‘Vinnaithandi Varuvaya’ has brought in marked changes in the way Silambarasan was looking at life. After working with Gautham Menon, Silambarasan wants to ensure he brings in a sophisticated class act in everything he does.

So he voluntarily approached the master of lights PC Shriram to work for him in his directorial venture ‘Vaaliban’. PC Shriram is very selective in accepting new projects and never accepts work for new directors. But Silambarasan managed to convince the veteran and how?

Siilambarasan went to PC Sriram and said that he is a great fan of Sriram’s photography and is dying to work for a film by him. Moved by Simbu’s sincere request the camera legend agreed to do the film even before asking for the story. PC Sriram whose earlier commitment ‘24’ by Vikram K. Kumar was dropped also had the time.

‘Vaaliban’ is produced by SS Charavarthy. Music is by Yuvan Shankar Raja. The film is getting ready to be a very big project and the team is planning to shoot a patriotic song with a lot of national flags in scene as it was done for the AR Rahman’s ‘Vande Matharan’ album.
