Shankar conceived the film in mid-2003 during the post-production period of his previous film, <a href="/wiki/Boys_(2003_film)" title="Boys (2003 film)">Boys</a>. He based the film on his own life experiences during his formative years when he was disturbed by what he saw around him, and his eventual displeasure with the society. Pre-production for Anniyan began in November 2003 and <a href="/wiki/Principal_photography" title="Principal photography">principal photography</a> in March 2004. The making of the film, which included numerous production delays, took 14 months.

The film was notable for its recreation of the <a href="/wiki/Tyagaraja_Aradhana" title="Tyagaraja Aradhana">Tyagaraja Aradhana</a> music festival and the extensive use of time slice photography in an action sequence. Cinematographer <a href="/wiki/V._Manikandan" title="V. Manikandan">V.

Vijayan</a> (editing), <a href="/wiki/Sabu_Cyril" title="Sabu Cyril">Sabu Cyril</a> (production design), and <a href="/wiki/Peter_Hein" title="Peter Hein">Peter Hein</a> (action choreography), and the soundtrack was composed by <a href="/wiki/Harris_Jayaraj" title="Harris Jayaraj">Harris Jayaraj</a>, who was in his first collaboration with the director. The film was touted as the director's <a href="/wiki/Masterpiece" title="Masterpiece">magnum opus</a> and was budgeted at ₹263.8 million, making it at the time of its release the most expensive <a href="/wiki/Cinema_of_South_India" title="Cinema of South India">Indian film</a> ever made. Notably, it was the first South Indian film to obtain institutional finance, and it had the highest insurance coverage available for films at that time. Originally filmed in Tamil, and released simultaneously in the four South Indian states on 10 June 2005, Anniyan was dubbed into <a href="/wiki/Telugu_language" title="Telugu language">Telugu</a> as Aparichithudu and <a href="/wiki/Hindi" title="Hindi">Hindi</a> as Aparichit, was released a year later on 19 May 2006. Anniyam received generally positive reviews from critics for its social theme and grand picturisation and action scenes. It became a commercial success across South India.

