Production
In July 2011, reports confirmed that Vasanth would start directing his next film, titled as Moondru Per Moondru Kaadhal, four years after his last film Satham Podathey was released.[3] Vasanth reportedly had been waiting with the script for three years to "get the right actors".[4] He further noted that the film was not a love story but a "story about love".[5] The film would consist of three love stories featuring the three lead characters, which play out in three landscapes: by the seaside, in the mountains and on the plains.[6] Bharath Kumar, a fan of Vasanth's films, came forward to produce the film along with his friends under his newly launched Mahendra Talkies banner.[7][8]Moondru Per Moondru Kaadhal was started on August 9, 2011.[9]The director had roped in Arjun, who had worked with Vasanth in Rhythm (2000) before, and director-turned-actor Cheran for the lead roles, while stating that four newcomers would be selected for another male lead and the three lead female roles.[10] By November 2011, sources suggested that Shiva might be roped in for the third lead role, but the actor denied being approached by the team,[11] while later the month it was speculated that Vasanth would introduce his son to play the role.[12] In January 2011 eventually, Vasanth confirmed that Vimal had been finalized.[13]Muktha Bhanu, formerly credited as Bhanu, was chosen to portray one of the female leads,[14] while Shruti Mohan, a newcomer from Mumbai, and Punjabi actress Surveen Chawla agreed to play the other two lead roles, making their Tamil film debuts.[15] Shruti was later replaced by another newcomer named Lasini.[16] Furthermore, National Film Award winning actors Thambi Ramaiah and Appukutty were selected for supporting roles, providing comic relief.[17]
Shooting for the film began by late 2011 in Kerala,[18] and was continued in Nagercoil in November and December 2012.[19][20] In July 2012, the crew moved to the hill station of Ooty to film major portions.[21] Another schedule was later held in Hyderabad.[22]

Composing was started even before the film was launched, with the first song being recorded on August 9, 2011.[24] Popular Bollywood singer Sonu Nigam originally sang the melody titled "Mazhai Mazhai Mazhaiyo Mazhai", which was recorded in Mumbai.[25] The final version, however, featured Karthik's vocals. Neha Bhasin, who had sung the well received song "Pesugiren" in Satham Podathey before, lent her voice for another song in the album.[26]Nandini Srikar of Ra.One fame crooned a solo "Aaha Kadhal", which, too, was recorded in Mumbai,[27] while composer Ramesh Vinayagam sang a peppy number titled "Stop the Paatu" for the album.[28] A teaser trailer of "Stop The Paatu" was released online in September 2012 and garnered positive response.[29] The composer himself performed the song "Unakkagave" which was dubbed as the first dubstep track in Tamil cinema.[30] Yuvan Shankar Raja later revealed that he had not composed a single new tune for the film, but that all were stock songs he had earlier recorded which were chosen by Vasanth.[31] The final mixing was done in Berlin, according to Vasanth.[32]
The album was launched in a critically acclaimed event on 1 December 2012 at the Park Sheraton Hotel in Chennai.[33] The entire cast and crew of the film, besides noted film personalities, including directors K. Balachander, K. S. Ravikumar, K. Bhagyaraj, N. Lingusamy, Sasi and actors Shanthanu Bhagyaraj, Kushboo, Krishna, Prakash Raj were present at the function which was host by television anchors Ma Ka Pa Anand and Divyadarshini.[34] The songs from the album were also performed live on stage by the original artists.[35]
The album received very positive critical response. Milliblog wrote: "Vasanth and Yuvan’s combination continues to rock!.[36] Indiaglitz wrote: "A good collection of songs at the end of the year, almost appears as if it has been picked out of good songs".[37] Behindwoods wrote: "Overall, the album might have been described as ‘post-modern’ by the director,[sic] Yuvan Shankar Raja does things his own way, and does it mighty good".[38]
