Boopathy Pandian is a

Tamil film director.[1]

Career

Bhoopathy Pandian worked as an assistant to Sundar C. Apart from assisting him, he also wrote dialogues for his films Winner and Giri.[citation needed]

Dhanush signed the film, then titled Ennai Mattum Kadhal Pannu, soon after the success of

Sridevi Vijayakumar replaced Sherin as heroine in the film.[2]

The film was announced in late August 2005 with Boopathy Pandian and

Tamannaah or Ileana
may be approached to replace her, while the film's inactivity led to rumours that the film was cancelled.

However, in January 2006, Boopathy Pandian confirmed that the film would continue and the remaining portions would be swiftly completed.[8] Shriya however returned to work on the film after she was able to allot dates.[9]

The film opened in December 2006 to positive reviews from critics. Rediff.com noted that "Director Boopathy Pandian has a tight hold on pacing, ensuring that the interest never flags".[10] Another critic from Indiaglitz mentioned that "Bhoopathy Pandian has a good grasp of what makes an entertainer click with the masses. His simple handling of an easy subject sees it through."[11] The film grossed ₹100 million (US$1.3 million) in Tamil Nadu – the highest grosser for actor Dhanush at that time.[12]

In early 2008, Boopathy Pandian first announced a project titled Naanum En Sandhyavum (Me and my Sandhya), with which he was planning to introduce his younger sibling Arjun Prabhu as an actor.

Vedhika were considered.[14][15] Yuvan Shankar Raja was announced as the music director for film.[16] Following the announcement, however, there were no more news or any further details disclosed in the media and the film got shelved.[citation needed
]

In early 2010 then, reports claimed that the director had completed a film titled Naan Avalai Sandhitha Pozhudhu (When I met her), starring newcomers and featuring Yuvan Shankar Raja's music.

K. Balachander for his long-delayed production venture Krishnaleelai, was roped in to enact the role of Sandhya.[18][19] The title of the film was later changed again to Kaadhal Solla Vandhen as disclosed by Balaji on his Facebook site. The film's shooting was primarily carried on in and around Perambalur, with major portions being filmed at the Dhanalakshmi Srinivasan Engineering College.[citation needed
]

Following a successful collaboration with the 2007 film

Jagan Mohan IPS[24] subsequently agreed again to make the film with Vishal and Michael Rayappan agreed to produce the film under Global Infotainment Ltd.[25]

Reports suggested that

Trichy as a part of the initial schedule with Seetha, Jagan and Manobala added to the cast.[30] A first look poster was released on 14 April 2013 depicting Vishal and Santhanam in their respective roles.[citation needed
