KADHAL VIRUS – SYNOPSIS:
The movie Kadhal Virus is about Deepak (Richard), a successful movie director. It is all about his dreams, his successes, his failures, his love and his ultimate sacrifice for his love.
Deepak, to his credit has a lot of blockbusters in the tinsel world. The whole film fraternity rejoices his hits by graciously honoring him. Everyone heaps praise on him for making wonderful movies. He often remembers his road to success and his only love of his life Geetha (Sridevi).
The film travels back in time when Deepak was still a wannabe movie director. He meets Geetha and mesmerized by her beauty he falls in love with her at first sight. He happens to meet her again and again by chance and by every incident he is drawn to her.
Deepak goes to Coonoor to write a script and gets overjoyed to see Geetha there. After some hiccups they both see the good in each other and fall in love. Inseparable, both of them are, they think about themselves. But fate intervenes. On an urgency to meet a movie producer to submit his script Deepak leaves to Chennai promising Geetha that he will always be in touch with her.
Time passes by; Deepak gets his big break to direct a film. On the first day of his shoot Geetha comes to meet him, only to invite him to her wedding to a prominent businessman. A heart broken Deepak curses his fate and begins to concentrate only on his movies. He begins to win the heart of the people and minds of the youth by his portrayal of love in his films. He is also known as the youthful director for introducing a lot of youngsters to stardom.
At present time Deepak is often visited by an energetic handsome youth Rajiv (Abbas) for a chance in his movies. Deepak turns him down; instead he picks another youth to be the star of his next film. Deepak then learns a bitter truth that Rajiv is none other than the husband of his sweetheart Geetha. The couple faces utmost hardship because of Rajiv’s dream to become a star. Deepak decides to help for the sake of Geetha.
Deepak replaces his hero of the new film with Rajiv only to face tremendous backlash from the producers and the financiers. Deepak decides to produce the movie on his own and then unfortunately gets stabbed by the guy Rajiv replaced.
Daring all odds Deepak finishes the film and makes a big star of Rajiv which in turn takes a heavy toll on Deepak’s health. Geetha realizes how far Deepak has suffered just to make her husband a star runs to Deepak to thank him for everything. She reaches him only to see him dead inside a movie hall.
Deepak is dead only to prove that his love is beyond human comprehension. It is Genuine. It is Immortal.
