BOOLOGAM TRAILER
Jayam Ravi agreed terms to star in the film in August 2010, shortly after he had begun work for Engeyum Kadhal (2011) and Aadhi Baghavan (2013). During the making of the Peranmai (2009), an assistant director to S. P. Jananathan, Kalyanakrishnan, had narrated the story of the film and Jayam Ravi agreed to give priority dates for the film. However delays in production of the former two films resulted in the postponement of the shoot of Bhooloham, as his character in Aadhi Bhagavan required him to sport a beard, stopping him from working on the films simultaneously. In July 2011, it was reported that Jayam Ravi underwent a special training course in boxing for his role as a boxer with professional athlete, Prasad, overlooking his progress. Amala Paul was approached by the producers in March 2012 to play the leading female role, but could not allot dates for the film. Subsequently the team approached Nayantara to play the lead role but her unavailability saw the team agree terms with Trisha Krishnan to play a role in the film. The movie is inspired from the life of a real life Asian boxing champion named Madhan. The makers roped in the Australian actor of Troy fame, Nathan Jones, for a fight sequence. The film primarily shot in late 2012 and early 2013 and the makers worked towards a release date during the summer of 2013, but the film experienced further delays. Producer Aascar Ravichandran was unhappy about the film having more than half an hour dedicated to boxing scenes and put the film on hold, in order to edit the film's content. In early 2015, the Indian Overseas bank's Sriram Nagar branch filed a petition in The Debt Recovery Tribunal (DRT), Chennai and requested to an interim stay on the film after Aascar Ravichandran failed to repay the loan amount he bought for the production expense of Bhooloham
