The story revolves around the tale of Kathiresan and Jeevanantham who are lookalikes and focuses on the issue of farmers committing suicide due to corporate encroachment. The film, which commenced filming in January 2014 in Kolkata, was released on 22 October 2014 worldwide, coinciding with the festival of Deepavali. The film was later dubbed into Hindi as Khaki Aur Khiladi television release on Zee Cinema on 13 December 2017 with Vijay's voice dubbed by Shanoor Mirza.[4] and was one of the highest grossing Tamil films of 2014. The film was praised for the story and screenplay.
In Kolkata, prisoner Kathiresan, a petty criminal, helps the police capture an escaping prisoner Vivek Banerjee but escapes afterwards. He goes to Chennai and escapes to Bangkok with his friend and fellow-criminal Ravi. However, he drops this plan after meeting and falling in love with Ankitha, who dupes him into believing that she wants to marry him after realising that he is having a crush on her. Later, Kathir and Ravi notice a doppelgänger of Kathir named Jeevanandam being shot by a group of thugs. They admit him to a hospital, and Kathir decides to impersonate the injured Jeeva to escape from the police. Under the name of Jeeva, Kathir and Ravi enter an old-age home run by Jeeva with the aim of collecting ₹25 lakhs (meant for the inmates of the old-age home) for their Bangkok trip, until he learns about his doppelgänger's mission. Jeeva is a communist ideologue and post-graduate in hydrology from the arid village of Thanoothu in Tirunelveli district who had discovered groundwater under some lands of the village which could be used as an irrigation source not only for the village, but for the entire Tirunelveli district and the neighbouring Thoothukudi district. However, a greedy MNC owner Chirag cheated the villagers into giving their lands for the construction of a factory. Jeeva gets arrested by the police, and six villagers commit suicide to bring this news to the media forefront and release Jeeva from prison. On learning of the plight of Jeeva and the villagers, Kathir decides to fight for their cause while still under the name of Jeeva. The people of the old home and Kathir go to the jury and try to convince him to go in favour of them, but Kathir starts stating rules and scares the main jury person (whom Chirag had bribed). Kathir then sends a person (disguised as a hairdresser) to Chirag and makes him lay a fingerprint on Chirag's neck. After that, Chirag sends 50 men to kill Kathir, but he soon defeats them. Meanwhile, the real Jeeva gains consciousness and finds himself in the Kolkata prison where Kathir was locked up. With the help of Vivek, who has heard his story and has plans to kill Kathir in revenge for getting him caught and thrown back into prison, he escapes with Vivek's henchmen.
Unaware that Jeeva and Vivek's henchmen are headed for Chennai, Kathir makes efforts to convince the media to bring the plight of the villagers to national consciousness, but the media is not interested as they feel it is not a sensational news. A few days later, at the Madras High Court, the judge declares the verdict in favour of Jeeva and the villagers, but adds that Chirag has claimed that certain villagers who are working abroad have shown their support for the factory. If they cannot prove that their support was faked by Chirag within the next five days, the verdict will go in favour of Chirag, and the villagers will lose their lands. Since the villagers, who have denied supporting the factory, are abroad and cannot come to Chennai within five days to rebut Chirag's claims as their passports are held by their contractors, and the verdict is to be decided within five days, Kathir decides to take drastic measures to sensationalise the issue. He, Ankitha, Ravi, and the inmates of the old-age home block water supply to Chennai by sitting on the pipelines which carry water to Chennai from five lakes. With the plight of the Chennaites due to no water supply having gained national attention, Kathir comes out of the pipeline after a few days and highlights the villagers' plight in an emotionally charged speech to the media, which is telecast nationwide and moves many people. By now, Kathir has discovered that Jeeva has escaped and is searching for him.
Meanwhile, Jeeva and Vivek's henchmen reach Chennai, but Jeeva is kidnapped by Chirag's henchmen. While in Chirag's custody, he sees Kathir's speech on television and is moved by the efforts made by his doppelgänger to help the villagers. On the night before the verdict, Kathir's bluff is exposed, but Kathir promises the villagers that he will surely help them and tells that Jeeva is alive, and he will rescue Jeeva from Chirag and hand him back over to the villagers with the assurance of a positive verdict. Kathir goes to Chirag's office, where Jeeva is being held. He rescues Jeeva and kills Chirag.
The next day, the verdict is declared in favour of Jeeva and the villagers. Kathir, despite his efforts to thwart Chirag and the MNC, does not take part in the ensuing celebrations over the verdict and instead surrenders to the police and returns to the Kolkata prison, but not before promising Ankitha, who has now fallen in love with him, that he will marry her once he is released.

