film Malappuram Haji Mahanaya Joji.

Friends Abdullah and Raman go through misadventures to save their face from a strict Hajji.

The film was released on August 22, 1997, but failed at the box office.

Balu Mahendra also wrote, photographed, and edited the film.

Due to schedule clashes with his work in Ullaasam (1997), Vikram was unable to take up a leading role in the film.

A dispute arose between the Tamil Film Producers Council and Film Employees Federation of South India (FEFSI) over the film's production, resulting in an indefinite strike that affected filming.
