Varalaru - History of Godfather (Tamil: வரலாறு)

Varalaru - History of Godfather (Tamil: வரலாறு) is a Tamil film released on Diwali 2006. It was originally titled Godfather (Tamil: காட்ஃபாதர்) but due the State Government’s order to grant entertainment tax exemption to movies titled in Tamil, prompted producer NIC Arts Chakravarthy and director K S Ravikumar to opt for a Tamil title for the movie. Godfather was then titled as Varalaru (meaning History). The film stars Ajith and Asin, and is directed by the veteran, K.S. Ravikumar. Ajith donned a much anticipated triple role in the film and was paired with current top actress, Asin. Ajith plays the roles of a father and his two sons; as the father he was paired with Kanika.
