Vetrimaaran’s ambitious project with Dhanush, Vada Chennai, will be made as a single film, and not in two parts as had been originally announced by the filmmaker. Lyca Prodcutions will co-produce the film along with Dhanush’s Wunderbar Studios. Lyca’s creative head Raju Mahalingam tweeted:

The film, which stars Dhanush, will span 30 years of a gangster’s life. Samantha has also been signed as the female lead. Jiiva and Vijay Sethupathi are currently being considered for a key role in the film. Shooting is expected to begin after Dhanush completes Gautham Menon’s Enai Noki Paayum Thota.
