In 2000, Vadivudaiyan planned to make Puththan, starring Arunkumar and Divya Unni. The film was shelved before production ended.

During the making of the film, local people protested against the use of the title and attacked the director on set.

In 2012, Vadivudaiyan opened production studio Singam Cinema and announced that he would make a trilingual film titled Chokkanathan.

Unable to release his earlier film, Vadivudaiyan signed up Srikanth and Raai Laxmi to star in a horror film titled Sowkarpettai (2016). He worked on a further horror film, Pottu (2019), starring Bharath, Iniya and Namitha. [8]
In late 2017, Vadivudaiyan began work on Veeramadevi, a period drama featuring Sunny Leone in the lead role. [9] The shoot of the film was completed throughout schedules conducted in 2018, and by early 2019, the director announced a further political drama film with Sunny Leone titled Delhi. [10] While the latter did not develop into production, Veeramadevi became stalled and did not have a theatrical release. [11] In early 2020, Vadivudaiyan announced a project titled Paambattam featuring Jeevan and Mallika Sherawat in the lead roles. Production on the film progressed slowly over the course of several years, though it remains unreleased. [12] [13] In mid-2022, Vadivudaiyan revealed that he was working on a project titled Naga Bhairava with Zareen Khan in dual lead roles. [14]
