The film, featuring film score and soundtrack composed by Karthik, was simultaneously shot in Telugu as Courier Boy Kalyan. However, The Telugu version was released in September 2015, after financial issues for the film were solved earlier than for the Tamil version.

Production began in 2012, but delays meant that the film only had a theatrical release during 2016. The film was released on 5 August 2016 to a mixed record tendered by critics.

Plot

Tamilselvan (Jai) is a college dropout and does all small jobs but nothing gives him the high. Soon, Tamil moves to Chennai and stays at his uncle AC Shakthivel’s (VTV Ganesh) house to land in a satisfying profession. His friend Nasa (Santhanam), a courier boy asks him to deliver a packet at a Khadi shop, where he meets Kavya (Yami Gautam) and fall head over heels in love with her.

Meanwhile, Arun (Ashutosh Rana) a high-profile doctor forms a team to take stem cell from pregnant women as they ask them to take a medicine, which induce abortion. A ward boy Manikandan (Thambi Ramaiah) gets to know about Arun’s plan and couriers all the details to a social activist Sathyamoorthy (Nassar) in Chennai. When Arun finds out that the package is in transit, he orders his team to snatch it from the courier boy, who is of course our protagonist. The rest of the film is all about how Tamil saves himself and the public from the deadly doctors.

Cast

Production

Following the success of Engaeyum Eppothum (2011), Gautham Menon entered negotiations and signed on Jai to act in a film he was producing, which would mark the directorial debut of Prem Sai, an erstwhile assistant to Prabhu Deva. In January 2012, Abhinaya was signed on to play the leading female role of a garments sales girl, while Santhanam and VTV Ganesh were also thereafter selected to portray supporting roles.[3][4] In May 2012, Gautham Menon announced that the film would be simultaneously made in Telugu as Courier Boy Kalyan with Nithiin in the lead role. He also revealed that Karthik would compose the film's music, Om Prakash would handle the cinematography and Rajeevan would be the project's art director. During the same month, Richa Gangopadhyay replaced Abhinaya as the lead actress in both versions of the film.[5] Prior to beginning of the project, Menon revealed that if the film became a success, potential sequels under the titles of Tamilselvanum Varuvaithuraiyum and Tamilselvanum Podhupanithuraiyum were planned.[6][7] The film began production in June 2012, but Richa Gangopadhyay soon left the film after deciding to quit her career as an actress.[8] After further discussions with actresses including Pooja Hegde, Yami Gautam was signed on to appear in both versions of the project during November 2012.[9]

The film languished in development hell, owing to a lack of production funds from Gautham Menon and took several years to complete filming. Schedules were also delayed as result of shooting the film twice in Tamil and then Telugu, with the timetabling of dates of artistes and technicians becoming a problem.[10] In August 2015, Menon revealed that the film was ready for release and began promotions for the project, before only releasing Courier Boy Kalyan in the Telugu language. In July 2016, promotions restarted signalling that the film would release soon after.[11]
