Vellaiya Irukiravan Poi Solla Maatan (lit. A white man never lies) is a 2015 Tamil language comedy film written and directed by newcomer A. L. Abanindran.

Cast

Production

The project was announced by Devanshu Arya of Ignite Films and director Abanindran in late 2014, and marked the director's feature film debut after he and Devanshu Arya had previously assisted during the making of Rajiv Menon's Minsara Kanavu (1997) and Kandukondain Kandukondain (2000). The film features newcomer Praveen Kumar, who played a supporting role in Kalyana Samayal Saadham (2013) in the lead role alongside Shalini Vadnikatti, a model from Hyderabad. Abanindran had worked with Praveen Kumar and the producers, Ignite Films, before, when the trio worked on the television serial, Dharmayutham for Vijay TV during 2012.[1] Cinematographer Ravi Varman also worked as a co-producer for the film, marking his maiden production. The ensemble cast was also revealed to feature Sanam Shetty, Karthik Kumar, Naren, Jayaprakash and Bala Saravanan, while Anthony was announced as the film's editor.[2] The film was named after a dialogue spoken by Vadivelu in the film Aarya (2007).[3]

The team shot the film around Chennai in forty days.[4] After the film was completed, S. Thanu of Kalaipuli International bought the film's worldwide distribution rights.

Release

The film released to mixed reviews in December 2015, having been delayed for three weeks as a result of the 2015 South Indian floods. A critic from The New Indian Express noted that "it was an impressive debut".[5]
