In the past, Dhanush and director Vetri Maaran have delivered blockbuster hits like Polladhavan and Aadukalam. For the third time, the duo has joined hands for a riveting gangster drama titled Vada Chennai.
As the title suggests, the film will chronicle the life of Dhanush (who plays Anbu in the film) in North Chennai. From the first look posters to the trailer, everything screams of the 80s and takes us on a nostalgic trip to the retro era.
Vada Chennai’s premise has been in Vetri Maaran’s mind since 2006. But, it took over 5 years for him to assemble an ensemble cast and commence the film’s shooting. After two years in the making, Vada Chennai is all set to hit the theatres on October 17.
The cast of Vada Chennai includes Dhanush, Ameer, Aishwarya Rajesh, Andrea Jeremiah, Samuthirakani, Daniel Balaji and Kishore in prominent roles.
