However, shyness and fear of Neelambari, her landlady, prevents Vasundhara from initially expressing her feelings. In addition, Neelambari is Suryaprakash's spoiled sister, who is madly in love with Padayappa.

Unexpectedly, Padayappa's father's foster brother demands a share in the family property. Padayappa's father, the chieftain of the village, refuses to divide the property and instead gives the entire property to his foster brother. This forces Padayappa's family to leave their home. Unable to bear this shock, Padayappa's father dies. Suryaprakash then cancels his wedding with Padayappa's sister and marries the daughter of Padayappa's father's foster brother, who now owns the property of Padayappa's father. Meanwhile, Padayappa discovers that a hill on his property is solid, which allows him to start a granite business, from which he becomes rich.

He uses the money to help the poor in his village, and provide them jobs. As his business flourishes, his family is able to once again settle down. Padayappa assumes his father's position as the village chieftain, and his sister gets married to one of the engineers who work in his company. When Neelambari learns about Padayappa's love for Vasundhara, she becomes jealous of her, and her parents beg Padayappa's widowed mother to allow Neelambari to marry Padayappa. However, to everyone's surprise, Padayappa's mother embarrasses Padayappa's maternal uncle in front of the entire village when she agrees to a marriage proposal made by Vasundhara's mother, her brother's servant. Unable to bear the humiliation, Padayappa's maternal uncle commits suicide.

When Neelambari tries to kill Vasundhara by letting a bull loose on her, Padayappa saves her, after which the two marry. After the wedding, Neelambari locks herself in a room in Suryaprakash's house, thinking only about Padayappa for 18 years. In between, Padayappa finds his father's foster brother in trouble and was pulled out by a financier, from whom he had borrowed money on interest keeping the family house, and helps his father's foster brother, who is suffering financially. As a result, Padayappa's father's foster brother becomes indebted to him and seeks Padayappa's pardon for his misdeeds; Padayappa forgives him. Neelambari plans her revenge on Padayappa, now a father of two daughters. Suryaprakash also has a son, Chandraprakash alias Chandru, who studies at the same college as Padayappa's elder daughter, Anitha.

Neelambari advises Chandru to make Anitha fall in love with him. At the same time, Padayappa plans to get Anitha married to his sister's son. Neelambari, having made Chandru pretend to fall in love with Anitha, plans to humiliate Padayappa by making Anitha say that she does not wish to marry a groom of her parents' choice and that she is in love with someone else. At the marriage ceremony, after Anitha does what Neelambari told her to do, Padayappa makes an oath to unite Anitha with her lover by the next day, or commit suicide. Padayappa discovers that Chandru really did fall in love with Anitha even though he was only initially pretending to do so on Neelambari's advise. When Padayappa takes Chandru and Anitha to the temple to get married, Neelambari and Suryaprakash give chase to stop them.

Suryaprakash is killed in a car accident during the chase. Armed with a gun, Neelambari reaches the temple where Chandru and Anitha are married.

In anger, she tries to kill Padayappa. However, Padayappa saves her life when he prevents a bull from attacking her, while at the same time dodging the bullets she fires at him.

Rather than live with the humiliation of knowing she was unsuccessful in avenging her father's death, as well as having her life saved by her enemy, Neelambari commits suicide, promising to take revenge on Padayappa in her next birth. Padayappa prays for her soul to be at peace and eventually attain salvation. When they offered Neelambari’s character, I just did it. Because it was opposite a superstar and that too the character was a negative one, no one was ready to do it, but I did it. I didn’t have any second thoughts. – Ramya Krishnan, in an interview with in July 2015. Today's audience expects novelty from film makers and stars.

The success of Nilambari [ ] in Padayappa is an example of this. Action and reaction are the key factors for an artiste’s success.

– Ramya Krishnan, in an interview with in July 1999. The film was produced by Rajinikanth's personal assistants, K. Sathya Narayana, M. Krishna Rao, and H. Vittal Prasad under their production banner, Arunachala Cine Creations, along with P. Thenappan as co-producer. Lalitha Mani was the choreographer for the song sequences., son of producer, was involved in the development of the film's script.

And were for the character of Neelambari before the role went to Ramya Krishnan, who had previously worked with Rajinikanth on (1985). Simran was also considered for the role of Vasundhara, before the role went to Soundarya, who had earlier worked with Rajinikanth in (1997). Actress was touted to play the role of Padayappa's sister, but the role eventually went to. The look of the older Padayappa — bearded, with sunglasses — is based on Rajinikanth's look as the character Manik Baashha in (1995); Ganesh Nadar of commented, 'Give Basha [ sic] a and that's Padayappa.' Sivaji Ganesan was cast as the protagonist's father; Padayappa was the last film he worked on before his death in 2001, although (1999) was his final release. His character's appearance, with a mutton-chop moustache, is based on a similar role he played in (1992).

