Selvam, a secret agent, takes the place of a rich industrialist, Raja. The operation is facilitated because both men look alike. Indeed, a gang rages in the region and swindles the wealthy citizens like Raja. The mission of Selvam is to neutralise this group. The infiltrated policeman is going to find himself in the centre of a large number of problems until it affects his private life. But duty comes before family.
Oorukku Uzhaippavan was shot in Karnataka in places such as Mysore and Bangalore.[5]
The music was composed by M. S. Viswanathan.[6]
