7 Aum Arivu is a 2011 Indian Tamil-language science fiction action film written and directed by A. R. Murugadoss and produced by Udhayanidhi Stalin under Red Giant Movies. The film features Suriya in dual roles, along with Shruti Haasan, and Johnny Trí Nguyễn. In the film, a genetics student enlists the help of a descendant of Bodhidharma, to revive Bodhidharma's skills to stop a Chinese mercenary with hypnotic powers from starting a government-planned biological war against India.

Production

In late 2009, director A. R. Murugadoss intended to collaborate with Salman Khan to remake the Telugu film Kick (2009), which was produced by Sajid Nadiadwala. But the plans did not materialise and Murugadoss later decided to collaborate with Suriya for another project. It was produced by Udhayanidhi Stalin under Red Giant Movies, in their fourth production venture following Kuruvi (2008), Aadhavan (2009) and Manmadan Ambu (2010).

Murugadoss was intrigued on learning about the descendants of the Buddhist monk Bodhidharma being tracked to Tamil Nadu. Though people worship him for spreading Zen Buddhism and martial arts, and being deified in several parts of the world, there had been minimal awareness in India. As a result, he researched extensively on providing details that referred to Bodhidharma and his ancestors. It took him nearly ten-months for the pre-production.

Suriya portrayed two different roles—one being Bodhidharma, and the other being his fictional descendant, a circus artist. Speaking to Radhika Rajamani of Rediff.com, he said it took him a long time to authentically portray the character, and a lot of effort was required.

The film marked Shruti Haasan's Tamil debut as a lead actress, after having previously acted in Hindi and Telugu films. She played the role of a scientist researching Bodhidharma's roots. Murugadoss said he wanted a beautiful and intelligent woman, hence he chose Haasan for the role. Vietnamese American actor and martial artist Johnny Trí Nguyễn was signed to play the antagonist.

"There are quite a few scenes that have elaborate fights between Suriya and me [...] When I started work on 7am Arivu, I had no expectations. But I was pleasantly surprised when Murugadoss asked me to shoot a lengthy action scene on a highway in the middle of a traffic jam on the very first day of the schedule. Cars were flipping and vehicles were crashing all around.
