Vaanam is written and directed by Krish. A remake of his own 2010 Telugu film Vedam( Starring : Allu Arjun, Manchu Manoj, Anushka, Deeksha and Lekha Washington).

After Tamil producer R. B. Choudary had bought the rights of Vedam for a "hefty amount" to remake it in Tamil, his younger son Jeeva was initially supposed to play the lead role, enacted by Allu Arjun in the original film, while either Namitha or Anushka Shetty were reported to essay the lead female role. However, Silambarasan eventually bagged the lead role, who had seen the original version and was immediately impressed by the "Cable Raju" character of Allu Arjun.By accepting this film, Silambarasan was said to have lost his project with N. Linguswamy and Durai Dayanidhi Azhagiri, who were unhappy about Silambarasan starting to shoot for this film without informing them and further delaying their film.



Meanwhile, Anushka was said to have denied the offer, following which Taapsee Pannu, who was the female lead in Vetrimaran's Aadukalam, was considered for the prostitute character.During the launch of the film then, sources claimed that Anushka, following her refusal, had been roped in by the producers for an item number only, which was specially included for the Tamil version and didn't feature in the original, for which she was supposedly paid an "exorbitant price".However, eventually it turned out that indeed Anushka was signed for the lead female role and would reprise her role from the original. Mohan Babu's son Manoj Manchu was supposed to essay the rockstar role, also reprising his original character, but was not able to and forced to opt out, following an accident during the shoot of his Telugu film Jhummandi Naadam, where he had injured himself badly and had to undergo an operation. He was replaced by Bharath, who was approached by Silambarasan himself for the role and immediately agreed as he "loved Vedam".



Replacing Deeksha Seth, Sneha Ullal was roped in to play Silambarasan's love interest, who would make her Tamil debut with this film. A debutante Jasmine from Delhi was also signed for the film, while producer Ganesh Janardhanan would appear in a cameo role, too. In September 2010, Sonia Agarwal was also signed up for a pivotal role, returning to acting after four years, replacing Siya Gautham as Zara, the wife of Prakash Raj's character, which she was initially supposed to play in the original version itself, but eventually missed due to personal problems. Compared to the original, however, she will have more scenes and one "extra song".Prakash Raj himself, also beginning his schedule in mid-September, would play a Muslim, enacting Manoj Bajpai's role from the original.
