In July 2011, Menon began pre-production work on the first film of an action-adventure series of films titled ''[[:ta::யோஹன்: அத்தியாயம் ஒன்று|Yohan]]'' starring [[Vijay (actor)|Vijay]] in the title role with the first film titled ''Yohan: Adhyayam Ondru''. He revealed that the film would narrate the tale of an agent going against an arms dealer, who has caused mass destruction around the world, and compared the theme of the film to the [[List of James Bond films|''Bond'' series]]. The character of Yohan would play an American citizen, and an English actress would be cast in the lead female role.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lCOkNhdY_tc&t=1003s</ref>
