The film was first announced to the media in January 2017, when it was reported that [[Dulquer Salmaan]] would work on a Tamil film by debutant director R.

[[George C. Williams (cinematographer)|George C. Williams]], [[A. Sreekar Prasad|Sreekar Prasad]] and debutant Dheena Dayalan joined the team as the film's cinematographer, editor and music composer respectively, while the director stated that the team had planned to begin production by December 2017. Considering the film's theme of travel, Karthik revealed that the film would be shot across locations including [[Chennai]], [[Pollachi]], [[Coimbatore]], [[Chandigarh]] and [[Nainital]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/malayalam/movies/news/dulquer-to-play-multiple-characters-in-ra-karthiks-tamil-travelogue/articleshow/59144460.cms|title=Dulquer to play multiple characters in Ra Karthik’s Tamil travelogue - Times of India|website=The Times of India}}</ref> Actress [[Shalini Pandey]] joined the cast of the film during October 2017, but production was delayed as a result of Kenanya Films' financial problems.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://silverscreenindia.com/movies/news/shalini-pandey-in-dulquer-salmaans-tamil-film-with-ra-karthik/|title=Shalini Pandey In Dulquer Salmaan’s Tamil Film With Ra Karthik|date=9 October 2017}}</ref>

After a brief delay, the first look poster of the film was released in June 2018, confirming the identity of the principal crew members.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.thenewsminute.com/article/dulquer-salmaans-next-tamil-film-titled-vaan-83092|title=Dulquer Salmaan's next Tamil film titled 'Vaan'|date=15 June 2018|website=The News Minute}}</ref> Karthik noted that he initially wanted to title the film as ''Vaanam'' - after the sky, which changes its form and colour regularly, like the lead character - but the presence of an [[Vaanam|earlier film]] prompted him to choose ''Vaan''.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.firstpost.com/entertainment/vaan-has-all-the-elements-of-a-feel-good-drama-director-ra-karthik-dulquer-salmaans-upcoming-tamil-film-4551761.html|title=Vaan has all the elements of a feel-good drama: Director Ra Karthik Dulquer Salmaan's upcoming Tamil film-Entertainment News , Firstpost|date=20 June 2018|website=Firstpost}}</ref> The film was launched in December 2018, with a ceremony held in Chennai attended by Dulquer and crew members. At the event, [[Kalyani Priyadarshan]] and [[Kriti Kharbanda]] were announced as two of the lead actresses, with Karthik suggesting that the storyline travels from "Chennai to [[Kolkata]]" and that the film would be "along the lines of ''[[Jab We Met]]'' (2007)".<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://indianexpress.com/article/entertainment/tamil/kalyani-priyadarshan-kriti-kharbanda-dulquer-salmaans-vaan-5482784/|title=Kalyani Priyadarshan, Kriti Kharbanda roped in for Dulquer Salmaan’s Vaan|date=7 December 2018}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/malayalam/movies/dulquer-salmaans-vaan-starts-rolling/articleshow/66970917.cms|title=Dulquer Salmaan's Vaan starts rolling - Times of India|website=The Times of India}}</ref> [[Priya Bhavani Shankar]] also joined the film's cast in February 2019.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.cinemaexpress.com/stories/news/2019/feb/13/priya-bhavani-shankar-to-play-the-female-lead-in-dulquer-salmaans-vaan-10103.html|title=Priya Bhavani Shankar to play one of the female leads in Dulquer Salmaan's Vaan|website=The New Indian Express}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.cinemaexpress.com/stories/interviews/2019/may/22/priya-bhavani-shankar-i-will-never-go-back-to-television-ever-again--monster--sj-suryah-11739.html|title=Priya Bhavani Shankar: I will never go back to television ever again|website=The New Indian Express}}</ref> However, the production studio's continued financial problems and the [[COVID-19 pandemic]] prompted the film to be continually delayed and later dropped.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.newindianexpress.com/entertainment/tamil/2021/jan/02/2021-anew-dawn-fortamil-cinema-2244244.html|title=2021, a new dawn for Tamil cinema|website=The New Indian Express}}</ref>
