The film which was originally titled as Acham Thavir was later changed to Vallinam, directed by Eeram fame Arivazhagan Venkatachalam with Nakul and Mridula in the lead.The film is said to revolve around sports. First the makers of the film ran into crowd trouble with students attempting to get autographs from Nakul when he was preparing for the shoot, they were subsequently prevented in doing so from the crew of the film prompting a student protest.
Also it’s heard that the team worked for 72 hours without break for a particular scene which was shot near the Chengalpet railway station.
Now they say that shooting is going in high speed without any problems. Vallinam is produced by Aascar Ravichandran. It has music by Thaman S and cinematography handled by Vijay Ulaganathan
