Rasikkum Seemane is a 2010 Indian Tamil-language thriller film written and directed by R. K. Vidhyadaran. Produced by Thirumalai though the Trans India banner, the film stars Srikanth, Navya Nair and Aravind Akash in the lead roles. The film was released on 12 February 2010, after two years of being stalled, to negative reviews.

The film starts with two ten-year-old boys, Nandhu (Srikanth) and Aravind (Aravind Akash), arguing heatedly about Gayathri (Navya Nair) and who loves her the most. As the young girl herself remarks, they are all only in seventh standard, and claims she will only fall in love with whoever happens to become a doctor. In the meantime, Gayathri's father is transferred elsewhere, while Nandhu's father commits suicide after killing his mother. Nandhu is taken care of his father's closest friend (R. K. Vidyadharan) and as he cannot afford to help the kid become a doctor, he hatches a plan to become a professional blackmailer.

A dozen years later and you've got an adult Nandhu who is a student and professional blackmailer, now operating under the aegis of his guru and his associate (Sathyan). Until Gayathri re-emerges, but for Nandhu's distraught, she has already met Aravind who actually has become a doctor. Realisation comes to Nandhu slowly but when all his plans to stop them falling in love backfire, he decides to take some drastic action, blackmailing her into eloping with him but it never occurs to him to marry her.

The film materialized and initial reports regarding the lead cast appeared in September 2007, announcing that Srikanth and Navya Nair would be appearing together, with the film, then being titled as Ettapan. The film revealed its cast and crew members and plot in December 2007, with indications that it would be a remake of a successful Kannada film. The film continued shooting through early 2008, when the film was renamed as Aval Ullathai following protests from the people of Etayapuram, where the historical figure Ettappan lived in the 18th century. By June 2008, reports indicated that the film was nearing completion, and a release would be likely soon after that date.

However, following that announcement the film failed to find distributors and remained inactive for eighteen months until release.
