Varuthapadatha Valibar Sangam (2013)

Interesting facts

Varuthapadatha Valibar Sangam, also known by the initialism VVS, is a 2013 Indian Tamil-language romantic comedy film directed by Ponram. Produced by P. Madan under Escape Artists Motion Pictures, it stars Sivakarthikeyan, Soori and Sri Divya, with Sathyaraj in a prominent role. In the film, a young man falls in love with the daughter of the village head, who opposes love marriages.

Production

Ponram returned to direction with this film after Thirutham (2007), and M. Rajesh, under whom he was previously worked as assistant director, wrote the dialogues. The title Varuthapadatha Valibar Sangam was derived from a fictional club that features in Winner (2003), and a real club with the same name which Ponram said "treats serious issues with disdain and frivolous issues seriously". The film was produced by P.

Rajesh initially wrote one version of the script, which Ponram had drafted and then had changed the normal version of the dialogues to suit its village-centric theme. While writing the story, he would often provide feedback from Rajesh suggesting any changes in the script. Since Rajesh knew about the progress of the script from its inception, Ponram insisted him to write the dialogues, to which Rajesh agreed.

Ponram narrated the script to at least 12 actors before Sivakarthikeyan was finalised as the lead character; Shakthi Vasudevan was one of the actors previously considered. Soori was chosen to play a comedic role; he previously worked with Sivakarthikeyan in Manam Kothi Paravai (2012) and Kedi Billa Killadi Ranga (2013).

Much of the film's production had been completed before the team officially announced the film; filming was held in various places such as Theni, Tiruchirappalli and Chennai. The final filming schedule was completed in Theni by early July 2013.
