Dhanush’s Padikadhavan ran into rough weather when FEFSI issued a ban against the actor in a case of complaint received from Gemini Labs that he did not honor his commitment towards them. Now this issue has been solved amicably between the concerned parties much to the relief of everyone involved. As per this, Dhanush, after completing the first schedule of Padikadhavan, will be working for a project with Gemini Labs and then onwards has agreed to work simultaneously in both the projects. Now that the problem is put to rest, Padikadhavan’s shooting has resumed.Danush's films have always been rich in comedy. What Padikkathanvan offers is Danush plus Vadivelu – a potent combination that hasn't been explored so far. Joining Vadivelu are a team of comedians such as Mayilsamy, and Ganesh. The film's director, Suraj, is known for bringing out the best in Vadivelu. What was special about Thalainagaram and Marudhamalai was Vadivelu's antics. In Padikathanvan, Vadivuelu is called Alert Arumugam.
Director Suraj says both the title for the movie and the story is something he came up with, and Danush gladly accepted both. A. Venkatesh will wield the camera, while Mani Sharma will compose music.
