Arunachalam tells the story of an orphan (Rajinikanth) who runs a small eatery. He is content, honest, and fiercely protective of his adoptive family. The plot kicks into high gear when a sacred temple idol goes missing. Through a series of comical and dramatic events, Arunachalam is mistaken for a wealthy heir and a divine messenger. The film’s climax, where Rajinikanth appears as Lord Vishnu to deliver justice, is considered one of the most iconic scenes in his career.
Arunachalam was made on a budget of approximately ₹4 crore (a massive sum in 1997). This money came from producers, distributors, and theater owners. When you watch the film on Tamilyogi: Arunachalam Tamil Movie Tamilyogi
