Mappillai (English: Son-in-law) is a 2011 Tamil romantic action comedy film directed by Suraj, starring Dhanush as the son-in-law and Manisha Koirala as the mother-in-law with Hansika Motwani, in her Tamil debut, playing her daughter. The film is a remake of the 1989 film of the same name, which incidentally starred Dhanush's father-in-law, Rajinikanth, in the lead role. Distributed by Sun Pictures, it was released on 8 April 2011. The film received mixed reviews, but was declared a hit at the box office. Ironically, Suraj worked as an Assistant Director in the original Maapillai movie.
Saravanan (Dhanush) is a do-gooder, who is soft-spoken and admired by one and all. Another person named Child Chinna (Vivek) is the head of the Namitha Fan Club in his area. Chinna and Saravanan come across Gayathri (Hansika Motwani), the daughter of an arrogant businesswoman Rajeshwari (Manisha Koirala). Chinna falls for her. He tries several plans to get close to her but in vain, and Gayathri falls for Saravanan after he saved her from an accident.
Coming to know of their affair, Rajeshwari decides to get them both married. The reason is that she is keen on getting a son-in-law, who will always do what she wants and be under her control.
However, she is in for a shock when she comes to know that Saravanan has a past. He is a ruffian and is feared by one and all. Now she plans to halt all plans, while Saravanan overcomes all her plans with ease. At last when he comes to know that Rajeshwari had humiliated his parents when they ask her to accompany them to their village festival. He makes a plan to take her whole family to his village and makes them stay there in his ancestral house with help of Rajeshwari's astrologer (Manobala) by blackmailing him, and further Saravanan plans to arrange for his sister's marriage with Rajeshwari's son. He tricks Chinna to act a wealthy business man James Pandian, and to which Chinna agrees. After some time, Rajeshwari knows the truth about James and insults him and his family in front of the whole village and leaves.
