The film was based on a novel by Sujatha , which in turn was inspired from a real-life incident . After having read the story before 10 years the film got released , Sreeram had a thought of directing it and " reserved " his rights for filming it in future . The film was initially launched with newcomers Gautham and Pooja , a former Miss Chennai announced as the lead pair . However , Sreeram replaced the pair with another pair of debutants Karthik Kumar and Poongothai Chandrahasan . '' Vaanam Vasappadum '' was Sreeram 's third film as director and was the first motion picture in India to use high-definition digital technology . The film was showcased at the Mumbai International Film Festival and the ninth International Film Festival of Kerala in India . The film 's soundtrack and background score were composed by Mahesh Mahadevan , who earlier worked with Sreeram in '' Kuruthipunal '' and it was his posthumous project before his death .
