Filming was initially planned to be completed entirely in three months; however, work on the film stopped in June due to a reported tiff between the lead actor and director. Following this, ''Vanangaan'' was rumored to have been dropped, which Suriya debunked with a social media post in which he stated that he was "waiting to be back on sets".<ref>{{Cite web |date=2022-05-27 |title=Suriya Dismisses Rumours of His Project With Director Bala Getting Shelved |url=https://www.news18.com/news/movies/suriya-dismisses-rumours-of-his-project-with-director-bala-getting-shelved-5258161.html |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220609185300/https://www.news18.com/news/movies/suriya-dismisses-rumours-of-his-project-with-director-bala-getting-shelved-5258161.html |archive-date=9 June 2022 |access-date=2023-03-13 |website=[[News18]]}}</ref> However, on 4 December 2022, Bala announced that Suriya and 2D Entertainment were no longer part of the project due to changes in the film's story.<ref>{{Cite web |date=4 December 2022 |title=Actor Suriya drops out of director Bala's Vanangaan |url=https://www.thehindu.com/news/national/tamil-nadu/actor-suriya-drops-out-of-director-balas-vanangaan/article66223809.ece |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221204202323/https://www.thehindu.com/news/national/tamil-nadu/actor-suriya-drops-out-of-director-balas-vanangaan/article66223809.ece |archive-date=4 December 2022 |access-date=4 December 2022 |website=[[The Hindu]]}}</ref> By March 2023, [[Arun Vijay]] was confirmed as Suriya's replacement,<ref>{{Cite web |date=2023-03-13 |title=Arun Vijay Spotted With Crew in Latest Still From Vanangaan Sets |url=https://www.news18.com/movies/does-arun-vijay-fit-the-bill-for-lead-in-balas-vanangaan-check-new-look-7283239.html |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230313163321/https://www.news18.com/movies/does-arun-vijay-fit-the-bill-for-lead-in-balas-vanangaan-check-new-look-7283239.html |archive-date=13 March 2023 |access-date=2023-03-13 |website=[[News18]]}}</ref> and [[Roshni Prakash]] replaced Shetty.<ref>{{Cite web |date=6 March 2023 |title=Roshni Prakash replaces Krithi Shetty in Bala's Vanangaan |url=https://www.newindianexpress.com/entertainment/kannada/2023/mar/06/roshni-prakash-replaces-krithi-shetty-in-balas-vanangaan-2553433.html |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230313060800/https://www.newindianexpress.com/entertainment/kannada/2023/mar/06/roshni-prakash-replaces-krithi-shetty-in-balas-vanangaan-2553433.html |archive-date=13 March 2023 |access-date=2023-03-13 |website=[[The New Indian Express]]}}</ref> The final filming schedule took place in Thiruvannamalai.<ref>{{Cite web |last=vinoth |date=16 August 2023 |title=பாலாவின் வணங்கான் படத்தின் இறுதிகட்ட ஷூட்டிங் அப்டேட்! |url=https://tamil.webdunia.com/article/tamil-cinema-news-movie-film/bala-vanangaan-movie-final-shoot-in-thiruvannamalai-123081600004_1.html |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230816060928/https://tamil.webdunia.com/article/tamil-cinema-news-movie-film/bala-vanangaan-movie-final-shoot-in-thiruvannamalai-123081600004_1.html |archive-date=16 August 2023 |access-date=16 August 2023 |website=Webdunia |language=ta}}</ref>