Ambi's efforts to raise civic awareness fail due to a general lack of seriousness and widespread corruption. Frustrated, Ambi's suppressed anger manifests as an <a href="/wiki/Alter_ego" title="Alter ego">alter ego</a> called Anniyan, a <a href="/wiki/Death_(personification)" class="mw-redirect" title="Death (personification)">grim reaper</a>-themed vigilante, who seeks out corrupt and indifferent individuals in order to eliminate them. Anniyan creates a website, where he compiles a list of wrongdoers and kills them using punishments described in the ancient <a href="/wiki/Hinduism" title="Hinduism">Hindu</a> scripture <a href="/wiki/Garuda_Purana" title="Garuda Purana">Garuda Purana</a>. Ambi secretly loves his neighbour named Nandini, a medical student and an aspiring <a href="/wiki/Carnatic_music" title="Carnatic music">Carnatic</a> singer, but never expresses his feelings due to fear of rejection. When Ambi gets the courage to propose Nandini during the annual <a href="/wiki/Tyagaraja_Aradhana" title="Tyagaraja Aradhana">Thyagaraja Aradhana</a> with the help of his friend, <a href="/wiki/Sub-inspector" title="Sub-inspector">SI</a> Chari, she rejects him as she cannot bear his overbearing nature and constant complaining and nitpicking. Distraught, Ambi attempts suicide, almost drowning himself before having second thoughts. Subsequently, Ambi develops another personality named Remo, a metrosexual fashion model. Nandini becomes smitten with Remo and falls in love with him. While purchasing a plot of land for her <a href="/wiki/Dowry_system_in_India" title="Dowry system in India">dowry</a>, Nandini undervalues the property to evade <a href="/wiki/Stamp_duty" title="Stamp duty">stamp duty</a>. Ambi, who accompanies her to the government office, refuses to help her after learning of her intention to skirt the law. Later, when Nandini and Remo are on a date, Remo transforms into Anniyan and attempts to punish her for her corrupt act. As Anniyan is about to kill her, Nandini calls out for Ambi, and Anniyan reverts back to Ambi, who collapses and loses consciousness. Nandini takes Ambi to <a href="/wiki/National_Institute_of_Mental_Health_and_Neurosciences" title="National Institute of Mental Health and Neurosciences">NIMHANS</a>, where he is diagnosed with <a href="/wiki/Dissociative_identity_disorder" title="Dissociative identity disorder">multiple personality disorder</a>. Through <a href="/wiki/Recovered-memory_therapy" title="Recovered-memory therapy">recovered-memory therapy</a>, Vijaykumar, the chief psychiatrist of NIMHANS, uncovers Ambi's past. When Ambi was ten years old, he witnessed the accidental death of his younger sister, Vidya, due to civic apathy. The incident left a deep emotional scar, which was the reason for his lofty ideals. The psychiatrist realises that although Anniyan and Remo know about Ambi as a separate person, Ambi is oblivious to their existence within him. Vijaykumar declares that Remo will cease to exist if Nandini reciprocates Ambi's feelings, but Anniyan will cease to exist only when society reforms. Nandini accepts Ambi's love and Remo vanishes. Meanwhile, <a href="/wiki/Superintendent_of_Police_(India)" class="mw-redirect" title="Superintendent of Police (India)">DCP</a> Prabhakar and Chari investigate the murders committed by Anniyan. In disguises, they discover clues left behind by Anniyan, which are the names of the punishments he meted out to his victims. Prabhakar is determined personally to punish Anniyan as one of his victims named Chockalingam, an errant catering contractor with the <a href="/wiki/Indian_Railways" title="Indian Railways">Indian Railways</a>, was his elder brother. In a dramatic publicity stunt, Anniyan admits to the murders when he appears amidst the public and the press at the <a href="/wiki/Jawaharlal_Nehru_Stadium_(Chennai)" title="Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium (Chennai)">Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium</a>. Anniyan explains the rationale behind the murders and says that only when every Indian is responsible and sincere can the country can prosper on par with developed nations. His methods draw both praise and criticism. Prabhakar tries to catch Anniyan, but he escapes. On investigating the phone records and <a href="/wiki/IP_address" title="IP address">IP address</a> of Anniyan's internet activity, Prabhakar discovers that the connection belongs to Ambi. Upon further analysis of security footage of Anniyan's public appearance, Ambi's face gets revealed under the hood. Prabhakar arrests Ambi and subjects him to a <a href="/wiki/Polygraph" title="Polygraph">polygraph test</a> to make him confess to his crimes. The officers see that he is telling the truth and is oblivious to killing anyone, believing in his innocence. Prabhakar gets enraged, so he orders all the officers and Chari to leave and begins brutally attacking and tormenting Ambi alone with Garuda Puranam punishments. Ambi is eventually thrown into a saltwater tank by Prabhakar. When a traumatised Ambi begs for mercy, Prabhakar mockingly uses the rapid cooling system and makes the water extremely cold, where it becomes ice, so that Ambi will freeze to death. The near-death experience and pain trigger Anniyan's reappearance. Ambi's personality alternates between him and Anniyan; he brutally subdues Prabhakar as Anniyan while begging for mercy as himself. When Ambi gets tried for several murders, Vijaykumar testifies to Ambi's mental condition. Chari also secretly recorded Ambi's interrogation and torture at Prabhakar's hands and presented it as evidence of Ambi's mental state. Ambi is acquitted but is directed to undergo <a href="/wiki/Psychotherapy" title="Psychotherapy">psychotherapy</a> in a mental hospital and will be eligible for release when cured. When Ambi is released two years later, his rigid adherence to protocol has diminished and he appears more open and accommodating. He marries Nandini, and while travelling on a train during their honeymoon, Ambi notices a man (an electrician who was indirectly responsible for his sister's death several years ago) drinking among fellow passengers. Moving himself and Nandini away from the man, he secretly transforms into Anniyan and throws the man off the train, thus killing him. However, Ambi hides the incident from Nandini, revealing that instead of eradicating his other personality, the two have blended into one identity. <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Cast">Cast</h2>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Anniyan&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Cast">edit</a>]</div> <style data-mw-deduplicate="TemplateStyles:r1184024115">.mw-parser-output .div-col{margin-top:0.3em;column-width:30em}.mw-parser-output .div-col-small{font-size:90%}.mw-parser-output .div-col-rules{column-rule:1px solid #aaa}.mw-parser-output .div-col dl,.mw-parser-output .div-col ol,.mw-parser-output .div-col ul{margin-top:0}.mw-parser-output .div-col li,.mw-parser-output .div-col dd{page-break-inside:avoid;break-inside:avoid-column}</style><div class="div-col" style="column-width: 25em;min-width: min(25em, 100%);"> <ul><li><a href="/wiki/Vikram_(actor)" title="Vikram (actor)">Vikram</a> as Ramanujam "Ambi" Iyengar, Anniyan and Remo <ul><li><a href="/wiki/Viraj_(actor)" title="Viraj (actor)">Viraj</a> as young "Ambi"</li></ul></li> <li><a href="/wiki/Sadha" title="Sadha">Sadha</a> as Nandhini Krishnan, Ambi's love interest turned wife (<a href="/wiki/Voice-over" title="Voice-over">Voice dubbed</a> by <a href="/wiki/Kaniha" title="Kaniha">Kaniha</a>)</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Prakash_Raj" title="Prakash Raj">Prakash Raj</a> as <a href="/wiki/Deputy_Commissioner_of_Police_(India)" class="mw-redirect" title="Deputy Commissioner of Police (India)">DCP</a> Prabhakar</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Vivek_(actor)" title="Vivek (actor)">Vivek</a> as <a href="/wiki/Sub-Inspector" class="mw-redirect" title="Sub-Inspector">SI</a> Chari, Ambi's best friend</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Nedumudi_Venu" title="Nedumudi Venu">Nedumudi Venu</a> as Parthasarathy Iyengar (Voice dubbed by S.N Surendar)</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Nassar_(actor)" title="Nassar (actor)">Nassar</a> as Dr. Vijay Kumar</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Cochin_Haneefa" title="Cochin Haneefa">Cochin Haneefa</a> as Ramanathan (cameo)</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Kalabhavan_Mani" title="Kalabhavan Mani">Kalabhavan Mani</a> as Ponnambalam (cameo)</li> <li>Sairam Sukumaran as P.

The team at VCL conceptualised and created a 'hell' in 3d animation with the punishments taken from ancient scriptures. They also designed a grim reaper astride his bull who guides visitors through hell. Pankaj Khandpur, creative director of VCL said, "We tried to stay true to the scriptures, while creating imagery that wasn't too gory.
