His film ‘Viduthalai: Part 1’ was recently released and is running well in the cinemas. Starring Vijay Sethupathi, the film revolves around the themes of police brutality in the backdrop of separatism.

‘Vada Chennai 2’ will mark the third collaboration between Vetrimaaran and Dhanush as they worked together in superhit political dramas ‘Asuran’ and ‘Vada Chennai’.
