Vaaranam Aayiram was under production since late 2006 in India.
The film was postponed further from 25 October 2008 (Diwali weekend) as Gautham Menon later sold the distribution rights from Gemini Film Circuit to Adlabs in order to ensure a wide release
 In mid-2006, Menon planned a script for Suriya, which will be produced under his newly launched Photon Film Factory, and he expressed that the film will not be a sequel to Kaakha Kaakha, but a romantic thriller film with titles such as Naan Thaan and Udal Porul Aavi were considered
