Vinnaithaandi Varuvaayaa (Tamil: விண்ணைத்தாண்டி வருவாயா, English: Will you Cross the Skies for Me?) is a 2010 romantic Tamil film directed and written by Gautham Menon, which features Silambarasan Rajendar and Trisha Krishnan in the lead roles. The film, produced by four producers and distributed by Udhayanidhi Stalin, features a successful music soundtrack composed by A. R. Rahman, cinematography by Manoj Paramahamsa and editing by Anthony Gonsalves. The film's story was also simultaneously shot and released by Menon in the Telugu language as Ye Maaya Chesave with a different cast.[1]
The film explores the complicated relationship between a Hindu Tamil assistant director, Karthik, and a Syrian Christian girl, Jessie. Karthik, a young filmmaker, falls in love with Jessie only to be met by her indifference; she is more shocked than impressed. Having a conservative background- Malayali Christians from Alappuzha- her family will never consent and Karthik is rebuffed every time. They make a tentative arrangement to be just friends, but a train journey shows them that that cannot happen. Finally, Jessie tells him flatly that she's going to get married, and nothing can stop the wedding. Life turns upside down for Karthik once again and the crux of the plot is whether he manages to convince Jessie to marry him.
The film, began its initial schedule in February 2009, following a mystery launch with a series of publicity posters being launched without details of the cast or crew.[2] Shooting continued through 2009, with the film garnering significant media interest, through schedules in Malta and the United States.[3] Prior to release, the film became the first Tamil project to have a music soundtrack premiered, abroad from India, with a successful launch at the BAFTA in London.[4] The film, released on 26 February 2010, along with the Telugu version to advanced bookings worldwide. Upon release, the film achieved exceptionally positive reviews, with several critics giving the film "classic" status.[5][6]

Development
In late January 2009, speculation arose surrounding a potential collaboration between Silambarasan, Gautham Menon and A. R. Rahman, but neither member confirmed the news.[7] However, in a surprise move, in early February 2009 a poster appeared in Indian papers featuring Silambarasan, but with no other names of crew members. Furthermore, the early poster suggested that the film was titled Vinnaithaandi Varuvaayaa, in homage to the song "Vennilavae Vennilavae" from the the 1997 film, Minsaara Kanavu.[8] Subsequently, each day leading up til Valentine's Day saw the launch of a new poster, still without details of the crew except the inclusion of Trisha Krishnan as the lead actress; posters released after the one tributing Minsara Kanavu were posters of famous stills from Dil Se, Alaipayuthey, Kaakha Kaakha and Geethanjali.[9] The film eventually surfaced as a Gautham Menon film, with music by Rahman and cinematography by Manoj Paramahamsa, with Gautham stating that the film would be return to the love genre after having opted to direct action thriller post his debut venture, Minnale.[10]
