An elderly Krishnan (Suriya) returns home after a haircut, vomits blood, and is kept to rest. After the doctor checks him, he is reported dead. His son Surya (Suriya), on his way to Kashmir on a rescue mission, travelling in a helicopter, is informed about this. Even though Surya proceeds with the rescue, he starts to think about all the memories of him, his parents and the incidents.

Krishnan and Malini both attend Madras Christian College. They fall in love, get married, and have a son, Surya. Krishnan and Surya grow as friends rather than a father-son. Years later, after finishing college in Trichy, he meets Meghna (Sameera Reddy) and falls for her. Meghna tells Surya that she has seen him at a few cultural events. Taking his chance, he proposes to her, but Meghna doesn't accept, because she doesn't believe in love at first sight. Unable to give up, Surya ends up at her home only to learn that she is leaving for Berkeley to get her Masters degree.

Meanwhile, Krishnan suffers his First Attack.^{[clarification needed]} Reality strikes Surya and he decides to take care of his family and starts working with his friends and also does some concerts.^{[clarification needed]} A few months later, on his father's advice, Surya tracks down Meghna in the United States. Though surprised by his move, Meghna makes him stay with her and they start to understand each other more.

Once he starts withdrawing, they ask him to go on a trip or take a long break to rejuvenate.He takes a leisure trip to Kashmir. There he learns, Aditya, Shankar Menon's son, has been kidnapped. He visits them in Delhi. Knowing that the police department's lethargic attitude won't help, he decides to handle it and goes in search of the kidnappers. After days of roaming and acting so low to even sell girls, he finds Dabbu Malik who directs him to the kidnapper, Asad (Babloo Prithiveeraj). With no preparation and falling into all mess alone, he overpowers them intelligently and rescues Adithya.

Back home, Surya starts to go out with Priya who ends up proposing him and also confesses that she was in love right from their childhood but Surya is stunned and does not respond.

Production[edit]

Development[edit]

Following Kaakha Kaakha in 2003, the director Gautham Menon and Suriya expressed their desire to work together on a film. In early 2005, the pair got together for a film tentatively titled Chennaiyil Oru Mazhaikaalam which featured Asin Thottumkal in the lead role and Daniel Balaji in a supporting one. However, after a photo shoot, the film was delayed and then subsequently called off.^[3] Nevertheless, in 2006, producer Venu Ravichandran signed up the pair for a new film, which they confirmed was not going to be a sequel of their previous venture; it was going to be a romantic thriller. Initially titles such as Naan Thaan^[4] and Udal Porul Aavi^[5] were considered for the project, but Menon announced the title was Vaaranam Aayiram, title derived from 'Nachiyar Thirumozhi' with the literal meaning of 'the strength of a thousand elephants'.^[6] According to Menon, he received the news of his father’s death while he was travelling in an aeroplane in 2007; this incident inspired him to direct Vaaranam Aayiram which begins in a similar manner.^[7]

Before the start of shooting, technical crew members were signed up, and the shoot commenced without a leading lady on 24 November 2006 at a nightclub in Chennai. In 2007, it was announced that a 10-day shoot in Afghanistan would be followed by shooting in Malaysia, Russia and the United States. However, the film only completed a shoot at the University of California, Berkeley in Berkeley, US, and shooting was not held in Afghanistan.^[8]

In November 2007, Gautham Menon decided to send the reels back to Chennai from San Francisco. Two of the production managers were assigned the task of bringing the reels to the producer's office. But they stayed in Singapore for a couple of days before returning to Chennai. Following their arrival, it was understood the reels went missing in the hotel they stayed in at Singapore, but a search by the police proved unsuccessful. The whole crew of Vaaranam Aayiram was in a fix as the reels held fight scenes, songs and other scenes worth $500,000. Soon after, the reels were found with the Singapore airport authorities.^[9] The film finished its shoot in August 2008.^[10]

A song was filmed by an assistant cameraman with a high-tech camera, costing about Rs. 1.5 crore, fastened to his hip. While the assistant was moving behind the actors canning the shots, he tripped unexpectedly and the camera broke to pieces. The shot resumed a day later with a similar camera.^[11]

