Gouravam is a bilingual Indian film written and directed by Radha Mohan, simultaneouly shot into Tamil and Telugu. The film, being produced by Prakash Raj under the banner of Duet Movies, marks the acting debut of Allu Sirish, brother of Telugu cinema actor Allu Arjun, and also stars Yami Gautam in the lead
The film was first reported in August 2011, when it was announced that Naga Chaitanya would come together with director Radha Mohan to make his debut in Tamil cinema by starring in a bilingual venture.The film was titled Gouravam and touted to be a "family-entertainer" with Thaman signed on as music composer and Preetha as cinematographer. In early 2012, Varalaxmi Sarathkumar was selected to play the lead female role, even before the release of her debut venture Podaa Podi, mentioning that the bilingual would be an "important film in her career".A photoshoot was subsequently held, while Chaitanya's father Nagarjuna agreed to finance the film under their home production house, Annapoorna Studios.
However in a turn of events, Naga Chaitanya opted out of the project and the lead role was handed to Allu Sirish, the third son of producer Allu Aravind, who would make his debut as an actor. Varalaxmi also subsequently opted out and was reported to be replaced by Tamannaah, but this proved untrue. Furthermore Amala Paul was approached for the role, while Nithya Menen, Priya Anand, Aindrita Ray and Nidhi Subbaiah were all also considered. Finally, Yami Gautam, known for her role in Bollywood film Vicky Donor, was chosen as the heroine of the film, opposite Sirish.Prakash Raj, who had produced most of Radha Mohan's films with the exception of Ponniyin Selvan, had it announced that the film would be produced under the banner of Duet Movies.
