It’s the story of Manoranjan(Kamal Haasan), ‘the’ superstar. Backed and managed by his father-in-law Poorna Chandra Rao(K Vishwanath), Manoranjan or Mano to friends is the reigning star till he is forced to confront a harsh reality or rather two bitter truths in his life.
He had a love story, before he getting fame.He was seperated from his lover because of his father-in-law Poorna Chandra rao. Having seen the ups and downs of life, Manoranjan does not take too long to accept his future and decides to do his bit before his life slips out of his control as he got an deadliest disease, Brain tumuor. Off he goes to his mentor, the man who made him an actor much before he becomes a superstar, Margadarsi(K Balachander). He pleads with a reluctant Margadarsi to make a movie for him as a parting gift of sorts for himself and to his fans.that was his last movie for his fans. In Uttama Villain, he tries to say that a ‘hero can be a villain and in a role reversal, a villain could well be a hero’.
There are the two veteran directors, both of whom have played a very important role in moulding and taking forward the career of actor and performer Kamal Haasan. With Uttama Villain, Kamal pays his guru dakshina to directors K Balachander, his real-life mentor and K Vishwanath with whom he had done films like Sagara Sangamam and Swati Muthyam among others.The real beauty and secret of a good actor is his fine performance that blurs the thin line between reality and performance.
