After "Love Today", Balasekaran started work on a film titled "Sollamalae" for producer R. B. Choudary but later opted out. The producer released a film with the same name and a different script, later in 1998. Following the relative success of his "Thulli Thirindha Kaalam" (1997), Kavithalayaa signed him on for a further film titled "Uyirezhuthu", though the project eventually did not materialise. He subsequently began making "Solli Vidu" for Vivekananda Pictures in mid-1998, with newcomers Raghuram, the son of producer Thiruppur Mani, and Jyothika in the lead roles. Jyothika was later replaced by Poonam. Supporting actors such as Raadhika, Raghuvaran and Prakash Raj were also signed up, but the film was later shelved.
In 2003, the director was signed on by producer Prakash Raj to direct a film titled "Thillalangadi" starring Prabhu Deva and Sneha. However the film failed to proceed and the venture was shelved.
