Jayam(Movie, 2003)

Jayam (transl. Victory) is a 2003 Indian Tamil-language romantic action film directed by M. Raja in his Tamil debut. The film is a remake of the 2002 Telugu-language film with the same title. It featured Raja’s brother Ravi and Sadha in their first Tamil ventures respectively, with the latter reprising her role from the Telugu movie. The film features Gopichand, who is also reprising his role, alongside an ensemble supporting cast including Rajeev, Pragathi, Nizhalgal Ravi, Radha Ravi, Nalini, Senthil, and Suman Setty. The music was composed by R. P. Patnaik. The film released on 21 June 2003 to mixed reviews but was a sleeper hit. The success prompted Ravi to retain the film's title as a prefix to his stage name. Till date, Jayam is the first and only Tamil film which Gopichand has acted. ()
