Mr.Bharath is a Tamil film is directed by Sp.Muthuraman. Rajnikanth enjoyed a fruitful association with S.P.Muthuraman, the two of them giving huge commercial hits like Murattu Kaalai and Nallavanukku Nallavan under the AVM banner. Mr.Bhaarath, once again for AVM productions, was one of their successful ventures. On paper, the movie has all the ingredients for a surefire hit. Apart from the proven Rajnikanth-S.P.Muthuraman combination, it also has Satyaraj, who was proving to be a very popular villain, Ilaiyaraja's music and was based on an Amitabh starrer Trishul, a huge hit in Hindi.
