Dilwala The Real Man (TBA)
TBA ● Hindi ● 2 hrs 42 mins
'Kuselan' is inspired from the unconditional friendship between Lord Krishna, the wealthy king of Dwaraka, and his childhood friend, a man who lived in abject poverty with his large family. Their friendship stands as an archetype to the beauty of this unique relationship since time immemorial.
This modern version revolves around a villager, who had shared a strong friendship with a popular cinema actor in his youth. However, due to their different careers they were forced to part ways, one becoming a national figure, the other, a village barber.
Decades later, the actor returns to the village to participate in his film's shooting. Whilst the entire village become excited about the prospect of seeing the actor, the barber fears that his old friend would have forgotten him and would neglect him. However, when forced by the villagers to renew contact with his childhood friend, the question remains, will the supremely famous and wealthy actor embrace him? Will the humble barber and his family be rescued from abject poverty?

Trivia:
In the original Malayalam version, "Katha Parayumbol", Mukesh's character, the college tutorial was featured. Here in the Tamil version, Director P Vasu has opted that character out for the remake and replaced it by adding in actor Prabhu as the bodyguard of Rajnikanth.

The shooting for the movie lasted 82 days with the versions being shot simultaneously, and most of the movie was shot inside the Ramoji Rao film city, with other destinations including Kerala and Pollachi.
The film was simultaneously made in Telugu as "Kathanayakudu" with a slightly different cast.
The satellite rights of the film were bagged by Kalaignar TV.
