Vadivelu, the ‘comedy king’ who ruled the roost for almost two decades, has been on a long hiatus after the change of guard in the state in 2012. Actor-comedian Santhanam has filled the void since then. With Vadivelu’s recent attempts to be a solo hero proving futile, and with the state assembly elections around the corner, the actor is now back to what he is best at —churning out humour!
All thanks to the recent Nadigar Sangam elections, which brought him to forefront once again. The Imsai Arasan star actively involved himself in various activities during the Sangam’s elections, supporting Vishal’s team. Director Suraj has roped him in for a Vishal film titled Kaththi Sandai, hoping to get a taste of his trademark comedy.
One may recall that the Suraj- Vadivelu combo had worked wonders in the movies Maruthamalai and Thalai Nagaram. Even Vadivelu’s comedy in the Vishal-starrer Thimiru released a decade ago, was a riot. A full-on commercial flick, Kaththi Sandai is being produced by Nandagopal. The hunt is on to decide the lead heroine for the project.
