Earlier, there had been a cold-war brewing between Vijay Sethupathi and producer RK Suresh over date allocation for Vasanthakumaran, which has now been shelved. According to sources, the two have sorted matters out, and Vijay Sethupathi has set aside dates for Dharmadurai.
The trio have previously worked on Idam Porul Yeaval, which hasn’t yet released due to several logistical and technical issues, despite a long delay. Like all Seenu Ramasamy’s films, Dharmadurai is expected to have a social message as its central theme. Seenu Ramasamy has previously directed several realistic films social themed films, including Neerparavai, Koodal Nagar, and Thenmerku Paruvakatru.
