Suriya and director Vetrimaaran’s much-anticipated project Vaadivaasal, based on Tamil Nadu’s iconic traditional sport Jallikattu, has faced significant delays. The film was expected to kick off long ago but was postponed as Vetrimaaran dedicated more time than planned to the Viduthalai franchise. While fans were thrilled when the project was announced, the repeated delays left them disappointed.
Adding to the anticipation, Suriya’s recent career choices have raised concerns, with fans urging the actor to prioritize Vaadivaasal. Addressing the suspense surrounding the film, producer Kalaipuli S. Thanu shared updates during the promotions of Kichcha Sudeep’s Max. He stated, “Suriya sir was always ready, but he had to wait for Vetrimaaran to wrap up Viduthalai.”
Thanu further revealed, “Now that Viduthalai has been released, Vetrimaaran will shift his focus to Vaadivaasal. The animatronics work, which is in its final stages in London, is progressing well, and the film will begin shooting soon.”
The director is committed to spending extra time on pre-production to ensure perfection. Suriya is expected to start filming Vaadivaasal once he completes his current project with RJ Balaji. Fans can now look forward to the long-awaited sports drama finally taking shape.
