Interesting facts

Kadhalikka Neramillai is a 2025 Indian Tamil-language romantic comedy film written and directed by Kiruthiga Udhayanidhi. It is produced by Udhayanidhi Stalin under Red Giant Movies. The film stars Ravi Mohan and Nithya Menen in the lead roles, alongside Vinay Rai, Yogi Babu, T.J. Bhanu and Lal. It is loosely inspired from the 2010 American romantic comedy The Switch.

Production

Director Kiruthiga Udhayanidhi revealed that the inspiration for Kadhalikka Neramillai stemmed from a conversation with friends about their unconventional relationships. This sparked the idea for a romantic comedy-drama reflecting the evolving dynamics of relationships and choices, particularly those relevant to women.

In May 2023, reports indicated that Jayam Ravi would collaborate with Nithya Menen in a film directed by Kiruthiga Udhayanidhi. The project was funded by Udhayanidhi Stalin's production house, Red Giant Movies. In October 2023, Menen confirmed her involvement in the project, followed by an official announcement and title reveal on November 29, 2023.

Kiruthiga described the film as an evolution of O Kadhal Kanmani, which also featured Nithya Menen. She stated, “Several women are not just abstaining from marriage, but are also questioning whether to bring a child into this world. We explore these subjects without being preachy.”

After completing the script, Kiruthiga envisioned Nithya Menen for the lead role, influenced by her performance in Thiruchitrambalam. After narrating the story to Nithya, she readily agreed. Kiruthiga then informed Ravi Mohan of Menen's agreement, and he expressed his willingness to read the script.

The film commenced with a formal pooja on August 20, 2023, followed by the start of principal photography on August 21, 2023, which took place in and around Chennai.
