Development[]

During May 2019, Suriya was reported to work on a project backed by Sun Pictures, in their third collaboration with Suriya after Ayan (2009) and Singam (2010).[18] The film was speculated to be directed by Hari, which would mark his sixth collaboration, following Aaru (2005), Vel (2007) and the Singam franchise, but he eventually exited the project without revealing the actual reasons,[18] but later collaborated with Suriya in another film which was titled Aruvaa, and was produced by Studio Green.[19] But this project was also shelved and Suriya chose to do a film with Pandiraj instead of a project with either Adanga Maru director Karthik Thangavel or an unnamed Telugu director.[20] Pandiraj earlier worked with Suriya, whose production company 2D Entertainment had backed his projects Pasanga 2, which had the latter playing a supporting character and Karthi's Kadaikutty Singam.[21][22]

On the occasion of Dusshera (25 October 2020), Sun Pictures confirmed the project under the title Suriya 40,[23] which deciphers to Suriya's 40th film as a lead actor;[24][25] it also marked Pandiraj's second film with the production house after their collaboration with Sivakarthikeyan starrer Namma Veettu Pillai.[26][27] Unlike Pandiraj's earlier films, which were based on family emotions and sentiments, this film is touted to be an action-drama film, with space for commercial elements.[9] Pandiraj reportedly wrote the story, which is based on the 2019 Pollachi sexual assault case.[28][29][30] The film's title Etharkkum Thunindhavan was officially announced on the eve of Suriya's birthday (22 July 2021), which refers to the 1976 film of the same name, that starred his father Sivakumar in the lead role.[31][32]

Casting[]

Priyanka Arul Mohan was cast as the female lead collaborating with Suriya for the first time and her character is revealed to be Aadhini.

In November 2020, Rashmika Mandanna was reported to play the female lead,[33][34] but Pandiraj refuted the rumours about the casting process.[35][36] In January 2021, the production house announced that D. Imman will compose music for the film, after the successive collaborations with Pandiraj, after Kadaikkutty Singam and Namma Veettu Pillai.[37] The film marks Imman's maiden collaboration with Suriya.[38][39] The same month, Priyanka Arul Mohan was announced as the female lead, bagging her second Tamil film, following Sivakarthikeyan's Doctor (2021).[40] Her character is revealed to be Aadhini and she will essay Suriya’s love interest in the film.[41] Sathyaraj too joined the film in a supporting role.[42] Rajkiran was also announced a part of the film, working with Suriya after two decades, they were last seen in Nandha (2001).[43] Vadivelu was reported to work with Suriya after their last collaboration in Aadhavan (2009), but Soori was eventually announced as a part of the cast.[11] He will reportedly essay the role of the heroine's uncle in the film.[44] Despite rumours of Sarathkumar and Prasanna being offered to play the antagonist in the film, the role eventually went to Vinay Rai.[45][46] Saran Sakthi essayed a character with negative shades in the film.[47] It has been reported that the film has 40 significant characters being present in the film, including Jayaprakash, Saranya Ponvannan, Devadarshini amongst others.[10] Director-actor K. P. Jagan announced being a part of the film and also joined the second schedule in early-September 2021.[48]

Filming[]

The film was launched on 15 February 2021,[49] with the attendance of the principal cast and crew members, excluding Suriya as he was diagnosed with COVID-19.[50][51] The makers filmed few scenes with the ensemble cast without Suriya.[52] After recovering from COVID-19,[53] Suriya joined the film's shooting on 18 March 2021.[54] He shared the shooting still from the film at Binny Mills in Chennai on social media handles, confirming his presence.[55][56] Following a brief schedule for 21 days, the team headed to Madurai for filming major sequences during April 2021.[57][58] An action sequence with a huge crowd was planned to be filmed, but due to the restrictions imposed by the Tamil Nadu government due to the second wave of COVID-19, the plan was dropped considering the safety of the crew members working on the film.[59] By late April 2021, 35% of the film's shooting had been completed before the COVID-19 lockdown was imposed.[60]

