Production

In December 2013, Vishnuvardhan announced that he was scripting an action romantic-comedy film featuring his brother Kreshna along with Arya in the lead roles.[1][2] The story of the film, written by writer duo Subha, is based on a novel of the same name that the pair had written. The film was subsequently launched on 14 April 2014, with the cast and crew of the film announced at the launch event.[3] Vishnuvardhan besides directing, also decided to produce the film in association with UTV Motion Pictures.[4]

In May 2014, Kannada actress Deepa Sannidhi was signed up as the pair of Arya,[5] while Swathi Reddy was chosen as the second female lead,[6] with the actress stating that she had "a strong, supportive character".[7] RJ Balaji stated in June that he had shot for the film for two days in Chennai,[8] while director S J Surya too agreed to perform a guest role, shooting for three days in October.[9] Adil Hussain was signed for an important role, making his Tamil film debut, who said his role was "versatile, layered and has a lot of grey shades" while adding that the story was "amazingly complex yet gripping".[10] Y Gee Mahendra was given the role of a politician, with the actor stating that his character played an "important role in the unfurling of events in the film".[11]

Critical reception

Malini Mannath of New Indian Express wrote "Yatchan, a promising scenario in the first half, is a let down in the second half".[12] M Suganth of Times of India wrote "Yatchan's failing is that despite moments that click, it fails to come together as a whole. The wildness of the tone makes it hard for us to take things seriously or care for the characters".[13] Rediff rated 2 out of 5 and mentioned "The unexciting screenplay, coupled with the lacklustre performances, make Yatchan an ordinary fare".[14] Behindwoods rated 2.5 out of 5 and wrote "Yatchan is not a film that might put a smile on your face when you leave the cinema hall but at the same time it is not a film that would make you regret either. Certainly it has some highpoints. It would have been great if it was consistently entertaining and edgy".[15] Moviecrow wrote "Yatchan is poorly directed with uninspiring performances and slipshod screenplay".[16]
