Vadivelu made a strong comeback with his film 'Maamannan'. Directed by Mari Selvaraj, the political thriller starred Udhayanidhi Stalin, Vadivelu, Fahadh Faasil, and Keerthy Suresh in the lead roles. The film was critically acclaimed, and actor Vadivelu received a lot of praise for playing a serious role.
'Maamannan' marked Vadivelu's comeback into Tamil cinema after many years, and now news reports suggest that actor and producer Kamal Haasan is planning to make a political film with Vadivelu in the lead role. However, official confirmation is awaited.
Vadivelu has worked with Kamal Haasan in multiple films, and even when Vadivelu had no job opportunities after his controversial speech, Kamal Haasan still offered him a role in the film 'Thalaivan Irukkindran'. However, the movie was later shelved.
It is now stated that Kamal Haasan will produce the political film, which will star Vadivelu in the lead role. On the work front, Kamal Haasan is now shooting for his film 'Indian 2' with Shankar. Following this, the actor has signed up for two films: KH 233' with H. Vinoth and 'KH 234' with Mani Ratnam.
