Vadacurry is an upcoming film which stars the Subramaniapuram pair Jai & Swathi, The movie is produced by Dhayanidhi Alagiri who sent a official press release on why Yuvan Shankar Raja was replaced by newcomers Vivek and Mervin.

"I would like to inform you that due to Yuvan Shankar Raja's hectic schedule towards the end of last year, we were unable to work along with him for Vadacurry, although he has delivered us an absolute mesmerising melody for the same. We are using that track for the said film. Both of us agreed mutually and felt it was best if we work with another music director for the quick completion of the movie ".
