Interesting facts

Unnai Ninaithu is a 2002 Indian Tamil-language romantic drama film written and directed by Vikraman. It stars Suriya, Laila and Sneha in the lead roles while Ramesh Khanna, Charle, R. Sundarrajan and Ramji play supporting roles. The film was released on 10 May 2002 and became a commercial success. It was remade into Telugu by the same director as Cheppave Chirugali (2004) Kannada as Krishna (2007).

Production

Vijay, who worked with Vikraman in Poove Unakkaga (1996), was chosen by him to play the lead role in Unnai Ninaithu and the actor shot for a few days before opting out of the project, owing to creative differences. He was subsequently replaced by Suriya. Vikraman also briefly considered casting actor Prashanth, before finalising Suriya. In 2026, Vikraman shared an unreleased version of the song "Ennai Thalattum", featuring Vijay and Laila.

The team predominantly shot the film in Chennai and Visakhapatnam areas, while songs were shot in Malaysia, Thailand and Sri Lanka. The team travelled to Kandy and the Ramboda Falls to film sequences across Sri Lanka, and it became the first film by director Vikraman to be shot outside India. Suriya performed a stunt sequence, where his character jumps into a well of 100 feet (30 m) depth, after refusing a stunt double.
