The milestone hit film Ghilli starring Thalapathy Vijay and Trisha Krishnan in the lead roles was the official remake of Mahesh Babu starrer film Okkadu. Even though the film was a remake, the treatment of the film, the enriching musical tracks by Vidyasagar, and the charismatic performance put forth by the actors, made this a cult classic in Vijay’s career.

The movie didn't just make the chemistry between Vijay and Trisha famous, but it's mostly known for Prakash Raj's unique and villainous performance. Directed by Dharani, the film is a romantic sports action movie that follows Velu, a state-level Kabaddi player.
