Polițist și infractor (2012)

Curiozități

Vettai (transl. Hunt) is a 2012 Indian Tamil-language action comedy film co-produced, written and directed by N. Lingusamy. The film stars Arya and R. Madhavan in the lead roles, while Sameera Reddy, Amala Paul, Ashutosh Rana, Nassar and Thambi Ramaiah appear in supporting roles. The story follows Guru Murthy (Madhavan), a timid and peace-loving constable who lacks confidence, and his younger brother Guna (Arya), a bold, aggressive and fearless policeman. Despite being less capable in the field, Guru often gets credit for arrests, while Guna does the real work behind the scenes.

Production

In April 2010, following the success of Paiyaa, Cloud Nine Movies, who had distributed the film, announced a successive collaboration with the film's director N. Linguswamy, who would make a romantic action film with Silambarasan in the lead role.

Eventually in September 2010, the film was official announced at a press meet with the title Vettai with Arya replacing Silambarasan. At the press meet, he revealed that he worked for over three months on the script, keeping his editor Anthony Gonsalvez and cinematographer Nirav Shah updated about the developments. The film's principal photography was supposed to commence in December 2010.

After Silambarasan's exit, Vijay was expected to enact the lead role, who had earlier agreed to star in a Lingusamy film in future, and was subsequently approached by the team. He, however, declined the offer, not willing to play a role that was "originally written keeping in mind the image of another actor". Only in September 2010, during the official announcement, it became apparent that Arya was signed on to reprise the lead role.

The lead female role was reported to be played by Tamannaah Bhatia, who had been part of Lingusamy's Paiyaa as well. In an interview later, she disclosed that she was not approached earlier and though she liked the script, she could not take the offer due to her prior commitments. Anushka Shetty then accepted the offer, while Sameera Reddy was signed to play Madhavan's pair in the film, as a village girl.

After Arya had finished shooting and dubbing for Avan Ivan, the first schedule of Vettai was planned to begin on 2 March, which however, was also cancelled as Dhayanidhi wanted the filming to be pushed by another two months, which supposedly was the reason for Linguswamy's decision to produce the film himself. Shooting eventually started on 16 March 2011 in Karaikudi, with Madhavan, Arya, Sameera Reddy and Amala Paul participating.
