Curiosità

Oru Kal Oru Kannadi is a 2012 Indian Tamil-language romantic comedy film written and directed by M. Rajesh and produced by Udhayanidhi Stalin under Red Giant Movies. The film stars Udhayanidhi Stalin, Hansika Motwani and Santhanam, with Saranya Ponvannan, Sayaji Shinde and Azhagam Perumal in supporting roles. The story revolves around Saravanan, who travels from Chennai to Puducherry with his friend Parthasarathy, to stop the wedding of his ex-girlfriend Meera. During the trip, he recollects his past with Meera and the events before their break-up.

Production

After being impressed by director M. Rajesh's debut film, Siva Manasula Sakthi (2009), producer Udhayanidhi Stalin of Red Giant Movies wanted to act in the director's next film but was informed that he was already directing Boss Engira Bhaskaran (2010). Udhayanidhi ended up buying that film's distribution rights. After he met Rajesh, both decided to collaborate on a new project.

Though Udhayanidhi made a cameo in Aadhavan (2009), Oru Kal Oru Kannadi is his first proper acting credit. To prepare for his role, he observed Jiiva's mannerisms in Siva Manasula Sakthi. Rajesh cast Hansika Motwani as the lead actress after being impressed with her performance in Engeyum Kadhal (2011). Motwani, a non-Tamil speaker, learned the language at Rajesh's request.

Saranya Ponvannan, who plays Udhayanidhi's mother, said that since the film was a comedy, she was insecure and doubted she could meet the pace of Santhanam and Rajesh who specialise in that genre, despite herself having tried comedy in Em Magan (2005) and Kalavani (2010). Narayan Lucky briefly appears as a potential suitor for Motwani's character who ends up ridiculing her.

A photo shoot featuring Motwani and Udhayanidhi was conducted in February 2011, while principal photography began in mid-March at Chennai. Prior to this, the team conducted rehearsals with Udhayanidhi; Rajesh said, "[Udhayanidhi] acted like a pro. We shot all the scenes on a handycam and were impressed with his performance. He is now clear about his dialogues". The first scene was shot in Madhava Perumal temple, Mylapore.

The team returned to Chennai for filming the climax sequence, held at a resort in East Coast Road. During this schedule, shooting was interrupted due to Chennai-based technician union members' objection to using a Mumbai-based makeup artist for Jeremiah. Udhayanidhi then intervened and asked the makeup artist to leave the set, resulting in the shooting being delayed.
