My equation with Dhanush isn't going to be affected by a film: Vetri Maaran
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.
