Kadaisi Vivasayi: The Last Farmer (2022) is a Indian Tamil-language drama film by director and producer M. Manikandan. Mayandi, played by Tamil actor Nallandi, is the last active farmer in his remote village in the Indian state of Tamil Nadu. His farm work, his fields and livestock are enough for him, and he refuses to sell his land to a property developer. But Maayandi's pleasantly predictable way of life comes to an abrupt end when he is wrongly accused of killing three peacocks - the national bird of India - and burying them on his property.

Kadaisi Vivasayi received widespread critical acclaim, winning Best Feature Film in Tamil and Special Mention for lead role, Nallandi, at the 69th National Film Awards.
