Banner: Simbhu Cine Arts
Production: Silambarasan
Story, screenplay, dialogues and Direction: Silambarasan
Starring: Silambarasan, Genelia D` Souza and Lekha Washington.
Co-starring: Premji, Santhanam, Kamala, Mano Bala, Vinayak and others.
Music: Yuvan Shankar Raja. Vallavan didn`t fetch favorable results for Silambarasan and wanting to make a good film, he kick-started with `Kettavan`, a year ago. Earlier, R.Viswanath of Bharathan Films produced the film and half way through the film, on account of some conflicts, Silambarasan undertook the work of producing this film. Of course, he has also eliminated his assistant G.T.Nandu who directed a few scenes in the film, and now Simbhu has decided to direct the film.
In Vallavan, Simbhu had to deal with reflections of his past, about falling in love with a girl and the torture he underwent. Well, in this film, he depicts his real life incidents about his love affair with actress Nayanthara and the break-up in reel life!
With none of the leading actresses accepting the offer of being paired with Simbhu, TV anchor Lekha Washington took up the challenge. It is not certain, whether she is still there in the film or not as the buzz states that Simbhu has got rid of her from the film.Rumours say that Genelia D Souza has replaced Lekha.in the lead role.
Vijay Milton, well-acclaimed for his cinematography in films like `Kadhal` handles the camera. Like always, in Simbhu`s flick, there are no prizes for guessing who’s composing the music! The music director is Yuvan Shankar Raja, yet again. Both Simbhu and Yuvan are already through with the recording, and the composing took place in Bangkok. Lyrics have been penned by Vaali and Na. Mutthu Kumar.
Brindha, Kalyan, Robert and Yaasin are the choreographers while Stun Siva handles the stunts.
