Dindigul I Leoni is a multifaceted personality having established as Pattimandram speaker, political platform orator and cine artist. His son Leo Sivakumar, the lead actor of ‘Azhagiya Kanne’, is an amateur and needs to come out of the famous dad’s shadow.
Superstars Suriya and Karthi have proved their mettle in the tinsel world despite being the sons of veteran actor and Ramayana orator Shivakumar. Nowadays only the fittest will survive in the Kollywood.
- The film is directed by debutant director R Vijayakumar and produced by Esthel Entertainer
- Director Prabhu Solomon and Makkal Selvan Vijay Sethupathi have made special appearances
Although Leo Sivakumar, Sanchitha and dancer Sujatha have done justice to their characters, Leo Sivakumar still needs to hone his acting skills. Similarly, Prabhu Salomon’s portrayal of the director’s work in the cinema is appreciated.

The predictable screenplay keeps the film from making a big impact. The songs are catchy with NR Raghunandhan’s music, the background score and cinematography also helps the film.
Leo Sivakumar from Dindigul district aspires to become a director in cinema. Sanchitha Shetty, a girl from the opposite house and theatre activist, falls in love with him. They belong to different communities, and get married against the wishes of their families. She conducts stage plays in the town. Leo Sivakumar comes to Chennai to join director Prabhu Solomon as assistant director and Sanchitha also comes to Chennai due to work. At some point the two get married and a child is born. But while Leo is trying to become a director, due to family circumstances, Sanchitha is unable to keep a close eye on the child.
It is nothing but a romantic drama that tackles caste discrimination and honour killing. However, the director failed to show his mark in telling the time-tested plots in a convincing way.
