Simbu, Amala Paul in ‘Vada Chennai’

 

STR's next is confirmed. It's the long awaited 'Vada Chennai', to be directed by Vetrimaran of 'Polladhavan' and 'Aadukalam' fame. The film which will have Amala Paul as the leading lady will hit the floors early next year, once the actor completes his commitments, including 'Vettai Mannan' and 'Poda Podi'.

"In fact, Vada Chennai was the script that Vetrimaran wanted to film as his debut venture. But fate had it that he marked his entry as a director with Polladhavan and went on to make Aadukalam. Now he is all geared up to start Vada Chennai with STR in the lead," say sources.

Kishore, who is an inevitable part of Vetrimaran movies will play a crucial role in Vada Chennai too, with Tollywood actor Ram doing another important character. "The script will give enormous scope to Simbu to show his acting skills on screen. The star is impressed," they add.

It is learnt that Amala Paul, who is busy in Kollywood and Tollywood with multiple projects, allotted dates for 'Vada Chennai' despite difficulties since she thoroughly enjoyed listening to the script and her role in it. She will also be part of a Suriya-starrer to be directed by Hari.
