Shankar conceived the film in mid-2003 during the post-production period of his previous film, Boys. He based the film on his own life experiences during his formative years when he was disturbed by what he saw around him, and his eventual displeasure with the society. Pre-production for Anniyan began in November 2003 and principal photography in March 2004. The making of the film, which included numerous production delays, took 14 months. The film was shot at Hyderabad, Thanjavur, Tindivanam and Chennai, and the song sequences were filmed in Mumbai, Malaysia, Amsterdam and Tenkasi. The film was notable for its recreation of the Tyagaraja Aradhana music festival and the extensive use of time slice photography in an action sequence.
Originally filmed in Tamil, and released simultaneously in the four South Indian states on 10 June 2005, Anniyan was dubbed into Telugu as Aparichithudu and Hindi as Aparichit The Stranger, was released a year later on 19 May 2006. The film was also dubbed into French and released in French-speaking countries worldwide by Columbia Tristar. The film received positive reviews from critics and became a commercial success across South India. In addition to winning a record breaking eight Filmfare Awards and six State Film Awards, the film also won a National Award in the Special Effects category.
Ramanujam Iyengar, alias Ambi, is a straightforward consumer protection advocate from Triplicane who expects everyone to follow the law and prosecutes those who violate it, but his efforts fail as circumstantial evidence favours the accused. Ambi's efforts to raise civic awareness fail due to a general lack of seriousness and widespread corruption. Frustrated, Ambi's suppressed anger manifests as an alter ego called Anniyan, a grim reaper-themed vigilante, who seeks out corrupt and indifferent individuals in order to eliminate them. Anniyan creates a website, where he compiles a list of wrongdoers and kills them using punishments described in the ancient Hindu scripture Garuda Purana. Ambi secretly loves his neighbour named Nandini, a medical student and an aspiring Carnatic singer, but never expresses his feelings due to fear of rejection.
When Ambi gets the courage to propose Nandini during the annual Thyagaraja Aradhana with the help of his friend, SI Chari, she rejects him as she cannot bear his overbearing nature and constant complaining and nitpicking. Distraught, Ambi attempts suicide, almost drowning himself before having second thoughts. Subsequently, Ambi develops another personality named Remo, a metrosexual fashion model. Nandini becomes smitten with Remo and falls in love with him.
While purchasing a plot of land for her dowry, Nandini undervalues the property to evade stamp duty. Ambi, who accompanies her to the government office, refuses to help her after learning of her intention to skirt the law. Later, when Nandini and Remo are on a date, Remo transforms into Anniyan and attempts to punish her for her corrupt act. As Anniyan is about to kill her, Nandini calls out for Ambi, and Anniyan reverts back to Ambi, who collapses and loses consciousness. Nandini takes Ambi to NIMHANS, where he is diagnosed with multiple personality disorder. Through recovered-memory therapy, Vijaykumar, the chief psychiatrist of NIMHANS, uncovers Ambi's past. When Ambi was ten years old, he witnessed the accidental death of his younger sister, Vidya, due to civic apathy. The incident left a deep emotional scar, which was the reason for his lofty ideals. The psychiatrist realises that although Anniyan and Remo know about Ambi as a separate person, Ambi is oblivious to their existence within him. Vijaykumar declares that Remo will cease to exist if Nandini reciprocates Ambi's feelings, but Anniyan will cease to exist only when society reforms. Nandini accepts Ambi's love and Remo vanishes.
Meanwhile, DCP Prabhakar and Chari investigate the murders committed by Anniyan. In disguises, they discover clues left behind by Anniyan, which are the names of the punishments he meted out to his victims. Prabhakar is determined personally to punish Anniyan as one of his victims named Chockalingam, an errant catering contractor with the Indian Railways, was his elder brother. In a dramatic publicity stunt, Anniyan admits to the murders when he appears amidst the public and the press at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium. Anniyan explains the rationale behind the murders and says that only when every Indian is responsible and sincere can the country can prosper on par with developed nations. His methods draw both praise and criticism. Prabhakar tries to catch Anniyan, but he escapes.
