B'DAY PHONE CALL, WILL MAANAADU TAKE-OFF WITH STR?

However, recently the producer had officially stated that STR would no longer be a part of the project. In a statement that was released earlier, he said how good hearted Simbu is, but the film didn't materialize due to logistical issues. He added that this was a project close to his heart, but couldn't continue with Simbu in it.

Today, on the occasion of the producer, Suresh Kamatchi’s birthday, STR gave a pleasant surprise by sending his birthday wishes over phone, but that has spread rumours that STR has also given a green signal to revive Maanaadu.

Sources close to us have also informed that STR had no negative vibes with the producer and still maintains a good relationship. But due to some miscommunication that had prevailed, the producer was provoked to issue the statement. As the team has almost completed the pre-production works of this project, and both Director Venkat Prabhu and Simbu had together worked on for this project for long, we need to wait to see if STR will be back on this project or if the team will proceed the project with another star. However, an official word is awaited for the same.
