Vanamagan (Son of Nature) is an upcoming Indian Tamil-language action adventure film written and directed by A. L. Vijay. The film features Jayam Ravi and Sayyeshaa in the lead roles, while Varun plays a pivotal role and Harris Jayaraj is the music composer. The venture began production in September 2016.

In November 2015, it was reported that A. L. Vijay would direct a film starring Jayam Ravi in the lead role. The actor confirmed that the duo would begin work on the project in the middle of 2016, following the completion of his other films. The film was reported to be about a man who escapes from the lost kingdom of Kumari Kandam. In May 2016, Vijay confirmed that the project would begin later in the year and revealed that the film would be shot extensively in the Andaman Islands. Music composer Harris Jayaraj and cinematographer Tirru were also brought in for the project.

The film was subsequently launched in September 2016 with production beginning thereafter in Chennai. Sayyeshaa was signed on to portray the leading female role in the film, marking her debut in Tamil films. Sanjay Bharathi and Varun also signed on to work on the film, with the latter revealing that he would play the heroine's love interest and that Jayam Ravi would portray a tribal man who finds himself in the city. The film teaser was officially released on 6 February 2017. The background score of the teaser was that of an African tribal music and was well received.

Initially the film had its release date fixed on 19 May 2017. Due to the announcement of film industry strike on 30 May 2017, the producer has postponed the theatrical release to 23 June 2017. The satellite rights were sold to Zee Tamizh.

The film's original soundtrack is scored by Harris Jayaraj, his first collaboration with director A. L. Vijay and third film with actor Jayam Ravi after Dhaam Dhoom and Engeyum Kaadhal. The complete album was released on 22 April 2017.
