One of the classic examples is Thillu Mullu released in 1981 directed by K.Balachander starred by Rajinikanth. This movie portrays the story of a young man Aiyampettai Arivudainambi Kaliyapermal Chandran (Rajinikanth) who gets a job from his uncle’s friend Sri Ramachandra Murthy (principled man) by acting accordingly to Sri Ramachandra Murthy, as per his uncle’s advice to be sceptic. Not a good luck for the protagonist, he is seen by his employer playing football one day which is against the principles of the employer. It was when Chandran had lied to his employer to take leave saying that his mother (already dead) was serious. When the employer bounces to punish Chandran, the protagonist brings in a plot saying the man playing football player was his brother Indran. Therefore he had to begin with his life with twin roles. Apparently things fall apart, and Indran is employed to teach music to Murthy’s daughter and they fall in love. When Murthy comes to know of all this drama, he set out to kill Chandran and a lot of sequences follow, ending up Murthy as a fool all over the way. When Murthy prays to God Murga, Lord Murga changes into Lord Ganesha and says he was also involved in fooling him and Murthy has nowhere to go.
