Sachein is a 2005 Indian Tamil-language romantic comedy film directed by John, and produced by Kalaipuli S. Thanu. It is a remake of the director's 2002 Telugu film Neetho.[2][3] The film stars Vijay in the title role along with Genelia and Bipasha Basu, while Vadivelu, Santhanam, and Raghuvaran play supporting roles. The film marked the Tamil film debut of Bipasha Basu. The score and soundtrack is composed by Devi Sri Prasad.[4] Jeeva and V. T. Vijayan handled the cinematography and editing respectively.
Sachein released on 14 April 2005 to mostly positive reviews and was a commercial success, remaining in theaters for more than 200 days.[5]
The film was a profitable venture, in which producer Thanu wanted to give one crore extra salary from the profit to Vijay, but the latter however asked him to use it for other film production purposes.[6]
