Pithamagan (transl. Son of ancestors) is a 2003 Indian Tamil-language action crime drama film written and directed by Bala. The film stars Vikram, Suriya, Laila, and Sangeetha. Based on Jayakanthan's short story Nandhavanathil Oru Aandi, it revolves around a man who grew away from civilisation with minimal human contact and, as a result is animalistic.[1]
Pithamagan was released on 24 October 2003. The film became a success, and Vikram won numerous accolades for his performance, including the National Film Award for Best Actor. It was remade in Kannada as Anatharu (2007) with Mahadevan reprising his role.[2]