The scene where Padayappa pulls down a swing for him to sit on was reminiscent of the Hindu god, Hanuman, making a chair for himself to sit on in the Ramayana. Padayappa launched production at the Ragavendra Kalyana Mandapam on 1 October 1998. The film's climax scene was one of the first to be shot, and was filmed in one take using two cameras. Around 2,000 extras were used for the scene. The car that was used in the scene which introduced Neelambari in the film belonged to Ravikumar.

Ravikumar used the newly purchased car in the film at Rajinikanth's insistence. Filming also took place in. The -based shop, D.

Nehru wigs, supplied the wigs that were sported by Ganesan in the film. In an August 2016 interview with Sudhir Srinivasan of The Hindu, Ravikumar mentioned that a scene where Padayappa uses his to pull down a swing from the ceiling on which he sits after not being given a chair to sit by Neelambari, was inspired by a sequence in the Indian epic. The sequence features the Hindu god making a seat using his tail after, the king of, does not provide the former a chair to sit. 'Kikku Yerudhey' was the last song sequence to be shot. For the sequence, Rajinikanth required Ravikumar to sport an outfit similar to Rajinikanth's, and enact a small part in the song.

Rajinikanth also selected the part of the song where Ravikumar would make his appearance. After reluctantly agreeing to do the part, a scene was filmed featuring Rajinikanth and Ravikumar. Rajinikanth said he felt the shot did not look right, and re-takes for Ravikumar's sequence were done. After the re-takes were completed, Rajinikanth admitted that the first sequence was fine.

When Ravikumar asked the cameraman why he had not told him earlier, the cameraman replied by saying that Rajinikanth wanted Ravikumar to do seven takes, to teach him a lesson for all the takes that Ravikumar had required of Rajinikanth. Themes [ ] Writing for, Ranjani Krishnakumar noted that Padayappa underlined Rajinikanth's political manoeuvres, evident when his character's lover sings ' Kaadhal therdhalil kattil sinnathil vetri petru nee vaazgha' (In the election of love, with the symbol of bed, may you win and flourish). Main article: The film's soundtrack and were composed by A. Rahman, with lyrics. The soundtrack was released through Star Music.

Strips of herbal rejuvenator capsules were sold along with the film's music cassettes. Before the film's release, Rahman asked Ravikumar if the soundtrack could be released in August 1999. Ravikumar informed Rahman that he had already discussed a release date with the press, and that Rahman would be blamed for any delay. To make the deadline, Rahman did a live re-recording of both the soundtrack and score to finish them on time. The credits for the song 'Vetri Kodi Kattu', sung by Palakkad Sreeram, initially went to, who publicly stated that the credits for the song should have been attributed to Sreeram.

Rahman requested the company who manufactured the audio cassettes to make the change. The song 'Minsara Kanna' is based on the, while 'Vetri Kodi Kattu' is based on the raga. 'Minsara Kanna' established as a leading singer in the film industry. Singer, in her column for The Hindu, 'A Raga's journey', called 'Minsara Kanna' a 'mind-blowing piece'.

Srikanth Srinivasa of the wrote, 'The music by [Rahman], to Vairamuthu’s lyrics, sounds good while the movie is on, though whether without the presence of [Rajinikanth] they would have, is another thing.' Shiva Kumar of was more critical of the soundtrack, and called it 'lacklustre'. Release [ ] Padayappa was released on 10 April 1999 on the eve of. This was the first Tamil film to be released worldwide without the involvement of distributors. It was also the first Tamil film to be released worldwide with 210 prints, and 700,000 audio cassettes.

The film's rights in Japan were sold for US$50,000, which was the highest an Indian film fetched for commercial release in 1999.

Ramakrishnan, in their book, Grand Brand Rajini, said, ' Padayappa, in one way, stands testimony to Rajini's life itself.' Shiva Kumar of The Times of India was critical of the film's allusions to the actor's political career, stating that the film was 'more style than substance'.

Ravikumar Won Rajinikanth Won Ramya Krishnan Won Srinivas Won Sundaramoorthy Won Cancelled sequel [ ] Padayappa 's initial final cut lasted for 22 reels, which was considered too lengthy. Rather than cut the film, Rajinikanth suggested to Ravikumar to allot two for the film. Ravikumar was wary of this idea, and went to actor for advice, since the initial final cut of Haasan's (1987) was also 22 reels.

Using his prior experience on trimming Nayakan, Haasan was able to cut Padayappa down to 16 reels. When 's reporter Kannan asked Rajinikanth to release the scenes which had been cut as Padayappa 's sequel, Rajinikanth immediately spoke to Ravikumar about the possibility, but was informed that those reels had been destroyed.

Her brother drags her away, and berates her for still not overcoming Padayappa. Ramya Krishnan and Nasser reprised their roles in this film.

Kashtapadama Kidaikirathu Ennikkum Nilakkathu' (English: One can gain nothing without working hard for it.

Those which are gotten without hardwork will not be there forever); and 'Anger is the cause of all miseries. One should know how to control it, otherwise life will become miserable.'

The digital art was hand drawn on a digital pad by Gautham Raj.
