Suspense crime, Digital Desk : The highly anticipated sequel to the gritty and critically acclaimed gangster epic Vada Chennai has been a topic of persistent speculation among fans, with rumors swirling about the reasons for its delay. Most recently, whispers suggested that lead actor Dhanush had demanded a staggering ₹20 crore for the rights to the film, holding up its production. However, director Vetrimaaran has now stepped forward to adamantly clarify the situation, dispelling these financial rumors and shedding light on the true intricate reasons behind the sequel's unhurried pace.
The original Vada Chennai, released in 2018, captivated audiences with its raw portrayal of North Chennai's underworld, stellar performances, and a meticulously crafted narrative. Its open ending left viewers eagerly anticipating a follow-up. When Vada Chennai 2 didn't immediately materialize, the rumor mill churned, with the ₹20 crore demand becoming a particularly sticky point that seemed to place the blame squarely on Dhanush.
Vetrimaaran, the visionary behind the film, has now unequivocally stated that the delay has absolutely nothing to do with any financial demands or the acquisition of rights from Dhanush. He emphasized that both he and Dhanush are deeply invested in the project and are equally keen to bring the story of Anbu (Dhanush's character) to its logical conclusion. The director clarified that the core issue is not a monetary dispute, but rather a matter of finding the right creative window and ensuring the project receives the meticulous attention it deserves.
The primary reason for the hold-up, according to Vetrimaaran, lies in his demanding schedule and the arduous process of developing the Vada Chennai universe. He is currently deeply immersed in the post-production of his much-awaited film Viduthalai 2, a project that requires his full dedication. Following that, he has another significant film, Vaadi Vaasal (starring Suriya), lined up. Crafting a sequel like Vada Chennai 2 requires extensive pre-production, writing, and a prolonged shooting schedule, which simply isn't feasible amidst his current commitments.
Vetrimaaran underscored that the process of creating Vada Chennai itself was a massive undertaking, and expanding its universe for a sequel needs a similar level of commitment and creative space. He remains committed to telling Anbu's story properly, not rushing it to meet external expectations. While fans might have to wait a bit longer, Vetrimaaran's clarification provides reassurance: the sequel is not shelved, but rather awaiting the opportune moment and the director's undivided creative attention. The focus is on quality and an organic evolution of the narrative, rather than succumbing to market pressures or baseless financial demands.
