Development[edit]
During the production of Aadukalam, Vetrimaaran simultaneously readied up another script titled Vada Chennai and it was announced that Karthi signed the film in October 2009.[3] In February 2010, it was revealed that the film would see Karthi play the lead role of a fisherman who is drawn into a mafia gang unwillingly.[4] It was reported that the film would be produced by Dayanidhi Azhagiri and the female lead role would be portrayed by Anushka Shetty, who would play a Marwari girl.[5] However talks with Karthi fell though after the film became delayed and in July 2010, Vetrimaaran revealed that discussions were being held with three lead actors to play the lead role.[6] The film made news without an official announcement over the next year and following the success of Aadukalam, it was reported that the director was reconsidering making the project with indications suggesting that he would make a historical drama film with Suriya instead.[7] In October 2011, the producers announced that the film would start soon and would feature Silambarasan, Rana Daggubati and Kishore in pivotal roles, with Vetrimaaran adding that Vada Chennai was supposed to be his first filmand that he took notes from the first script to make his other two films.[8][9] Vetrimaaran's usual team of cinematographer Velraj, editor T. Kishore, art director Jackie and music director G. V. Prakash Kumar were also confirmed to be a part of the crew.[10] The director however denied that Amala Paul was signed on to play the female lead, but confirmed that Andrea Jeremiah would play a pivotal supporting role.[11] Divya Spandana, who previously worked with Vetrimaaran in Polladhavan, was approached for a role in the film in January 2012.[12] In a turn of events, Rana Daggubati opted out of the film in February 2012 citing date issues and the film's delay. Furthermore it was alleged that the delay of the film had also irked Silambarasan, with reports suggesting that Jiiva would replace him if the actor walked out of the project.[13]