Vaaranam Aayiram was believed to be based on the Dutch film by Mike van Diem, Character; others have claimed that it is inspired by the 1994 Hollywood film, Forrest Gump, starring Tom Hanks. Menon too admitted the film will draw inspirations from Forrest Gump but would be fixed to suit the Indian audience.^[12] Furthermore, Menon stated that Surya Sivakumar will be seen playing the dual roles of a 21-year-old and his father and that the film will be society themed. It was set to release in 2007 and was delayed for a 14 November 2008 release.^[13] The audio of Vaaranam Aayiram was released on 24 September 2008. Menon has described the film as 'autobiographical and a very personal story and if people didn’t know, that 70% of this [the film] is from my life'.^[14][15] Suriya lost weight without using capsules and prepared a six-pack for the film through an eight-month fitness regime.^[16][17]

Casting[edit]

After the cancellation of Chennaiyil Oru Mazhaikaalam, originally starring Surya Sivakumar, Asin Thottumkal and Daniel Balaji, Gautham Menon, keeping the male leads the same, wanted to opt for a new heroine to begin Vaaranam Aayiram. Deepika Padukone was signed up and set to make her debut in Tamil films; she backed out due to the inactivity and signed the Bollywood film, Om Shanti Om.^{[18][better source needed]} Soon after, another confirmed heroine, Andrea Jeremiah, was dropped from the film for unknown reasons.^[19] Asin expressed her desire to be a part of the project, but the male lead, Surya, refuted her offer citing that she had walked out of his previous film, Sillunu Oru Kadhal and refused to act opposite him.^[20]

The producers then announced the film with Divya Spandana, who was making her comeback to Tamil films and Genelia D'Souza in the lead roles.^[21] Soon after the start of the shoot, Genelia decided to walk out, after Menon refused to pay the hefty salary that she was demanding and was receiving in Telugu films allowing Sameera Reddy to act in her first Tamil film. Simran Bagga signed and completed her shoots swiftly after she was selected to portray the mother of Surya,^[13][22] after Tabu had rejected the role.^[23] TV actress Deepa Venkat and playback singer Chinmayi dubbed for actresses Simran Bagga and Sameera Reddy respectively.

Soundtrack[edit]

The film has seven songs composed by Harris Jayaraj. All Lyrics are penned by Thamarai, . The songs from the albums were released to four leading radio stations in Chennai, with one song per station, in attempt to popularise it five days before the official launch.

Critical response[edit]

The album received positive reviews from music critics. Indiaglitz stated 'Varanam Aayiram' is no doubt one of the best from Harris Jeyaraj and Gautham duo. It is energetic and entertaining. A must listen musical score that is serene even while repeated.'^[27] Malathy Sundaram from Behindwoods gave a 4/5 rating and praised the album calling it a 'blockbuster' further citing 'The guitar simply enthralls you. So do the native drums. There is a slight monotony in the instrumentation, but it doesn’t seem to affect the overall effect. Thaamarai needs to be complimented for the soft lyrics.'^[24] Pavithra Srinivasan from Rediff gave a 3.5/5 rating and said 'Put together, you definitely feel that Harris Jayaraj has set out to provide quality music with a difference.'^[25]

Critical reception[edit]

Sify stated that it is a 'film straight from the heart'.^[32]Indiaglitz reviewed that it 'proves to be a tame affair' but stated that 'Suriya the actor rocks throughout'.^[33]Behindwoods rated it 2.5/5 stating that 'what could have been a subtly told story turns into a sloppy fare' and 'there are touching and heart-warming moments in the movie but, they are few and far between'.^[34]Rediff gave the film 3/5 and called it a 'moving story', further mentioning that 'It might be just a feather in Gautam's hat. As for Surya, it's an ostrich plume, a justified triumph.'^[35]The Hindu said, 'The same combo came together for Kaakha Kaakha and signed off with a flourish not so long ago! Of course Vaaranam .. does have some great moments, but it’s a lengthy film, and you feel it!'^[36]
