Unnaipol Oruvan (also released internationally under the translated title Someone Like You) is a 2009 Indian action thriller film directed by Chakri Toleti in his directorial debut. It stars Mohanlal and Kamal Haasan in the lead roles. The film was simultaneously remade in Telugu as Eenadu (transl. Today) with Venkatesh playing Mohanlal's role and is also dubbed in Malayalam as Oru Budhanazcha (transl. A Wednesday). Both are the remakes of the 2008 Hindi film A Wednesday!. Set in Chennai and Hyderabad in the Tamil and Telugu versions respectively, the film depicts the confrontation between an anonymous caller who has planted bombs in the city and wants four terrorists to be released, and a police commissioner who tries to hunt him down.
Released on 18 September 2009, both Unnaipol Oruvan and Eenadu received positive reviews from the critics and were commercially successful.
