Silambaran TR and Gautham Vasudev Menon's upcoming project, which was earlier titled as titled, 'Nadhigalilae Neeradum Suriyan', was changed to 'Vendhu Thanindhathu Kaadu' recently. Initially, Gautham wanted to direct a soft urban romantic film but a new idea broke out and he chose to develop the spark into a rustic thriller.

This project which marks the 47th film of Simbu will have important sequences happening in a village and the actor has further slimmed down nearly 15 kgs to play this intense role. As the team opted for a fresh story, they came up with the new title 'Vendhu Thanindhathu Kaadu'.

While writer Jeyamohan has been roped in to write dialogues for this project, the first look poster of VTK has dropped a few days ago. Currently, the shoot of Vendhu Thanindhathu Kaadu is happening at Tiruchendur. Veteran actress Radhika Sarathkumar has been roped in to play an important role and is shooting alongside STR now.

After the Tiruchendur schedule, the team will also shoot in Chennai and Mumbai. It is said that further schedules of filming will take place abroad as well. Gautham is planning to completely wrap up the Vendhu Thanindhathu Kaadu in three to four months.

According to the latest reports, the makers are in talks with actress Kayadu Lohar to play the heroine opposite Silambarasan, but the actress hasn't signed the film yet. Kayadu Lohar has featured in Marathi, Kannada and Telugu movies in the past.

Produced by Vels Films International, Isai Puyal A.R. Rahman will score music for the lyrics penned by Thamarai. Vendhu Thanindhathu Kaadu marks the third collaboration of GVM - STR - ARR - Thamarai after Vinnaithaandi Varuvaya and Accham Yenbathu Mdamaiyada.
