The moderate result of Kalvanin Kadhali has raised the alarm for SJ Surya. He is very concerned about how to regain box office success. Hence, he is scouting for good scripts. He has asked his assistants to come up with suitable stories. Meanwhile, he has also sent feelers to other directors that he was willing to work under them never mind the rates. For example, director Muthuvadugu has approached him with Pandigai, which Suryah has agreed to do. But, Vadugu is presently busy finalizing the script for Vijay starrer Murasu and he would start work on Pandigai only after he completes Murasu. Impatient about the long wait, Suryah has decided to direct a film himself with the theme as surprise, surprise, music. The film is also titled Isai.
