Ejamaan
Ejamaan is a 1993 Tamil romantic drama film directed by R. V. Udhayakumar. It stars Rajinikanth, Meena and Napoleon in the lead roles. It was a box office success and completed a 100days run in theaters.
After the success of Chinna Gounder, Udayakumar was approached by various producers but he was unsure as to who should play the part of the hero for his next film. Subsequently, he decided to cast Rajini as the hero for his next film. Rajini agreed to act under the direction of Udayakumar. The director expressed his interest to make this film for AVM Productions. Initially, a different script titled Jilla Collector was narrated but Udaykumar subsequently opted to film a different script altogether, since AVM Saravanan had felt that the original script might go over budget. The actress Meena was selected as the heroine. Rajini was initially reluctant to have her as the heroine because she had appeared as a child artist for his film Anbulla Rajinikanth and he felt that his fans might not readily accept this pairing. But he eventually agreed to have Meena play the part. Ejamaan was Rajinis 141st film and his 8th collaboration with AVM Productions.Chinna Gounder and Ejamaan had started the trend of portrayals of village chieftain in films. The success of the films inspired similar themes including Nattamai 1994, Marumalarchi 1998. ........
