The 2014 Tamil film (originally titled Jagajala Pujabala Tenaliraman ) marks the high-profile return of comedian Vadivelu to the screen in a dual role. Directed by Yuvaraj Dhayalan, this historical comedy is inspired by the legendary folklore of the witty court poet Tenali Rama but presents an imaginary story rather than a factual biography.

The film relies on a dual-role performance by Vadivelu, playing both the sharp-tongued jester and the gullible King. Tenaliraman's journey from a rebel seeking to overthrow the monarch to his most loyal advisor forms the narrative's core, utilizing classic "Tenali Rama" fables—such as the elephant in the pot—to outwit his rivals.
