The rights to their 2018 blockbuster Vada Chennai have been the subject of reports lately, claiming that Dhanush, the actor, was causing problems for Vetrimaaran, the filmmaker. Vetrimaaran discussed his upcoming movie with Simbu (Silambarasan TR) and dispelled rumors surrounding the film and Dhanush in a video uploaded to the YouTube channel of his production company, Grass Root Film Company. He also mentioned that Dhanush assisted me when I was in a financial jam.

With Simbu and not Vada Chennai 2, Vetrimaaran explains the movie

Although his film with Simbu will take place in the world of Vada Chennai, it is not a sequel to the blockbuster movie, according to Vetrimaaran. He said that Dhanush owns the copyright to the film, which covers spin-offs, sequels, and prequels. In contrast to what the rumors claim, the filmmaker said that Dhanush gave Vetrimaaran the NOC without accepting any payment.

"Although STR 49 takes place in the world of Vada Chennai, it is not Vada Chennai 2. I informed him (Dhanush) about this film featuring Simbu, and he told me that this would be a new experience for me. Simbu also spoke to me and told me that he would be alright with a separate, independent movie as long as I was comfortable with it. He doesn't want any problems to arise between Dhanush and me. As a result, the director said, "They respect one another and are willing to give me the space to be myself."

According to Dhanush, he assisted him financially

Vetrimaaran also made it clear that he and Dhanush are not at odds about the endeavor and that their relationship is fine. “I don't want the discussion to be about Dhanush and this film. My relationship with Dhanush hasn't changed, and it hasn't had any impact on the movie. "He will never interrupt my creative process," he stated.

"Even now, when I had some financial problems recently, he ensured that I got what I needed from the producer and arranged for me to get an advance," he said, adding that Dhanush had recently helped him out when he needed it. Why am I saying this? To assure you that Dhanush will never bother me. From the moment I started out as an assistant director, Dhanush has been a great help. He has sung for me, if he hasn't performed or produced.

Vada Chennai follows the life of a carrom player who enters the criminal underworld. It is regarded as one of the best films in Dhanush's repertoire. Vetrimaaran has frequently mentioned that he has written additional tales in the same world. In addition, Suriya and Vetrimaaran talked about Vaadivasal, and Vetrimaaran said that the project has been delayed because of "writing, technical, and safety concerns."
