The movie also marked his debut as a screenwriter in the industry. The con film with a social message was liked by critics and audience, and thus Vinoth made an impressive debut in Tamil cinema.  He was keen to make a sequel to the film starring either Suriya or Ajith Kumar. But their reluctance prompted him to move on to next project. However his next film starred suriya’s younger brother in the lead role of a cop.

 

His second film, Theeran Adhigaaram Ondru starred Karthi, Rakul Preet Singh and Abhimanyu Singh, and was based on the infamous Operation Bawaria incident, an organized dacoity, murder and robbery that were prevalent in residential areas near the National Highway during 1995 - 2006. He originally planned to make this film before Sathuranga Vettai, but forgot it. He remembered it once again, after he got a food parcel wrapped with a newspaper written about a column on this investigation. That’s how he started with the script, inspired from true events.