Williams as the cinematographer, who had filmed Raja Rani, (2013) which was produced by Murugadoss himself.[9] Art director Lalgudi N. Ilayaraja, who had won the National Film Award for Best Production Design in Vishwaroopam (2013), was selected to handle the art direction for the film.[10] The film was earlier rumoured to be titled as Dheeran.[11] Another potential title for the film was Vaal.[12] In March 2014, Murugadoss confirmed that the film would be titled Kaththi and that it was scheduled to be released on Deepavali.[13]

The film was launched in Kolkata on 3 February 2014 by its producers Ayngaran International with a pooja ceremony in front of the Kalighat Kali Temple, after which principal photography began.[21][22] The first schedule of filming was done on Kolkata and Hyderabad.[23][24] In between, Murugadoss, took a break to promote his then upcoming Bollywood film, Holiday: A Soldier Is Never Off Duty (2014), the Hindi remake of Thuppakki (2012).[25] The film was then shot in Pushpa gardens in Chennai, where a huge set which costed around ₹12.5 million (US$180,000) was erected and most of the indoor scenes were completed in this set.[26] Shooting continued for a 40-day-long schedule in and around the city. By July 2014, 60% of the shooting had been completed and the team shot a few scenes in Kadapa.[27] The final leg of the film began on 1 August 2014 at Chennai.[28]
In late August 2014, 15 days of filming, including patch-work and a few fight sequences, remained.[29] Filming moved back to Hyderabad, where the rest of the fight sequences were canned.[30] On 1 September 2014, the second half of the film was nearly completed.[31] Additional filming took place at the Chennai Central railway station.[32] On 4 September 2014, Neil Nitin Mukesh dubbed in Tamil himself for his role and completed his dubbing portions for the first half of the film.[33] The climax sequences were shot in Nellore on 23 September 2014.[34] The song 'Selfie Pulla' was shot in Mumbai. About 100 dancers participated in the song sequence.[35] Filming of the song was completed on 30 September 2014, with the filming of the entire film also being completed as a result.[36]
The soundtrack album and background score were composed by Anirudh Ravichander.

The satellite rights of the film were sold to Jaya TV.[40] T.

Siva.[42] Producer Tagore Madhu bought the film's Telugu dubbing rights.[43] MM Media, previously known as GK Media, acquired the film's theatrical rights in the USA.[44] The film released worldwide on 22 October 2014.[45] It has been dubbed in Hindi as Khaki Aur Khiladi.[46]
The 41-second first-look motion poster drew comparisons with the popular minute-long advertisement campaign run by a Turkish newspaper, Sabah, to announce their distribution of the New York Times as a supplement. The original advertisement features iconic images of the cities of New York City and Istanbul, designed using news articles and headlines from the newspaper to show the two cities in the form of newspaper clippings. The motion poster of the film showed prominent places in Chennai and the entire city itself in the form of newspaper clippings and headlines, just like the advertisement campaign, without an acknowledgement to the makers of the original.[47][48]
Minjur Gopi Nayinar filed a case against Murugadoss, claiming that the plot of the film was copied from his novel Mootha Kudi. Responding to the issue, Murugadoss said that he was neither aware of Minjur nor that his story was a copy, further citing the allegation as a tactic by the plaintiff to garner free publicity. He, in turn, requested the court to dismiss the petition.[49] In late September 2014, the court declared the case in Murugadoss's favour, citing lack of proper evidence found against him.[50]
Subaskaran Allirajah, chairman of Lyca Mobiles, whose company Lyca Productions co-produced the film along with Ayngaran International, was claimed to have had business links with the President of Sri Lanka, Mahinda Rajapaksa. Murugadoss and Karunamoorthy of Ayngaran International met pro-Eelam leaders — Pazha Nedumaran, director Seeman and Viduthalai Chiruthaigal Katchi's (VCK) Thol. Thirumavalavan — to explain their position regarding the allegation, but the talks proved to be inconclusive at that time.[51] A collective of four student bodies — Maatram Maanavar Ilaiyor Iyakkam, Free Tamil Eelam Students Organisation, Tamil Youth and Students Association, and Progressive Students Front — in Tamil Nadu called for a ban on the film, stating that the film promoted the economic and political interests of Sri Lanka. The students were willing to reconsider their position on the film if Lyca Productions formally withdrew as producer.[52] In August 2014, directors Seeman and Vikraman showed support for the film.[53][54]
Despite clarifications, as many as 65 Tamil groups came together to oppose the film, leading to speculations regarding Lyca stepping down as producer and handing the reins to another production group.[55][56] Karunamoorthy, however, again denied that Allirajah had business links with either Mahinda Rajapaksa or his family in any way, further saying that a press meet would be held where all doubts and suspicions regarding Lyca Productions would be clarified and that the film would be released under the Lyca Productions banner.[57]
As per Karunamoorthy's statement, a press meet was held on 16 September 2014, where the vice-chairman of Lyca Productions, Premananthan Sivasamy, Subaskaran and Karunamoorthy were present. A statement with a detailed clarification was shown in which it was mentioned that Lyca did not have any business links with Rajapaksa or anyone else related to him, thereby confirming the planned release of the film on Deepavali.[58]
