About Asal

Development
Following the commence of production for Ajith Kumar’s Aegan in late December 2007, reports indicated that Ajith Kumar will act in a film produced by Sivaji Productions directed by Gautham Menon. Three months later, it was confirmed that the project would go ahead as planned as soon as both, the director and the actor finished their respective projects.
The film, which was due to start its first schedule during June 2008, had been built up as the final instalment in Gautham Menon’s police trilogy, following his two earlier ventures, Kaaka Kaaka and Vettaiyaadu Vilaiyaadu; which Ajith Kumar was originally meant to be a part of. However other indications suggested that the film is the remake of the classic, Pudhiya Paravai starring Sivaji Ganesan, which Ganesan’s son, Prabhu, who is the producer for the project denied. The film earlier rumoured to be titled, Kanavugal Karpanaigal or Vaanam Kadandha Siragugal, was finalized with the title of Surangani, which was later abbreviated to Sura.[1] In January 2009, the film was reannounced by Prabhu. The story was subsequently changed and Saran was signed up as the film's director.[2] Ajith Kumar also apparently underwent an appearance change the same month, citing that it was to be used for his character in the film.
