Cast

Production

The film's launch was held in front of the Tiruparankunram Sri Subramaniaswamy temple near Madurai on 25 September 2008 with scenes for a song, "Kan Thiranthan Kandhan", also being shot near the temple.[4] When Srikanth Deva was composing songs on the beaches of Pondicherry he was mobbed by fans and police came to his rescue.[5]

In March 2009, the lead actor Jai ran into trouble for making controversial comments about the potential box office fare of his future films. The actor, who was filming for Vaamanan, Aval Peyar Thamizharasi, Adhe Neram Adhe Idam and Arjunan Kadhali at the time, revealed that only Vaamanan would do well and the rest would become financial failures. The producer of this film also revealed he wanted to take action against Jai for "making such irresponsible and damaging statements about his own films."[6] Initially, the council had asked him to complete his pending assignments before he could start work on Venkat Prabhu's Goa, but, the producer of the film, Soundarya Rajinikanth, intervened and bailed Jai out of the ban.[7]

The film progressed slowly and by December 2010, Jai revealed he had finished his portions for the film.[8] The film has been delayed by Ayngaran International's financial problems.

Soundtrack

Soundtrack is composed by Srikanth Deva who is the brother-in-law of this film's director Parthi bhaskar while his father Deva composed only one song "Kanthirandhan Kandhan" on the insistence of producer.[9] Lyrics for songs were written by Vaali, Kabilan, Nadhasan and director Parthi Bhaskar himself. The audio was released on 4 April 2013.