Shooting of the film resumed on 12 July 2021, following the relaxations of COVID-19 lockdown.[61] The team filmed few scenes in Chennai instead of Karaikudi.[62] During the shooting schedule, Victor, who worked as an assistant to Pandiraj, was detained by the police in Koyambedu and seized the rifles and pistols used in the film, which were later found out to be dummies.[63] He was detained as he did not have proper documents for licensing.[64] In mid-July 2021, the team headed to Karaikkudi for shooting a 51-day long schedule with crucial sequences, and that was completed within September 2021.[65] The team then headed to Courtallam for the final and brief schedule of the film in mid-September 2021.[66]

At the end of the month, it was reported that two of the songs will be shot in Chennai and Goa, by October 2021, and upon completion of that, the team may wrap up filming.[67][68] However, one song which was directed by Jani Master was delayed, as the track had to be shot in a grand manner, with a huge star cast and also included extensive dance steps. As a result, the cast needed more time to prepare.[69][70] With the completion of patchwork scenes, the makers wrapped the shooting of the film on 10 November 2021, and Pandiraj shared the news through Twitter.[71] Post wrap-up, Suriya had gifted gold coins worth ₹1 crore (US$130,000) to the actors and technicians who worked in the film to make it a memorable experience for the team.[72][73]

Post-production[]

Suriya started dubbing for the film on 17 November and also lent his voice for the Telugu version of the film, after previously doing the same for Gang, the Telugu version of Thaanaa Serndha Koottam.[74][75] Vinay Rai completed dubbing for his role on 24 December 2021.[76]

The music of the film is composed by D. Imman in his second collaboration with Pandiraj,[77][45] following Kadaikutty Singam (2018) and Namma Veettu Pillai (2019).[a] Imman was initially roped in for the untitled film with Suriya, which was directed by Siva,[78] and also for Aruvaa, which was directed by Hari.[79][80] As the projects did not materialise, this film marked the first collaboration with the actor.[45] Yugabharathi and Vignesh Shivan were initially hired for writing the song lyrics. In November 2021, actor Sivakarthikeyan was also announced to pen lyrics for one of the songs in the film.[81][82][b]

The composer had worked with an ensemble musical team of 100 musicians to work on the film's soundtrack and background music.[83] In early-December, reports surfaced that G. V. Prakash Kumar will record the introductory track for the film,[84] and Anirudh Ravichander was also roped in to croon for one of the tracks in the album, which consisting of a different genre.[85] Later, the team had officially announced that both the composers had recorded the vocals for the track titled "Vaada Thambi" which was written by Vignesh Shivan.[86] Carnatic musician Brinda Manickavasakan made her debut as a playback singer in feature film, with the track "Ullam Urugudhaiya".[87][88]

Release[]

Theatrical[]

The film was initially scheduled for theatrical release on 24 December 2021, coinciding with the Christmas weekend.[89][90] However, in mid-October, reports surfaced that the film will be released a week prior to the originally slated date (17 December),[91] which would clash with Allu Arjun starrer Pushpa: The Rise and Marvel Studios' Spider-Man: No Way Home.[92][93] As Sun Pictures' other production, the Vijay-starrer Beast (2022), which was originally scheduled to release on Pongal (14 January 2022), was postponed to April 2022 citing production delays, the makers planned for a release on that festival, since the difficulties in post-production meant that the film would not be released within Christmas.[94] However, on 19 November 2021, it was announced that the film would be theatrically released on 4 February 2022.[95][96] Etharkkum Thunindhavan was postponed again due to increase in COVID-19 cases and is now scheduled for release on 10 March 2022.[1] In addition, the film will be dubbed and released in Telugu, Kannada, Hindi and Malayalam languages.[97]

Marketing[]

On 22 July 2021, the makers unveiled the first look of the film, on the eve of Suriya’s birthday. The teaser of the film was released on 18 February 2022. Both the first look as well as the teaser received a positive feedback from the audience.[98][99] The teaser also has garnered over four million views within a day of the teaser having been released on YouTube.[100]

Distribution[]

The distribution rights of the film in Tamil Nadu were acquired by Udhayanidhi Stalin under the banner of Red Giant Movies, who are also distributing Ajith Kumar's upcoming film Valimai.[101] The Telugu rights of the film have been acquired by Asian Multiplexes Pvt Ltd.[102]
