Suriya teamed up with Vetrimaaran for the film Vaadivaasal, which is based on Tamil Nadu’s most celebrated traditional sport, Jallikattu. The project has faced multiple delays, leading to growing frustration among Suriya’s fans. Vetrimaaran has spent considerable time on pre-production, particularly focusing on animatronics, but there is still no clarity on when the film will go on floors.
The filmmaker has finally addressed the delay while announcing his new film with Simbu. Vetrimaaran clarified that Vaadivaasal has been postponed due to multiple reasons, citing writing as one of the most challenging aspects of this rural sports drama. Additionally, the team has been dedicating significant time to technical preparations and safety measures to prevent any injuries to the actors.
As Vaadivaasal began taking more time than expected, Vetrimaaran decided to move forward with Simbu’s project, reportedly on Dhanush’s suggestion. Vetrimaaran narrated a story to Simbu, and with everything falling into place quickly, he temporarily set Vaadivaasal aside.
