Very Colorful trailer but koncham avatar shadow iruku :)
Here is a man who wants to take tamil cinema to next level yet lacking severely in originality. There is a saying about people living in glass houses Selva...
Looks interesting. Hope he doesn't go into AO range of "self-obsession".
Oru velai Avatar concept irukumo?
If you ask me :
@1:37 you can see Arya taking a sip from the Egyptian pot and then throwing everyone off him => Magic potions, auras and mythical creatures will take over this 'magical' 2nd World where Arya and Anuska separated by caste (Varna) fight for love and in the parallel world the same magic potions, auras and creatures get transformed to medicines, medical research and patients, where one such revelations done in 2nd world serves as a solution to our world, but still they got to fight it out once again in the name love ... caste <=> disease ... something like that. 2nd world should be a land by the sea and quite colorful (again Varna means that). Too early to say anything. I trust SR's imagination and I am eagerly waiting to watch the movie.

In late 2006 after #Pudhupettai, #Selvaraghavan was working on a script for #Karthi, whose first film #ParuthiVeeran was yet to release at the time. It was #IrandaamUlagam, and the film was said to be produced by ‘White Elephant Productions’ Selvaraghavan's new production house in collaboration with his close friends cinematographer Arvind Krishna and music composer Yuvan Shankar Raja. But the film was shelved due to budget constraints and Selvaraghavan started a film with Karthi and ‘Kadhal’ Sandhya which was named as ‘Idhu Maalai Nerathu Mayakkam’. Later this film was also dropped and the team moved on to make another movie, which was ‘Aayirathil Oruvan’. During the period, the production house ‘White Elephant’ also collapsed, after Selvaraghavan fell out with both his partners Arvindh Krishna and Yuvan.
The film was again started in late 2009 during the post-production of ‘Aayirathil Oruvan’ with a new cast of #Dhanush and #Andrea Jeremiah in the leading roles; the film was produced by Vimala Geetha, Selvaraghavan and Dhanush's sister. After shooting for a while, the film was shelved again in June 2009 due to Selvaraghavan's other commitments. In October 2010, the film was launched again for the third time in intentions of completing the film within fifty days for a February 2011 release; six songs were composed for the film in G.V.Prakash’s music. However the film was yet again abandoned due to unknown reasons and Selvaraghavan began another film with Vikram and ‘Subramaniyapuram’ Swati Reddy, which also failed to progress after its first schedule; Vikram was looking forward to do a film with commercial stuffs and moved on to do ‘Rajapattai’ with the same producer Mr.Pearl V. Potluri.
‘Irandaam Ulagam’ began shoots for the fourth time on March 2011 with the same cast, but a changed title of ‘Maravan’. Filming was held at Jeppiaar Engineering College in Chennai as the film began to progress quickly. The title later was changed to ‘Irandam Ulagam’ again. Selvaraghavan revealed that "70 per cent" of the film was over and later that month, the rights of the film were purchased by UTV Motion Pictures. But the film ran into a trouble yet again when the lead actress Andrea Jeremiah moved out of the film, due to her disputes with the director. With situations turning totally against him and holding a tight pressure from the production and distribution house, Selva could not do anything possibly. The film was dropped and he started a film immediately with Dhanush and Richa Gangopadhyay named ‘Mayakkam Enna’ which was inspired from the 2011 Rusell Crowe starrer ‘A Beautiful Mind’; despite the inspiration, the film had lots of beautiful moments. Though the movie did average business at the box-office, it received highly positive reviews and got lot of praises for Dhanush’s excellent performance. Between all these, Selvaraghavan was also asked to direct Kamalhassan’s “Vishwaroopam”, which he opted out after a few weeks of filming due to disagreements with Kamalhassan. Later, Selvaraghavan was in discussions to do ‘Irandaam Ulagam’ in Telugu with Allu Arjun and Shruti Haasan in the lead roles, which was dropped in the initial levels itself. During all these days, Selva was busy in sharpening the script making a lot of betterments.
At last, it was officially announced that Arya and Anushka Shetty were roped in to play the lead roles in the film. Meanwhile, Harris Jayaraj was confirmed to be a part of the project as the music director, again replacing G.V.Prakash Kumar. The film shooting took off on 24 December 2011, in Ramoji Film City, Hyderabad. The next schedule was filmed in the BITS-Pilani (Goa Campus) following the shoot of major portions in Georgia and in Rio de Janeiro and the forests of Brazil. It was reported that Arya and Anushka will play double roles. And, the total film shoot was completed by November 2012 and the film is under post production for the past 10 months, with more attention given to the CG parts.
Today (4th August, 2013), the film’s trailer and songs have been launched grandly with Surya and Director Maniratnam as Chief Guests. Both the guests praised high of the film’s songs and trailer and the Legendry director Maniratnam patted Selva’s work as ‘Path-breaking’. The trailer has also received great responses from the audience also in social networks, with the trailer going viral. The trailer begins with a question ‘How far will you travel for Love?’ and it tells us that it would be a story happening in two different worlds. The trailer had stunning visuals and beautiful locations, with the VFX being the best in our cinema till date (for our budget and reach). With such a trailer that boasts of technical awesomeness, if the film has a great script also, ‘Irandaam Ulagam’ is sure going to be one of the most important films of Tamil and Indian Cinema.
The film’s release date is not yet officially confirmed, which might fall on September end or October. Let us all wish a very fruitful outcome and a big commercial success for #IrandaamUlagam, for all the 7 years hard-work and efforts of #Selvaraghavan!

The film looks very similar to 'The Fountain', a film that had a lot of religious and philosophical subtexts surrounding it and a film that was fun to explore. I for one hope the same from Irandam Ulagam. Seriously I still cant get to understand people's thinking about a movie's originality. No movie is completely original. It is is like asking if one's opinion or thought is original.
