Venkat Prabhu’s Maanadu stars Simbu in the lead. The film is rumoured to have actor Jai in a cameo role, with Raashi Khanna or Keerthy Suresh playing the female lead. Arjun Sarja might star as the antagonist. There has been no confirmation regarding these speculations.
A spokesperson for the director told Silverscreen, “As of now the director is busy with the releases of RK Nagar and Party. So work on Maanadu’s production has not proceeded any further. Any update on this film will happen only after the release of Venkat Prabhu’s other films that have been scheduled.”
