Actor Silambarasan sheds 10 kg in 10 days for Vetri Maaran's upcoming film
In a video shared by the producers Grass Root Film Company, Vetri Maaran said, ''STR49' is set in the world of 'Vada Chennai', but it's not 'Vada Chennai 2'. Since Dhanush owns the copyright, I told him I was making a film with Silambarasan in the 'Vada Chennai' world. Dhanush didn't ask for a single rupee and willingly agreed to give an NOC. But unfortunately, there has been a lot of negative speculation about us.''I didn't appreciate the way these rumours were circulating. Dhanush would never interfere in my creative process. When I was in financial trouble recently, it was Dhanush who arranged the funds, as an advance from a producer,' he added.Actors Kavin and Manikandan are also expected to feature in cameo roles, adding to the star-studded ensemble. Andrea Jeremiah, Samuthirakani, and Kishore, who were part of 'Vada Chennai', will also reprise their roles in this untitled project, strengthening its ties to the established universe. This ensemble cast is expected to bring a dynamic range of performances to the film, enhancing its appeal.- Ends
