Development

[edit]

In early October 2023, S. U. Arun Kumar, who gained recent popularity from the success of Chithha (2023), was reported to feature Vikram in the lead role for his next directorial.[4] HR Pictures, the production company headed by producer Shibu Thameens' daugher Riya Shibu, officially announced the project on 28 October 2023 under the tentative title Chiyaan 62, referring to the lead actor's 62nd film.[5][6] An accompanying announcement video was also released on the same date, further indicating that the film would be an action drama film set in a village backdrop.[7][8]

Pre-production began during early December 2023, where Vikram and Arun travelled to Goa for script discussion.[9] G. V. Prakash Kumar was assigned as the film's music director,[6] while Theni Eswar was selected to handle the cinematography.[10][11] Prasanna GK and C. S. Balachander, the latter of whom has been associated with Arun Kumar's films, has been recruited as the film's editor and cinematographer, respectively.[12] The film's title Veera Dheera Sooran: Part 2 was announced on 17 April 2024, coinciding Vikram's birthday.[13][14] It was intentionally given that subtitle, reportedly because the makers were planning a prequel with the subtitle Part 1.[15][16] A separate film titled Veera Dheera Sooran began production some years before but was dropped, making the title usable for this film.[16][17][18]

Casting

[edit]

"...each role is important. All characters are a little bit grey, all of them have a justification. Nobody is a villain or hero. We are all selfish in some way. There are a lot of layers to the characters"

— Vikram, on the characters of Veera Dheera Sooran[19]

In February 2024, the producers announced that S. J. Suryah would play an important role.[20][21] The following March, Malayalam actor Suraj Venjaramoodu was cast in a supporting role, marking his Tamil debut.[22][23] Suraj insisted on acting the film even before Arun wanted to narrate his story, as he liked Arun's work in Pannaiyarum Padminiyum (2014) and Chithha (2023).[24] Having a fan of Suraj's work, Arun added "On the first day, there were so many dialogues for him. But he was able to deliver them easily. The reason for that was he ensured that he got his dialogues in advance, got a translator to translate it for him and then memorised them completely. If you watch the film, there won't be lip synching anywhere in the film. More significantly, he does not know Tamil."[24]

Dushara Vijayan was paired opposite Vikram as the female lead.[25][26] Arun stated that he wanted someone to have a fresh pairing opposite Vikram, which resulted in Dushara's casting.[27] However, it received criticism due to the 31-year age gap between both the lead actors.[28] Siddique joined the cast in late-April 2024 and would appear in a pivotal role.[29] Prudhvi Raj, Pavel Navageethan, Ramesh Indhira, Anitha Sampath, Baalaji S. U., Sreeja Ravi and Parvathi T. appear in other supporting roles.[30]

Filming

[edit]

DT Next reported that principal photography would begin with the first schedule in March 2024 in Tiruttani.[9] However, filming began on 24 April 2024.[31][32] Shibu Thameens added that the production would continue with consecutive schedules being held in full-stretch.[33][34] The first schedule was held predominantly at Madurai and Tenkasi, and was concluded on 17 May.[35][36] As per Arun Kumar, nearly 30 percent of the film's shooting has been completed within the first schedule itself.[37][38]

The team initially planned to commence the second schedule from 20 June at Karaikudi.[39] However, the schedule instead commenced at Madurai on 25 June.[40] In early-August, the team shot and completed the pre-climax portions, which resulted in the second schedule being wrapped.[41][42][43] In late August, after Vikram completed his participation in the promotional activities for Thangalaan (2024), the team began filming for the month-long concurrent schedule at Madurai.[44] During this schedule, an 18-minute-long sequence featuring Vikram, Suryah and Suraj were canned in a single take.[45][46] Filming wrapped by mid-November 2024.[47]
