Interesting facts

Vetri Selvan is a 2014 Indian Tamil language drama thriller film written and directed by Rudhran. Produced on Srushti Cinemas banner and Silicon Studios, the film stars Ajmal Ameer and Radhika Apte, while Mano and Sheriff appear in pivotal roles. The original music and background score of the film were composed by Mani Sharma. Cinematography was handled by Ramesh Kumar, while editing was by Kishore Te.

Production

The film began shooting in March 2012, with director Rudhran revealing he had originally written the script with Vijay in mind to play the lead role. Ajmal was signed for the lead role, that of a student, and singer Mano was reported to play a "prominent character", that of a professor in the film, acting in a film again after Singaravelan. Sherif, the winner of a reality show, was given the role of a dancer.

During the shoot, Ajmal and the film's lead actress Radhika Apte were travelling in an auto on the hills of Ooty as part of the film when the auto rammed into a median, fell, and stumbled down the road. The shoot halted for a couple of hours, giving time for Ajmal to recuperate. The director had to find another auto similar to the previous one to continue with the shooting, as the initial one was heavily damaged during the accident.
