Kalavaadiya Pozhuthugal (2017)

Interesting facts

Kalavaadiya Pozhuthugal is a 2017 Indian Tamil-language romantic drama film written and directed by Thankar Bachan. It stars Prabhu Deva and Bhumika Chawla, while Prakash Raj, Inbanila and Ganja Karuppu play supporting roles. Sathyaraj played a guest role as Periyar E. V. Ramasamy, reprising his role from Periyar (2007). After beginning production in 2009, the film produced by Ayngaran International experienced delays due to the studio's financial problems, before being released on 29 December 2017. It was praised for its story during its release.

Production

Thangar Bachan took time to convince Prabhu Deva to play the lead role, with the actor turning back on his initial decision to reject the film, and subsequently the venture began principal photography on 25 March 2009. During the making of the film, it was believed that the film may be shot in the US, but the team chose to stay in India, with the shoot finished by late 2009.

However, the producers' financial troubles meant that the film's release was delayed for 7 years. Likewise Ayngaran's other films shot in the late 2000s like the Jai-starrer Arjunan Kadhali and the Jeevan-starrer Krishnaleelai remain unreleased, while projects such as the A. R. Rahman musical, Kadhir's Manavar Dhinam with Vinay, were shelved after being launched.
