Ennodu Vilayadu

The film opens, creating some expectations as we meet Vikram (Bharath), who works for a construction company and is in heavy debts as he is a horse punter who loses because of fixing by the big guns. He meets Minnie (Chandini Tamilarasan), and it is love at first sight. On the other hand, Sridhar (Kathir) lands in Chennai and goes to stay at a house recommended by a friend where, to his surprise, he finds that it’s a girl Inba (Sanchita Shetty). Forty five lakhs to retrieve her house from a bank loan. Vikram plans a getaway with fifty lakhs of bribe money that horse owner Nagulan (Radha Ravi) pays to another owner Sharma (Yog Japee), to fix a race. The money lands in Sridhar's car, and this leads to a collision of all the characters, and what happens next is the rest of the screenplay.

The project was launched in early 2015, with an ensemble cast of Bharath, Kathir, Chandini Tamilarasan and Sanchita Shetty announced to feature in Arun Krishnaswami's directorial debut Ennodu Vilayadu. Arun revealed that the idea for his first film had arisen during his visits to Guindy Race Course during horse races. He subsequently began to study the details of horse racing, including the practice and culture of the sport, to develop the story.^[2] The film began production in Pondicherry during April 2015, with Sanchita filming scenes with rats during the first schedule.^[3][4] Scenes were thereafter also shot in Chennai and Mysore, with only a few sequences shot featuring both Kathir and Bharath in the same scene. Scenes involving horse racing were predominantly shot in Mysore, owing to the city's popular horse racing scene.^[5] Bharath finished filming for his scenes in the film by September 2015, and revealed that he would portray a "happy-go-lucky" character.^[6] After further scenes were shot in Bangalore, post-production works began during November 2015 and an initial release date of September 2016 was announced by the makers. The film was delayed for over a year as it waited for an apt release date.^[7][8]

The film has two composers, Sudharshan M. Kumar and A. Moses, with the latter making his debut as a music composer in the Tamil film industry. The soundtrack was released on 9 November 2016.^[9]
