Velayudham is Jayam Raja's second venture without his brother Ravi (He earlier directed an Arjun starrer...)

This is Genelia's second time with Vijay, who was earlier cast opposite him in Sachin.

Although he has distributed Vijay's movies (Kadhalukku Mariyadhai, Priyamanavale and Pokkiri), this will be Aascar Ravichandran's first film as a producer with Vijay.

Hansika's two films in Tamil are in the pipeline (Maapillai with Dhanush and Ich with Jayam Ravi); but Velayudham might get the honor of her first film if it gets released sooner than the others.

Saranya Mohan will work with Vijay for the second time after her stint with him in Kadhalukku Mariyadhai as a child artist
