Rendavathu Padam (Tamil: ரெண்டாவது படம்; English: Second Film) is an upcoming Tamil film written and directed by C. S. Amudhan. The film stars Vimal, Aravind Akash, Richard,[1] along with Vijayalakshmi. The film is currently in its filming stage and scheduled for a mid-2012 release.[2]
Sources in late October 2011 disclosed that Amudhan was working on his second film, which too was supposed to be a spoof. According to reports, the film was titled as Thalavali and was to feature look-alikes of lead Tamil actors Ajith Kumar and Vijay in the lead roles.[3][4] The claims were denied by Amudhan, who officially announced his second film as Rendavathu Padam ten days later, clarifying that the would not be a spoof.[5] Photo shoots began by the end of November 2011.[6]
Prior to the announcement, Amudhan had already selected Vimal, Aravind Akash and Richard for the lead roles; the lead actresses had not been finalized then.[7] In December 2011, Vijayalakshmi was chosen for the lead female role.[8] The crew revealed that the film would be shot at Chennai, Hyderabad, Pondicherry, Malaysia, Bangkok.[9]
