Production

Vietnam Veedu was the first full-length play written by Sundaram, and intended for the United Amateur Artistes (UAA) troupe, co-founded by his mentor Y. G. Parthasarathy. After writing the script, he approached Parthasarathy, who was uninterested in the play being staged. It later caught the attention of Sivaji Ganesan who, impressed with the script, decided to stage it through his Sivaji Nataka Manram troupe.
