My equation with Dhanush isn't going to be affected by a film: Vetri Maaran
'Our relationship isn't going to be affected by a film or an incident. He will never disrupt the creative flow I have. He always wants me to keep my headspace clear,' he added. Even as there has been speculation on social media that Dhanush asked for Rs 20 crore to let Vetri Maaran set his upcoming film with Silambarasan TR in the Vada Chennai universe, the National Award-winning filmmaker has officially confirmed the project that his upcoming film with Silambarasan TR will be set in the same world as the 2018 gangster drama, but isn't Vada Chennai 2. In a video shared on his YouTube channel, the filmmaker shared, 'Whenever Vada Chennai 2 happens, it will star Dhanush. But this film is also set in the world of Vada Chennai . Some of the characters and aspects of that film will also be in this one. This will also be in a similar timeline.' Addressing the speculation about a possible rift between him and Dhanush, who was the producer of Vada Chennai , he stated, 'I called Dhanush and said that I could do this film in two ways — I could either set it up in the world of Vada Chennai or make it as a standalone film — and will go by his decision since he is the copyright owner of Vada Chennai . But he told me to do whatever makes me creatively comfortable. He said he doesn't need any money and will immediately give the NOC. ' 'Our relationship isn't going to be affected by a film or an incident. He will never disrupt the creative flow I have. He always wants me to keep my headspace clear,' he added. Additionally, Vetri Maaran clarified that Vaadivaasal , his project with Suriya, isn't dropped, but just postponed. ' Vaadivaasal got delayed in writing. Also, we needed more time to figure out the technicalities to ensure the safety of the artistes and animals,' he shared.

Vetrimaaran busts rumours of rift with Dhanush over Simbu film; says actor helped him financially
Recently, there have been rumours that actor Dhanush was causing issues to filmmaker Vetrimaaran over the rights of their 2018 hit Vada Chennai. In a video posted on his production house's YouTube channel, Grass Root Film Company, Vetrimaaran spoke about his next film with Simbu (Silambarasan TR) and clarified rumours surrounding the film and Dhanush. He also stated that Dhanush helped me when he was in financial pinch. Dhanush and Vetrimaaran have worked together in films like Vada Chennai and Asuran. Vetrimaaran stated that while it was true his film with Simbu would be set in the world of Vada Chennai, it is not a sequel to the hit film. He mentioned that Dhanush holds the copyright to the film, including spin-offs, sequels and prequels. The filmmaker said that despite what rumours state, Dhanush handed over the NOC to Vetrimaaran without taking a single penny. 'STR 49 is set in the world of Vada Chennai, but it's not Vada Chennai 2. I told him (Dhanush) about this film with Simbu, and he said this would be a new experience for me. Simbu also met me and asked me to only do this film if I'm okay with it, saying he's okay with a separate, standalone film too. He does not want issues to crop up between me and Dhanush. So, they respect each other and are ready to give me the space to be myself,' said the director. Says Dhanush helped him financially Vetrimaaran also clarified that he and Dhanush are not feuding over the project and that everything is alright between them. 'I don't like the conversation revolving around Dhanush and this movie. My relationship with Dhanush has not changed, nor has it affected the film in any way. He will never disrupt my creative flow,' he said. He also added that Dhanush recently helped him out when he needed it, 'Even now, when I had some financial problems recently, he ensured that I got what I needed from the producer and arranged for me to get an advance. Why am I telling this? To tell you that Dhanush will never disturb me. Since I began working as an assistant director, Dhanush has been very supportive. If not produce or act, he has sung for me.' Vada Chennai tells the story of a carrom player who sets foot into the world of crime. It is considered to be one of the best films in Dhanush's filmography. Vetrimaaran has often spoken about how he has more stories written in the same universe. Vetrimaaran also spoke about Vaadivasal with Suriya and stated that there has been a delay in the project due to 'writing, technical and safety issues'.

Is Silambarasan's STR49 actually Vada Chennai 2? Vetrimaaran says ‘Dhanush is copyright holder of…'
All eyes have been on filmmaker Vetrimaaran regarding an update on the highly anticipated sequel to Vada Chennai, Vada Chennai 2. The film, which starred Dhanush back in 2018, was quite successful and was announced to be the first part of a planned trilogy. Over the years, despite a lack of updates on the project, the filmmaker has recently cleared the air on any rumors associated with it. Is Vetrimaaran turning Silambarasan TR's STR49 into Vada Chennai 2? In a recent video shared by the producers, Grass Root Film Company, filmmaker Vetrimaaran dismissed the buzz that his next film, STR49 with Silambarasan TR, was actually Vada Chennai 2. He clarified that it was untrue and that STR49 would be set in the world of Vada Chennai, but is not its sequel. Vetrimaaran mentioned that, in fact, the copyright of the entire film, including plans for spin-offs, sequels, and prequels, lies in the hands of Dhanush alone. Furthermore, he added that the Kuberaa actor willingly gave him the NOC for STR49 and did not take a single penny. He said, 'STR49 is set in the world of Vadachannai, but it's not Vada Chennai 2. As Dhanush is the copyright holder of Vadachannai film, I said that I'm making a film with Silambarasan TR in Vada Chennai world. Dhanush didn't even ask for a single rupee and said that he will give NOC. But there are many negative speculations that are going on with us.' Vetrimaaran recalls Dhanush's help during financial trouble In the same video, the director spilled the beans on the kind of equation he shares with Dhanush and revealed how the latter has always been a close aide. Vetrimaaran recalled how he had recently faced financial trouble, and it was the actor who was the first to arrange finances for him. The filmmaker said, 'I didn't like the way the speculations were going between us. Dhanush will never disturb the creative flow of me. I got in financial trouble recently, Dhanush was the one who arranged the finance, as an advance from a producer.' Vetrimaaran further went on to mention how Dhanush was fine with Silambarasan doing a film in the world of Vada Chennai. In fact, even the Thug Life actor mentioned not wanting to ruin the bonding between the former duo and agreed to do either Vada Chennai sequel or a movie set in its world.
