With speculations rife that he’s cast Simbu and Amala Paul for this project, a well-informed source says, “This project, Vada Chennai, will go on floors from February and Simbu has been cast in the lead. Amala Paul, Tollywood actor Ram and Kishore have been roped in to play important roles. Meanwhile, he’s also eager to restart work on his Desiya Nedunjalai, a project that he worked on with Dhanush.”
However, all that a non-committal Vetri can say now is, “I will be getting a clear picture on the whole cast and crew in a few days. Amala isn’t in the project yet.”
Interestingly, Vetri had earlier admitted to CT that Vada Chennai was like the Bible for him. He had said then, “Vada Chennai was supposed to be my first film. It’s a big story and is the Bible for my Polladhavan and Aadukalam. I took notes from the first script to make my other two films.”
