Produced by Venu Ravichandran, the score was composed by Harris Jayaraj, making Vaaranam Aayiram his final project with Gautham Menon before the formal break-up of their partnership, until they worked together again in Yennai Arindhaal (2015).

Suriya plays dual lead roles as father and son, with Simran, Divya Spandana and Sameera Reddy.
Thousand Elephants) is a 2008 Indian Tamil-language musicalromanticdrama film written and directed by Gautham Vasudev Menon.
His dedication and acting abilities seem to be a serious contender for Kamal's ingenious work seen recently in Dasavathaaram. Not stopping there, Surya has also taken extreme measures to build six packs and look like an Army Major that would even make some of the real military personnel feel ashamed. Not many actors can transform themselves completely to look like a teenager in such an incredibly realistic manner. He is extremely honorable as a father (except for some makeup goof-ups) and a truly pitiable young man having lost the love of his life. He is growing by leaps and bounds in every movie and stands now as one of the real acting talents of the current generation in line with Vikram. Nobody would believe if he is the same actor after watching him in "Nerukku Ner" in 1998. The actor, who eclipses everybody else with ease including the director, is Surya. The art director shows his brilliance when he brings to life the streets of 70's and 90's and the beauty of San Francisco bridge. Divya comes across as a very sensible lady expressing her thoughts with subtle emotions. Sameera Reddy shows a lot of signs of good acting skills in addition to the oomph factor. Simran is perfect as a charming girl from the 70's and very gracious and respectable mother of the 90's. Harris Jeyaraj's music is of utmost quality, especially in the "Adiye Kolluthey" and "Nenjukkul Peidhidum" songs and that is evident from the fact that "Adiye Kolluthey" song was the first Tamil song to be played on V Channel. Gautam's conception of the Train scenes between Surya and Sameera Reddy is extremely refreshing. The direction is outstanding in some places and mostly good at other times. The screenplay revolves around the most famous middle class in the world conversing in fluent English and it has all the elements that are most common within this group studying MS in USA for instance. "Vaaranam Aayiram" is a true and an honest attempt at making a realistic and meaningful Tamil film.
