Interesting facts

Vedi (transl. Firecracker) is a 2011 Indian Tamil-language action film directed by Prabhu Deva. The film stars Vishal, Sameera Reddy and Poonam Kaur, while Vivek, Sayaji Shinde, and Urvashi play supporting roles. A remake of the 2008 Telugu film Souryam, it was released on 30 September 2011.

Production

Initially Trisha Krishnan was approached for the lead female role but turned it down as the role did not excite her. Similarly Anushka Shetty refused the project, while Hansika Motwani cited that her call sheet was full. Reports emerged that Samantha, Kajal Aggarwal, Tamannaah Bhatia and Reema Sen were considered, before the role was handed to Sameera Reddy.

Vishal began his first schedule in February 2011, after completing work on his other film Avan Ivan. An item number featuring Sophie Choudry was choreographed by the director Prabhu Deva. By May 2011, it was reported that 80% of the shoot was completed after scenes were shot in Bidar, a district in the north of Karnataka.
