We had earlier reported about Silambarasan’s new flick Vinnaithaandi Varuvaaya, the stills of which you might have seen in newspapers and the web. You might also have noticed the absence of any cast and crew details in the first look. Remember, we had told you that Silambarasan had indeed bagged an exciting project, which will see the best in Kollywood come together. This will definitely be Silambarasan’s most high profile movie yet.

Let’s break the suspense, Vinnaithaandi Varuvaaya will be directed by none other than Gautham Menon. The surprises do not stop here, the heroine will be Trisha (with Silambarasan after nearly five years. The last time was in Alai) and in all probability the music will be by A.R. Rahman, something that is yet to be confirmed. If that happens, it will be the first of Silambarasan’s career and also a first for Gautham who has worked only with Harris Jeyaraj thus far.

Vinnaithaandi Varuvaaya is a huge surprise on all fronts. No one even had a scent of what was happening. The banner, which is producing the movie ‘Escape Artists Motion Picutres’, has been floated by Gautham himself, no one had the slightest inkling on that too. After Vaaranum Aayiram, the media has been running from pillar to post trying to know what Gautham is up to next. There was news of a movie with Ajith under the AVM banner, some said that he might take up Chennaiyil Oru Mazhaikkalam and there had even been news that he was looking to start a Telugu project with Mahesh Babu in the lead. All this while, Gautham held his cards close to his chest. We also need to give credit to Silambarasan who has managed to stay away from media eyes. We were speculating Kettavan’s revival, but Silambarasan is not too keen on being the bad man any time soon. And, wasn’t Trisha supposed to start work on a big budget Telugu project after completing Sarvam? We must admit that Gautham and Co., pulled off a stunner.

According to initial reports and stills, Vinnaithaandi Varuvaaya will be a sweet and simple love story, a throwback to Gautham’s initial days in films with Minnale. There has been no official launch of the movie but on the very day the promos were flashed, the first shot was taken at AVM studios, one that shows Silambarasan walking in through a gate. No other details of the cast and crew have been divulged yet. We will inform you about this ‘instant’ movie’s progress as and when Gautham chooses to reveal anything.
