Vettai (Tamil: வேட்டை ; English: Hunt) is an upcoming Indian Tamil action film written and directed by N. Linguswamy,[3] that stars Madhavan, Arya, Sameera Reddy and Amala Paul in the lead roles.[4] The film revolves around two brothers settled in Thoothukudi, with the elder one working as a police officer. The film score is composed by Yuvan Shankar Raja, while cinematography is by Nirav Shah and editing handled by Anthony Gonsalves.[5]

The film became announced shortly after the release of Lingusamy's Paiyaa, with Dhayanidhi Alagiri's Cloud Nine Movies agreeing to produce the film, following a successful collaboration during the director's previous film.[6] During a lengthy pre-production phase, the film, however, underwent major changes in its main cast and Cloud Nine Movies stepped out of the project, with Linguswamy's own banner, Thirupathi Brothers, taking up the film.[7] The shooting of the film, initially planned to begin by mid-2010,[8] commenced in March 2011 eventually,[9] and is set to release on 13 January, 2012.[1]

Production

Development

In April 2010, following the success of Paiyaa, Cloud Nine Movies, who had distributed the film, announced a successive collaboration with the film's director N. Linguswamy,[6][10] who would make a romantic action film with Silambarasan in the lead role.[8] For pre-production works, the crew of the team subsequently headed to Macau to work out the script,[11] following which Lingusamy moved to the Orange County resort in Coorg, Karnataka to finalize the script.[12] Later that month a photo shoot was completed, with Silambarsan sporting the get up of an NCC cadet,[13] However, in July 2010, reports suggested that Silambarasan was dropped from the project, since he suddenly, without informing Lingusamy and Dhayanidhi, signed and started filming on another project called Vaanam.[14] Silambarasan, in return, revealed that he hadn't officially signed Cloud Nine's film, and only decided to work on Vaanam, since Lingusamy wasn't able to narrate the complete script, despite making him wait for over 100 days.[15] Controversially, Silambarasan later signed another film in September 2010, which was similarly titled as Vettai Mannan.[16][17]

Eventually in September 2010, the film was official announced at a press meet with the title Vettai, with Arya replacing Silambarasan. At the press meet, he revealed that he worked for over three months on the script, keeping his editor Anthony Gonsalvez and cinematographer Nirav Shah updated about the developments.[18] The film's principal photography was initially supposed to commence in June 2010,[19] but due to pre-production works, it got delayed further and was postponed to December.[20] The film was announced as a bilingual project, to be shot separately in Tamil and Telugu. The Telugu version was supposed to be produced by Tirupati Prasad of Mega Supergood Films and feature Mahesh Babu in the lead role,[12] with Madhavan reprising his role.[4] In March 2011, Cloud Nine Movies stepped out of the project, which prompted Linguswamy to produce Vettai, too, under his home banner Thirupathi Brothers along with his brother Subash Chandrabose.[7][21]

Casting

After Silambarasan's exit, Vijay was expected to enact the lead role, who had earlier agreed to star in a Lingusamy film in future,[22] and was subsequently approached by the team.[14] He, however, declined the offer, not willing to play a role that was "originally written keeping in mind the image of another actor".[22] Only in September 2010, during the official announcement, it became apparent that Arya was signed on to reprise the lead role. Furthermore, Linguswamy was trying to rope in Madhavan for another leading role, while, several days later, sources reported that Madhavan definitely had rejected the offer.[23] The next month, however, it was confirmed that Madhavan was roped in to enact the role as a police officer and brother of Arya's character.[4]

The lead female role was reported to be essayed by Tamannaah Bhatia, who had been part of Linguswamy's Paiyaa as well. In an interview later, she disclosed that she wasn't approached earlier and though she liked the script, she couldn't take the offer, due to her prior commitments.[24] Anushka Shetty then accepted the offer,[25] while Sameera Reddy was signed to play Madhavan's pair in the film, as a village girl.[26] In late November 2010, Anushka pulled out and Amala Paul, following her critically acclaimed performance in Mynaa, was roped in to essay a leading character, as the love interest of Arya's character.[27]

Filming

Originally planned to commence in June 2010, the filming was postponed several times either due to pending pre-production works and unavailibility of the artists.[28] After Arya had finished shooting and dubbing for Avan Ivan, the first schedule was planned to begin on 2 March, which however, was also cancelled as Dhayanidhi wanted the filming to be pushed by another two months, which supposedly was the reason for Linguswamy's decision to produce the film himself. Shooting eventually started on 16 March 2011 in Karaikudi, with Madhavan, Arya, Sameera Reddy and Amala Paul participating.[9] A song "Dumma Dumma Dummaa", choreographed by Brindha, was shot first, with nearly 2000 people being part of the shoot along with the four lead actors.[29][30] A fight sequence, involving Arya and Madhavan, was shot in Pondicherry University sports complex on 24 April.[31] In June 2011, other key action sequences were filmed at Madurai, Thoothukudi, Thanjavur and Aruppukottai.[32] Introduction song of Madhavan and Arya was shot at Thanjavur bharath collage[33] Fight sequence was shot at Andhra Pradesh.[34]Climax fight scene was shot at Binny Mills.[35]
