His friends Sundar (Sunder Ramu), Shankar (Mathivanan Rajendran), Padmini (Pooja Devariya), and Vindhya (Shilpi Kiran) support him and his sister after the death of their parents. One day, Sundar introduces Yamini (Richa Gangopadhyay) as his girlfriend to Karthik and his friends. On their first meeting, Karthik and Yamini have a bitter experience but slowly develop a special bond. Karthik tries to stay away from Yamini, but a sequence of events brings them closer. Eventually, Sundar's father arranges for Karthik and Yamini to be married. After their wedding, Karthik learns that Madhesh had used a photograph that he had taken to win a national award. After this incident, he turns into an alcoholic. Yamini supports him, hoping that he will succeed one day. Days later, Karthik's drunken fit leads to Yamini's miscarriage, after which she stops talking to him. This makes him come to terms with reality, and he mends his ways. He finally gets a break and becomes a professional wildlife photographer, and one of his photographs gets nominated for an International Photography Award, which he wins. On this occasion, Karthik thanks everyone for their support and Yamini for her faith in him and declares his love for her. Yamini finally relents and talks to Karthik as the film ends.

Production
Selvaraghavan began a film featuring Dhanush and Richa Gangopadhyay, who had initially been signed to do another film with him.[3][4] Richa began shooting for the film in Kannur in May 2011, and the film was wrapped up within three months.[5] The title was finally changed to Mayakkam Enna from 'Idhu Maalai Nerathu Mayakkam' in August 2011, with reports suggesting that Dhanush would sport four different looks in the film.[6][7] Selvaraghavan has since made it clear that the film has a totally different script from the film that had been shelved.[8] It was said that Dhanush would be seen in various stages, as a boy just out of his teenage to an old man.[9]Yuvan Shankar Raja replaced G.V.Prakash Kumar as music composer in the film, with the latter reporting it was due to 'money and time issues'.[10][11] However, in a sensational turn, G.V.Prakash Kumar was assigned again as composer after Yuvan Shankar Raja moved out of the project as he was busy with other commitments and could not give priority to Selvaraghavan, who was in rush to complete the film and move over to his next project, Vishwaroopam. On 24 May 2011, it was announced that Selvaraghavan was ousted from the project.[12][13] Television actress Deepa Venkat dubbed the voice of the female lead.
