It's later revealed that the real killer was his manager, who'd grown jealous of the singer, after being rejected by a woman. However, when women who are seen with the singer end up getting murdered, he's suspected of being a serial killer.
Kalaignan: This 1993 film, directed by GB Vijay, had Kamal in the lead, playing Indeerjeeth, a swashbuckling pop singer. The film had shades of Alfred Hitchcock's Psycho. Shoba played a young woman with whom Chandru becomes obsessed. N Vishwanathan played the investigating officer who happens to be Chandru's friend but does not realise what his friend really is. Prathap Pothen played Chandru, who hates sex workers and murders them because of his father who used to frequent brothels and beat up his mother.
Moodu Pani: Two years later, in 1980, came this Balu Mahendra film, which also had a woman-hating serial killer. Sridevi played the innocent wife who discovers his dark secret and yet hopes for their marriage to survive (it was the '70s!) even after he's caught by the police.
Kamal Haasan played the depraved serial killer who has sex with young women and brutally murders them. Sigappu Rojakkal: Bharatiraja's 1978 film starring Kamal Haasan and Sridevi, is about a young boy who is sexually abused and grows up to become a misogynist.
