Chakkaramuthu, the project in which Dileep unites with his mentor Lohithadas after a gap of five years offers much for the star and his fans. After making very less success with action oriented films, Dileep is returning to roles which display his strengths in acting with the film. In Chakkaramuthu he plays a simpleton named Aravindan who is also the expert tailor of the village. He quits school in the fifth standard and took up tailoring and eventually became an expert in the profession. Being a person who blindly believed in others, he was often the laughing stock of the people in the village as he always landed in foolishness, but he never kept a record of that and remained as he used to.

Aravindan who considered everyone before him in equal ways found that he has a special relation with Anitha, the daughter of Devayani teacher. Even though he never had the nerve to tell her about his infatuations, he continued with her as her best friend and just like a member of her family. Aravindan was in distress, whenever a marriage proposal comes for her and gets relieved only when each proposal falls out for one reason or other.
