Plot.
Raja (Prashanth), Sudhakar (Charle), Raghava (Chinni Jayanth), and Marudhu (Vadivelu) are good friends who stay together as tenants at Gandhimathi's house. After being thrown out of the house, they start searching for a new house on rent, but no one is willing to give their house for bachelors. Finally, they come to know a landlady (K. R. Vijaya) in search of a family as her tenants. A plot is hatched by, and all four bachelors dress up to be a family man (Sudhakar), his retarded brother (Raghava), his uncle (Marudhu), and his wife Lakshmi (Raja being the wife). Now, Raja's (who happens to be in a woman's attire) lady love (Suneha - debut) happens to be the landlady's daughter. At one point of time by mistake, the friends inform the landlady that Lakshmi is pregnant. The landlady arranges for Valaikaapu function, followed by a doctor (Vaishnavi) checkup. This bursts into a series of rumbled conflicts, and all hell breaks loose. In a woman's disguise, Raja looking extremely beautiful and his dramatic histrionics, as well as Bharatanatyam dance in a woman's costume are the best parts and highlights of the movie Anazhagan.
Production.
Prashanth appeared in drag role in "Aanazhagan" and noted the most daunting aspects of the role were the "waxing, the threading, the works" as well as "wearing a sari in summer, doing a bharatanatya sequence in a woman's costume, and getting the nuances and variations right were the other challenges", revealing his mum had assisted him. The actor was also involved in the production of the film. The voice for Prasanth's female character Rajalakshmi was given by the famous dubbing artiste Anuradha.
The film became the first project to have scenes shot in the newly created JJ Studios in 1995.
Soundtrack.
The film score and the soundtrack were composed by film composer Ilaiyaraaja and lyrics were written by Vaali. The soundtrack, released in 1995, features 8 tracks.
Release.
The film performed well at the box office. Soon after the film's release, Thiagarajan and Prashanth began working on another project titled "Padagotti Babu", which eventually did not develop. Likewise, another production by his father during the period, "Pulithevan" co-starring Manisha Koirala and Sangita, was also stalled.
