Interesting facts

Nitham Oru Vaanam is a 2022 Indian Tamil-language romantic drama film written and directed by Ra. Karthik in his directorial debut. The film stars Ashok Selvan in a triple role alongside Ritu Varma, Aparna Balamurali and Shivathmika Rajashekar in the principal roles. Gopi Sundar composed the film's music and cinematography was performed by Vidhu Ayyanna.

Production

The film was first announced to the media in January 2017, when it was reported that Dulquer Salmaan would work on a Tamil film by debutant director R. Karthik, to be produced by Kenanya Films. Described as "romantic entertainer-cum-road movie", Karthik stated that the film would have four lead actresses and that discussions for roles were held with Nivetha Pethuraj and Megha Akash.

After a brief delay, the first look poster of the film was released in June 2018, confirming the identity of the principal crew members. Karthik noted that he initially wanted to title the film as Vaanam – after the sky, which changes its form and colour regularly, like the lead character – but the presence of an earlier film prompted him to choose Vaan.

At the event, Kalyani Priyadarshan and Kriti Kharbanda were announced as two of the lead actresses, with Karthik suggesting that the storyline travels from "Chennai to Kolkata" and that the film would be "along the lines" of Jab We Met (2007). Priya Bhavani Shankar also joined the film's cast in February 2019.

In late June 2021, Viacom18 Studios in association with Rise East Entertainment, relaunched Karthik's directorial debut, with the title being changed to Nitham Oru Vaanam, from Vaan. Several changes were also made to the cast and crew owing to date clashes. Ashok Selvan replaced Dulquer in the lead role, while actresses Ritu Varma, Aparna Balamurali and Shivathmika Rajashekar were cast in the leading female roles.
