Jayikkanaai Janichavan ( Born to win ) is a muti-starrer written and produced by Sreekumaran Thampi in 1978. Sasikumar is the director.
Sreekumara Thampi was directing only family oriented films then. He engaged hitmaker Sasikumar as director for the action-and entertainment films produced by him.. Sreekumaran Thampi changed his mind and started directing action  films because his close friend action hero Jayan compelled him to do it. Films like Puthiya Velicham, Nayattu ,and Akramanam etc thus  followed.
Jayikkanai Janichavan is the first colour film Produced by Sreekumaran Thampi.
The film gives importance to karatte....A chinese actress  is also included in the cast.Two cars jumping over Railway levelcross  and a fight between Premnazeer and Jayan in a two seater Aeroplane are the highlights of this film. Thyagarajan was the fight director.

Two cars one FORD and Ambassador owned by Sreekumaran Thampi were fully damged in the chase and levelcross jump.....
writer producer Sreekumaran Thampi made this costly colour film
when he was just 37.
Ashok Kumar was the cinematographer. Sreekumaran Thampi requested him to work with Sasikumar and he agreed.  Institute product Ashok kumar was working only in offbeat art films at that period.
This is the first film in which Ashok kumar joined with a Commecial film maker. Enchanting melodies of Sreekumaran Thampi- Arjunan team are everlasting.
