Y Not Studios which funded Madhavan’s Irudhi Suttru had been satisfactory in bankrolling movies for Maddy after its worldwide success. They had offered to produce another movie for him that will be a dual hero flick. \r\n\r\nThe makers have decided the other hero to be Vijay Sethupathi and both have heard the script and nodded positive for it. We also hear that the story is so good that the actors have said okay to share the screen space.\r\n\r\nThis movie will be directed by Pushkar-Gayathri couple who earlier directed a black comedy film Va Quarter Cutting which was also produced by Y Not Studios. Pushkar had also been supportive to director Sudha Kongra, the maker of Irudhi Suttru and eventually developed a good rapport with Madhavan.\r\n

Madhavan is an Indian actor, writer, film producer and television host. Madhavan has received two Filmfare Awards, an award from the Tamil Nadu State Film Awards alongside recognition and nominations from other organisations. He has been described as one of the few actors in India who is able to achieve pan-Indian appeal, appearing in films from seven different languages.\r\nMadhavan began his acting career with television guest appearances, including a role on the Zee TV prime-time soap opera Banegi Apni Baat in 1996. After appearing in commercials and in small roles, he later gained recognition in the Tamil film industry through Mani Ratnam's successful romantic film Alaipayuthey (2000). Madhavan soon developed an image as a romantic hero with notable roles in two of 2001's biggest grossers, Gautham Menon's directorial debut Minnale and Madras Talkies' Dumm Dumm Dumm. He worked with Ratnam again in the critically acclaimed 2002 film Kannathil Muthamittal playing the father of an adopted girl, whilst he enjoyed commercial success with his role in Linguswamy's action film, Run (2002).\r\nHe was cast opposite Kamal Haasan in the 2003 drama Anbe Sivam, which earned him two notable awards for supporting actor. In 2004 he gave a critically acclaimed performance in the multi-starrer drama Aayutha Ezhuthu and the film secured him his first Filmfare Award for the intense portrayal of a rogue. In the mid-2000s Madhavan also pursued a career in Hindi films, writing the dialogues for the comedy Ramji Londonwaley, before appearing in supporting roles in two big-budget productions, Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra's Rang De Basanti and Mani Ratnam's biopic Guru. He then won acclaim for his portrayal of angry man in his home production in 2007, Evano Oruvan, whilst two years later he appeared in the successful bilingual horror film Yavarum Nalam.
