Speaking of Asuran, the movie was based on the Sahithya Academy Award winning-writer Poomani’s novel named 'Vekkai'. The story revolves around a farmer's life who attempts to win back his land from an affluent family in the village. The film had received a positive response from the critics and the audience.
