Kanakavel is an aspiring police officer. One day, he trashes a man for misbehaving with his girlfriend. That man turns out to be a corrupt police officer who later starts harassing Kanakavel's family.
Dhil is the story about Kanagavel (Vikram) whose only dream is to become a police officer. He succeeds in passing the exams and wins a girlfriend, Asha (Laila). One night after having dinner at a restaurant near the beach Velu goes to pay the bill leaving Asha behind. At that moment a corrupt police officer Shankar (Ashish Vidyarti) drinks and behaves indecently to Asha. He then attempts to rape her but is beaten up by Velu severely and receives a scar on his face. Angered by this he seeks revenge against Velu. The rest of the story shows how Velu fights Shankar and his goons finally killing the corrupt police.
The film marked the Tamil debut of Hindi actor Ashish Vidyarthi.
Vikram often helped out during the shooting of the film by helping suggest changes to scenes. The actor had to wear prosthetic make-up for the film, which took over one hour to put on.
To appear trim in the role of the aspiring police officer, Vikram went on a strict diet eating only fruits and drinking juice. He revealed that when bulking for the film, he was on 25 egg whites and one whole cooked chicken a day and also employed a bodybuilder to train him.
