Interesting facts

Kalakalappu (transl. Humour) is a 2012 Indian Tamil-language comedy film directed by Sundar C. Produced by Avni Cinemax and UTV Motion Pictures, the film stars Vimal, Shiva, Anjali, Oviya and Santhanam, with music composed by Vijay Ebenezer. It revolves around a restaurant owner and his brother seeking to save the restaurant from closure.

Production

A report in December 2010 suggested that Sundar C would quit acting, after his films successively failed, and concentrate on directing only. By September 2011, he was confirmed to be developing a film with Vimal and Shiva as the lead actors. Shiva said Sundar wrote his character with him in mind but let him improvise to his liking. Sundar said that idea of the film occurred to him during the shooting of Murattu Kaalai (2012).

Filming began on 2 November in Kumbakonam. Majority of the film was shot in Gobichettipalayam. Ilavarasu was supposed to appear in drag in one scene but could not shave his moustache which he needed for another film. The makers instead adorned him with a wig used by Vadivelu in Sundar's Nagaram Marupakkam (2010) and soon a "bright orange pant and colourful shirt".