On investigating the phone records and IP address of Anniyan's internet activity, Prabhakar discovers that the connection belongs to Ambi. Upon further analysis of security footage of Anniyan's public appearance, Ambi's face gets revealed under the hood. Prabhakar arrests Ambi and subjects him to a polygraph test to make him confess to his crimes. The officers see that he is telling the truth and is oblivious to killing anyone, believing in his innocence. Prabhakar gets enraged, so he orders all the officers and Chari to leave and begins brutally attacking and tormenting Ambi alone with Garuda Puranam punishments. Ambi is eventually thrown into a saltwater tank by Prabhakar. When a traumatised Ambi begs for mercy, Prabhakar mockingly uses the rapid cooling system and makes the water extremely cold, where it becomes ice, so that Ambi will freeze to death. The near-death experience and pain trigger Anniyan's reappearance. Ambi's personality alternates between him and Anniyan; he brutally subdues Prabhakar as Anniyan while begging for mercy as himself.
When Ambi gets tried for several murders, Vijaykumar testifies to Ambi's mental condition. Chari also secretly recorded Ambi's interrogation and torture at Prabhakar's hands and presented it as evidence of Ambi's mental state. Ambi is acquitted but is directed to undergo psychotherapy in a mental hospital and will be eligible for release when cured. When Ambi is released two years later, his rigid adherence to protocol has diminished and he appears more open and accommodating. He marries Nandini, and while travelling on a train during their honeymoon, Ambi notices a man (an electrician who was indirectly responsible for his sister's death several years ago) drinking among fellow passengers. Moving himself and Nandini away from the man, he secretly transforms into Anniyan and throws the man off the train, thus killing him. However, Ambi hides the incident from Nandini, revealing that instead of eradicating his other personality, the two characters have blended into one identity.
During the making of his Hindi film directorial debut Nayak starring Anil Kapoor in early 2001, director S. Shankar had conceived a science fiction film titled Robot. A futuristic techno-thriller set in the 22nd century Chennai, the film was to star Kamal Haasan and Preity Zinta.[a][5] However, after completing a photo-shoot featuring the two, the production was shelved due to various reasons, including Haasan's unavailability of dates and creative differences with the director.[6][7][8] Shankar postponed the project indefinitely and made the coming of age film, Boys (2003).[b] When the post-production work of Boys was underway, Shankar was awaiting the return of its composer A. R. Rahman, who was then outside India, to complete the background score. In the meantime, Shankar had an idea for a storyline and called Vikram, who expressed enthusiasm for the subject.[10][11]
Following the release of Boys in August 2003,[13] Shankar began work on his next directorial venture entitled Anniyan. It was initially thought to be Shankar's pet project Robot revived with a new title, but this was later proven not to be correct.[14] Shankar said the film was his "dream project" and disclosed that it would be a racy, fantasy-thriller.[15][16] When questioned on how the idea behind the film had come to him, the director revealed, "The seeds of all my movies were sown when I was young, long before I started making movies. So many things disturbed me, and these stayed with me. Those were the seeds. I make films based on them."[10]
With the highest production value among Tamil films of its time, the film was touted to be the director's magnum opus and was labelled "the most eagerly awaited film of the year" by the media.[10][17] The film deals with a person having dissociative identity disorder, commonly known as "multiple personality disorder" (MPD) or "split personality syndrome".[18][19] It was compared to Chandramukhi, released two months before, as it also focused on a character with the same syndrome.[20][21]
To portray the lead character, Shankar needed a performer who could play an action hero. He chose Vikram as he felt that the actor, in addition to being a performer, had the image of an action hero. While his casting was made public in a November 2003 news report announcing the project's inception, the director revealed that Vikram was added to the cast in mid-2003 and refuted theories that the actor's casting was to capitalise on his new-found popularity following his success at the National Film Awards, where he won the National Film Award for Best Actor for his performance in the film Pithamagan (2003). Stating that Vikram was selected for the lead role months before the theatrical release of Pithamagan, Shankar added, "I don't look at actors that way."[10][14] He further remarked that Vikram was the "life and soul" of Anniyan.[15]
The heroine role of a "devoted Iyengar Brahmin girl" was originally offered to Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, who was too busy to accommodate production dates. After months of waiting for her call sheet, Shankar eventually offered the role to Sadha.[22] Expressing hope that it would be "an important movie" in her career, Sadha accepted the offer, working on the film for 120 days, adding, "I have a major role to play in Anniyan. There are few heavy portions involving me in the movie that I have given my best." She considered being a part of a Shankar film, especially during the early stages of her career, as a "god's gift" and a "once-in-a-lifetime experience".[23][24][25] However, when offered similar roles following the film's success, she refused to be typecast and stated, "I am now looking for roles where my creative potential is tapped. I don't want to be part of such cinema where all one has to do is dance around trees."[26]
