[edit]Production
After his Irandam Ulagam starring Dhanush and Andrea Jeremiah ran into trouble after the latter had pulled out of the film, citing differences with the director, Selvaraghavan began a new film featuring Dhanush and Richa Gangopadhyay, who had initially been signed to do another film with the director.[4] Richa began shooting for the film in Kannur in May 2011 and the film was wrapped up within three months.[5] The title was finally changed to Mayakkam Enna in August 2011, with reports suggesting that Dhanush would sport four different looks in the film.[6][7] Selvaraghavan has since made it clear that the film has a totally different script from the film that had been shelved.[8] It is said that Dhanush will be seen in various stages, as a boy just out of his teenage to an old man.[9] Prakash Kumar replaced Yuvan Shankar Raja as music composer in the film, with the latter reporting it was due to "money and time issues".[10][11] However, in a sensational turn, Prakash Kumar was assigned again as composer after Yuvan Shankar Raja moved out of the project as he was busy with other commitments and could not give priority to Selvaraghavan, who was in rush to complete the film and move over to his next project, Vishwaroopam.[12] Television actress Deepa Venkat dubbed the voice of the female lead.
