Vetrimaaran confirms plan to helm a Vijay-starrer: ‘He is ready, but…’

Furthermore, Vetrimaaran said that the long-anticipated sequel to Vada Chennai (2018) is currently in development and work on the film will be resumed once he is able to dedicate his full attention to it, after completing his current responsibilities.

Regarding casting Soori in Viduthalai Part 1, Vetrimaaran said, “At the time of Asuran itself, I had held talks with Soori and decided to cast him in the lead role in my next film. Though I tried to work on two scripts for this, neither of them turned out the way I wanted. Finally, Viduthalai happened.”

Upon release, Vetrimaaran’s Vidhuthalai Part 1 received good reviews. The Indian Express’ Kirubhakar Purushothaman noted in his review that the film “is heart-wrenching and might be a hard watch if you prefer your safety zone.”

The director also mentioned that the work on Suriya-starrer Vaadivaasal will begin once Viduthalai Part 2 is over. “It’s pre-production is going on. Our team is working on the film’s animatronics in London.”
