An exciting project was announced last year where Venkat Prabhu had announced that he would be directing a film, Maanaadu featuring Simbu and Kalyani Priyadarshan in the lead roles which would be produced by Suresh Kamatchi under the banner V House Productions.
However, the producer has officially stated that STR will no longer be a part of the project. In a statement that was released today, 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 avoid dropping Simbu from it.
Now, the director of the film, Venkat Prabhu has taken to his Twitter and penned an emotional tweet. “It’s very unfortunate that I couldn’t work with my brother #str in #maanaadu Everything is time bounded. Considering the amount of emotional and financial pressure that the producer is going through, I have to respect the decision taken by the producer. Thanks for all the love!” Check out the tweet below -
