The industry is also abuzz with talk that the promo shoot of the film has already been completed and that VFX work on it is currently in progress.

It may be recalled that director Vetrimaran had recently put an end to speculation surrounding the second part of his eagerly awaited film Vada Chennai. Vetrimaran clarified that his next film would feature Simbu in the lead, but it would not be Vada Chennai 2 as was being speculated in some sections of the media. He made it clear that, however, the story of this film would be set in the world of Vada Chennai.

In an interview on his YouTube channel, Vetrimaran said, “My next film is to be produced by Kalaipuli S Thanu and will feature Simbu in the lead.”

Dismissing speculation that this project with Simbu was Vada Chennai 2, Vetrimaran said, “There is a lot of speculation if this will be Vada Chennai 2. I want to clear that speculation as well. This is not Vada Chennai 2. What Dhanush acts in will be Vada Chennai 2. However, this story will also be set in the world of Vada Chennai, which means certain aspects of that world will be there in this story as well. This story will also be in a similar timeline.”

Sources in the industry have disclosed that Simbu will sport not one but two looks in the film. They claim that apart from a look that will match his current age, Simbu will also sport a younger look.
