Vimal, a longtime acquaintance of Sarkunam who had known the film's storyline for approximately six years prior, viewed Kalavani as his opportunity for a lead debut, prioritizing the project's authentic village-centric narrative over immediate stardom. For the female lead of Maheshwari, Sarkunam cast debutante Oviya after conducting auditions, selecting her to embody the fresh, unassuming charm of a village belle, a decision that aligned with the film's emphasis on natural, non-glamorous rural archetypes. This choice of a newcomer underscored Sarkunam's strategy to avoid polished commercial faces, fostering genuine on-screen chemistry verifiable in subsequent actor reflections on the organic audition-to-role pipeline.

Her role underscores tensions arising from cross-village alliances, which force confrontations rooted in local customs of loyalty and exclusion. Supporting figures include and Lakshmi, Arikki's parents, who embody parental authority and economic pressures in agrarian settings, pressuring their son toward responsibility while mediating family decisions within village hierarchies. Antagonistic elements, such as leaders from the opposing village, represent entrenched rivalries over resources like temples, reflecting documented patterns of factional disputes and kinship-based allegiances in rural communities during the early 2010s.

Adaptations

Remakes

K Kirataka (2011), a Kannada-language adaptation directed by Pradeep Raj, stars Yash as the male lead alongside Oviya, who reprised her role from the original film. The remake adheres closely to Kalavani's storyline, centering on a romance between individuals from feuding villages while incorporating the protagonist's petty theft antics and rural realism, with adjustments primarily in dialogue and cultural references to resonate with Kannada-speaking audiences. Released on May 9, 2011, it marked the 3,000th Kannada film produced.

Sequel

The film reunites leads Vimal and Oviya Helen in a centered on village elections, where the , an irresponsible youth, contends with familial rivals amid local power struggles. Retaining the rural backdrop and folkloric humor, it incorporates updated elements like evolving panchayat dynamics reflective of electoral shifts, such as increased caste-based alliances, while shifting focus from the original's theft motif to interpersonal election feuds.

The Times of India rated it 2/5, noting sparse engaging moments in the second half overshadowed by a weak storyline. The Hindu described it as a "tedious and hideous comedy" emblematic of unnecessary sequels in Tamil cinema, critiquing the lack of narrative depth.

This outcome illustrates causal factors in risks, including viewer expectations for originality unmet by derivative storytelling in a saturated rural genre.

Controversies

Litigation Details

In 2019, production of the sequel Kalavani 2 faced multiple legal challenges primarily revolving around funding agreements and distribution rights, leading to interim court stays on its release. Actor Vimal had entered a copyright agreement with Marina Pictures producer Singaravelan on October 13, 2017, to produce the film, under which Vimal received advances but allegedly misrepresented the production entity as being led by director A. Sarkunam. Marina Pictures subsequently assigned Tamil Nadu theatrical rights to Dhanalakshmi Pictures, which claimed non-delivery of the film as promised, prompting Dhanalakshmi to file a lawsuit resulting in a six-week partial ban on release. The Madras High Court partially lifted the ban by early May 2019, ruling that Sarkunam had no objection to the release, though Dhanalakshmi indicated plans to appeal for a full halt until proceedings concluded. The dispute involving Vimal and Singaravelan resolved through settlement, with Vimal agreeing to act in two additional films produced by the party within the year in exchange for the advances received, leading Singaravelan to withdraw the case and clear the path for release. Separately, co-producer J. Jayakumar, who financed approximately 20% of the (Rs 60 lakh under a November 28, 2018, agreement, with total payments of Rs 67.38 lakh acknowledged by ), sought repayment one week prior to the planned July 5, 2019, release, which was not fulfilled. On July 3, 2019, the , under Justice Pushpa Sathyanarayana, issued an interim restraining the release, sale, or transfer of Kalavani 2 until July 10, 2019, in response to Jayakumar's against as sole proprietor of Varmans Productions. These proceedings delayed the sequel's theatrical rollout but did not result in permanent cancellation, with the film ultimately releasing after interim resolutions; court records confirm the funding claim's basis in the unfulfilled financing terms rather than broader intellectual property infringement. No litigation directly contested remake rights for the original 2010 film, though post-success financing frictions highlighted common industry tensions over contractual obligations in sequel production.
