Plot

Nadhiya (Bindhu Madhavi) who is trying to commit suicide on a railway track, but our hero Dhoni Kumar (Vikram Prabhu) comes to her rescue. Nadhiya mistakes Kumar for Pandi (also Vikram Prabhu) a toy-seller from the village. In a flashback it is revealed that Nadhiya, the village chief’s daughter, had fallen for Pandi seeing his inherent goodness but due to parental opposition, the lovers get separated. Nadhiya runs away from her house in search of Pandi and meets up with Dhoni Kumar, who is a spitting image of Pandi. Dhoni Kumar is a carefree guy who is a crazy fan of Mahendra Singh Dhoni and he is in love with Rajini Radha (Nikki Galrani), the president of a Superstar Rajinikanth fan club. Hearing the sad story of Nadhiya, Dhoni Kumar promises that he will find her lover Pandi.

Production

In November 2016, it was reported that Vikram Prabhu had agreed terms to work on a film titled Pakka directed by newcomer Surya.[1] Nikki Galrani signed on to play the leading female role in January 2017, and worked on the film alongside her commitments in Neruppu Da (2017), which also featured her alongside Vikram Prabhu. The project became Nikki Galrani's 25th film, and the director revealed that she would portray a Rajinikanth fan.[2][3] Director Surya revealed Pakka would be a "complete commercial entertainer which is set against a rural backdrop", and also confirmed that the team had signed on actors Soori, Sathish and Anandaraj for supporting roles.[4]

The team began the shoot on 1 February 2017 in Courtallam, undertaking a schedule for twenty days. Other than this film is produced by T.Sivakumar and Coproduced by P.B.Saravanan [5]

gollark: It seems like bad design to make it so that you need ridiculously secure devices to hold keys instead of just making it so that the user actually explicitly authorizes transactions somehow.
gollark: What if your finger slips and you accidentally wipe your device? What if they just backup the thing before having you unlock it?
gollark: Well, you have 10 fingers, so that isn't a very high bar.
gollark: ...
