Suriya announced officially on 28 March 2022 that his next film, tentatively titled Suriya 41, would be directed by Bala and produced by himself and Jyothika under 2D Entertainment.[1] On Bala's birthday, Suriya released the first look poster and the title Vanangaan in Tamil and Achaludu in Telugu.[3] This would have been the third collaboration of Suriya and Bala after Nandha and Pithamagan.[4] Suriya was reportedly playing dual roles, one of them deaf and mute.[5] Krithi Shetty was signed on to play the female lead.[6]
Filming was initially planned to be completed entirely in three months; however, work on the film stopped in June due to a reported tiff between the lead actor and director. Following this, Vanangaan was rumored to have been dropped, which Suriya debunked with a social media post in which he stated that he was "waiting to be back on sets".[7] However, on 4 December 2022, Bala announced that Suriya and 2D Entertainment were no longer part of the project due to changes in the film's story.[8] By March 2023, Arun Vijay was confirmed as Suriya's replacement,[9] and Roshni Prakash replaced Shetty.[10]
