Vallavan (Tamil: வல்லவன்) (English: Expert) is a 2006 Tamil romantic thriller film written and directed by Silambarasan, starring himself in the title role along with Nayantara, Reema Sen and Sandhya whilst Santhanam, Premji Amaren, Sathyan and S. Ve. Shekhar play supporting roles. The dialogues are written by Balakumaran. The film's score and soundtrack are composed by Yuvan Shankar Raja. The film, loosely based on Hollywood films The Notebook (2004) and Swimfan (2002), was released on 13 October 2006. Nayantara was Selected as the Lead Actress after Jyothika rejected the offer due to her Wedding Arrangements. The film was later dubbed into Telugu and released as Vallabha.
Vallavan (Silambarasan) is a happy-go-lucky college student with a set of friends. Bala (Santhanam) & Suji (Sandhya) are two of Vallavan's friends. When they're at the temple, he sees Swapna (Nayantara). He immediately falls in love with her.. While Vallavan’s at the college, Swapna shows up. She's revealed to be a teacher, who’s three years older than Vallavan. He decides to woo her by turning into Pallavan, an ugly duckling with buck teeth and glasses. Pallavan makes Swapna fall in love with him for his heart, even though he is ugly and they both eventually fall in love and end up having sex. But when Swapna comes to know that Pallavan is younger than her (from one of Vallavan's enemies in school) and that too a student, she dumps him and decides to marry another guy. Meanwhile a sequence of events take place, much to the chagrin of Vallavan who is highly insulted by them. As Vallavan walks in the streets wondering how things could get so messy, he recalls his school life.
