Development

After the success of Naanum Rowdy Dhaan (2015), Vignesh Shivan had planned a script for a triangular romantic film starring Sivakarthikeyan in the lead role, with actresses Trisha and Nayanthara were under consideration for the female leads.[7] Later in 2016, Vignesh had announced that Vijay Sethupathi will play the lead role in his film, titled as Kaathuvaakula Rendu Kaadhal; Anirudh Ravichander was reported to score the music which marked both Sethupathi and Anirudh's second collaboration with Vignesh after Naanum Rowdy Dhaan.[8] Produced by A. M. Rathnam, the shooting of the film was supposed to go on floors in August 2016, until Vignesh decided to remake the Hindi-language film Special 26 (2013) for his new project, the Suriya-starrer Thaanaa Serndha Koottam (2018)[9] and also to work with Sivakarthikeyan for another film produced by Lyca Productions, which came under the tentative title #SK17.[10]

With #SK17 becoming shelved,[11] Vignesh decided to revisit the script with the same cast and crew members. During the occasion of Valentine's Day (14 February 2020), Vignesh announced the film officially under the same title Kaathuvaakula Rendu Kaadhal,[12] reporting that he will produce the film under his own banner Rowdy Pictures along with Lalit Kumar of Seven Screen Studios.[13] Nayanthara and Samantha were officially announced as the female leads, which is touted to be a love triangle story.[14][15]

Casting

The film was initially announced with Nayanthara and Trisha in the lead roles. However, due to Trisha's exit from the project citing scheduling conflicts, Samantha Ruth Prabhu was later announced as the female lead in February 2020.[16] This film marked the third collaboration of Vijay Sethupathi and Nayanthara after Vignesh's Naanum Rowdy Dhaan (2015) and Imaikkaa Nodigal (2018), where Sethupathi appeared in a cameo role, and his second collaboration with Samantha after Super Deluxe (2019). Anirudh Ravichander was announced as the music director, after regularly collaborated with Vignesh, since Naanum Rowdy Dhaan. Vijay Kartik Kannan, who was initially announced as the cinematographer left the project after completing two schedules of the film, due to date clashes and was replaced by S. R. Kathir.[17] The film marked the debut of Shweta Sabu Cyril (daughter of veteran art director Sabu Cyril), who joined the film's team as the production designer.[18]

Vignesh Shivan announced through his Instagram on 21 March 2021 (World Down Syndrome Day), that, 15-year old Bhargav, who is affected by Down syndrome, will be joining the team as one of the pivotal role.[19] While the makers were tightlipped about the recurring cast members, in October 2021, it was announced that dance choreographer Kala Master will make her acting debut with the film, being a part of the film's supporting cast.[20] In November 2021, veteran actor Prabhu announced that he will play an important role in the film,[21] and Indian cricketer S. Sreesanth,[22] Redin Kingsley and Lollu Sabha Maran, confirmed their presence in the project.[21] In the first look released on 15 November, Vignesh revealed the names of the lead characters as Rambo, Kanmani and Khatija respectively.[23][24]

Filming

Principal photography was supposed to take place in April 2020, but was delayed due to the COVID-19 lockdown in India. In May 2020, the production house announced that filming would begin that August.[25] However, on 10 December 2020,[26] the team officially kickstarted the film on floors in Chennai,[27][28][29] with principal photography began from 14 December followed by Vijay Sethupathi's arrival in Hyderabad.[30][31] After the film's first schedule completed within a month, Samantha Ruth Prabhu officially joined the film's sets from January 2021 in Chennai as a part of their second schedule.[32] On 10 February 2021, Vignesh announced that the shooting of the second schedule wrapped.[32]

The third schedule began during March 2021 at Chennai, before filming was delayed due to the second wave of COVID-19.[33] Shooting resumed in Pondicherry in August 2021.[34] On 23 August 2021, a video from the shooting spot was surfaced into the internet. It had the lead actors recreating the song "Valai Osai" from Sathyaa (1988), where the actors also wore costumes similar to that song.[35] With more than 90% of the film's shooting being completed, the makers began post-production activities for the film, with dubbing works began during early-December 2021.[36][37] On 7 December, Vignesh kickstarted the final schedule of the film in Mysore.[38]

The film's seven-song soundtrack were composed by Anirudh Ravichander in his third collaboration with Vignesh as a director, after Naanum Rowdy Dhaan (2015) and Thaanaa Serndha Koottam (2018).[40][41] It is also Anirudh's 25th film as a composer.[42] With the duo's plans of releasing singles occasionally on Valentine's Day,[43][44] the makers released the song "Rendu Kaadhal" on 14 February 2021 which revolves around "double love failure and heartbreak".[21] Anirudh sang this song with female vocals accompanied by Shakthisree Gopalan and Aishwarya Suresh Bindra.[45] Indiaglitz praised the first single "Rendu Kaadhal", saying that the orchestration and melancholic moments "brings the mood to life" and the lyrics of Vignesh Shivan "expresses complex feelings in the simplest manner".[46]

Though Vignesh Shivan announced that the second single will be released in July 2021 in an online interaction with fans,[47] the song which was later titled "Two Two Two" was eventually released on 18 September,[48] which coincided the director's birthday.[33][49] This song also had vocals by Anirudh, along with female singers Sunidhi Chauhan and Sanjana Kalmanje.[33] The track received positive response from music critics and actress Priyanka Chopra, shared and praised the song through social media.[50][51]

On 3 January 2022, the third single track "Naan Pizhai" was launched, which had vocals by Ravi G and Shashaa Tirupati.[52]It revolved around the "Kanmani-Rambo" love story. Ravi was approached to sing the track after Anirudh and Vignesh liked one of his cover versions he crooned during the COVID-19 lockdown.[53] In an interview with Srinivasa Ramanujam of The Hindu, Ravi had said that: "What's most heartening is that it is a melody, which itself is a difficult proposition for composers to churn out in this age of fast-paced peppy numbers. The opportunity to explore such melodies in the film music space is scarce. The first time I listened to the track version, I had goosebumps. That it has clicked with audiences is great news for musicians."[54] The track received positive response for Anirudh's melodious composition,[55] and had crossed above 10 million views in YouTube.[56] A rough cut of this track is sung by Anirudh himself.[52]

On 20 April 2022, the fourth single "Dippam Dappam" was released which is about the "Khatija-Rambo" love story. It had vocals by Anthony Daasan and Anirudh. The track received positive reviews for its upbeat tunes and the chemistry between Samantha and Vijay Sethupathi.[57]

Reception

Critical response

The movie received mixed to positive reviews from critics and audience. Manoj Kumar R of The Indian Express wrote "Something is not right with this Vijay Sethupathi-Nayanthara and Samantha starrer. Fast forward 12 years, we have Kaathu Vaakula Rendu Kaadhal. We also see Rambo enjoying the benefits and privileges of dating two women at the same time. And then we also see these women competing hard against each other to win over the undivided attention of the man they are in so much love with."[61].
