Venkat Prabhu had announced earlier that his next project will feature Simbu and Kalyani Priyadarshan as the lead pair, and that the movie will be bankrolled by Suresh Kamatchi under the banner V House Productions.
Touted to be a political genre movie, this project was highly anticipated due to the interesting combo of STR and Venkat Prabhu. However, the producer of the film had earlier announced in August that STR will no longer be a part of the project and that the film didn't materialize due to logistical issues.
But recently the producer took to his social media handle to announce that STR is back and the shooting dates of the upcoming film, Maanadu will be announced soon. Recently, we had reported that Venkat Prabhu had started discussions for Maanadu and the shoot schedule was planned from February 1st week.
Now that the movie's cast and crew details were recently updated, Venkat Prabhu had released a video in which he had spoken an interesting contest. Since this is the first time STR plays a Muslim role, he has asked fans to suggest character names for STR's role, and the one lucky winner whose suggestion gets selected, that particular person will get to watch the movie's shoot for a day! Watch the video here!
