A rumour has been spreading online that a rift cropped up between Silambarasan TR and producer Kalaipuli S Thanu, which allegedly pushed the team to delay the start of their upcoming film Arasan.
The makers shut down the rumours by announcing a major cast addition. Vijay Sethupathi has joined the film, and he is set to play the antagonist.
Vetrimaaran is directing the project, and the announcement glimpse itself sparked massive excitement. The shoot is scheduled to begin this weekend.
The film’s Telugu title is Saamrajyam, and Kalaipuli S Thanu is producing it under V Creations. The team has yet to confirm the female lead, though strong speculation points to Samantha coming on board.
