Plot

The story opens in Karaikudi, where Gouravam is a well-known traditional cook making a living undertaking orders for marriage functions. He is forced into taking an order for a local goon's wedding and is not happy about it. Saravanan and his four friends, who come to work for him as junior cooks, offer to help him but land him in even greater trouble and they are forced to flee from Karaikudi.

The story shifts to Trichy, where Saravanan and his friends have grand plans of opening a restaurant with the help of Gouravam and his money. Here, just like in Malaikottai, it is love at first sight for Saravanan when he sees Aishwarya. Things go wrong and as their love deepens we are introduced to two rival gangs, Kasi and Manaa along with a ‘Madurai Anachi’ who are constantly at each other's throat.

In a conflict Manaa forces Aishwarya to marry him and in the process of saving his love Saravanan reveals his past. Saravanan is a jail returnee who had killed three people in Madurai including Anachi's only son, to avenge the murder of an orphan kid whom Saravanan considered his little sister. The rest of the story is how Saravanan protects his love and defeat his foes.

He completed RSA Grade 8 in both piano and music theory through Trinity College London, and obtained a degree in classical composition and film scoring under Australian Composer Lindsay Vickery at the LASALLE College of the Arts, Singapore. He received an offer to compose music for animations as an in-house composer, and worked there for two years. In 2000, he set up his own studio and over the next six years composed for over 700 ads.

Born on August 20, 1980, in Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu, he watched Yanni perform a televised show at the Taj Mahal as a child. The experience inspired Ghibran to pursue music, and he began playing keyboard after moving moving to Chennai with his family as a teenager. He later relocated to Singapore and, in 2000, opened his own studio, where he created music for more than 700 ads. Several years later, he returned to India and began working with film director A. Sarkunam, who had scored a hit with his directorial debut, Kalavani. Sarkunam hired Ghibran to write the music for his follow-up film, Vaagai Sooda Vaa, which was released in 2011 and received nominations for "Best Music Director" from the Vijay Awards, the South Indian International Movie Awards, the Filmfare Awards South, and the Mirchi Music Awards. From there, Ghibran's career as a film composer flourished. His soundtrack for the 2014 film Thirumanam Enum Nikkah was named "Best Album of the Year" by the Mirchi Music Awards South, while Run Raja Run — also released in 2014 — marked his first time composing music in the Telugu language. One year later, he earned critical acclaim for his work on Uttama Villain, whose Tamil-language songs "Iraniyan Naadagam" and "Kaadhalaam" both won Diamond Awards from the International Independent Film Awards. By 2019, he was also composing music in Hindi and Malayalam, making him a multi-lingual songwriter. He remained prolific during the 2020s, spearheading the soundtracks for Maara, Kasada Thapara, Maha, and Pagaivanuku Arulvai in 2021 alone.
