After enlisting Dharan to compose the music, Vignesh Shivan presented the film to producers, Gemini Film Circuit.

Subsequently, he approached Silambarasan, and both parties reached an agreement to transform it into a feature film titled “Podaa Podi” in 2012. Shanaya Telefilms, the joint producers, generated anticipation by releasing a series of posters in June 2008 to promote the film.

Simultaneously, Silambarasan and Vignesh embarked on a scouting mission in Canada, where they secured filming locations in Orillia and Toronto through negotiations with Mayor Ron Stevens.

However, the film endured a lengthy production period, spanning nearly four years, before finally hitting the screens in October 2012, receiving a mixed reception.

Vignesh Shivan then diversified his involvement in the film industry by assuming roles as a lyricist, directing independent music videos, and making a cameo appearance as an engineer in “Velaiyilla Pattathari” (2014), alongside Dhanush. His second project, “Naanum Rowdy Dhaan” (2015), experienced numerous changes in cast and production studios before settling on Vijay Sethupathi and Nayanthara as the lead actors, with Dhanush serving as the producer.

For his third endeavour, “Thaanaa Serndha Koottam,” he joined forces with Suriya and Keerthy Suresh, with Anirudh Ravichander composing the music. Vignesh Shivan and Nayanthara ventured into film production by establishing Rowdy Pictures, responsible for producing films like “Pebbles” (2021) and “Rocky” (2021).
