Maanaadu
has
indeed
gone
through
a
rough
phase
with
a
major
delay,
courtesy
it's
lead
actor
Silambarasan
aka
STR.
The
ongoing
Coronavirus
lockdown
is
now
responsible
for
the
further
indefinite
hold-up.
Well,
looks
like
STR
is
on
a
major
upgrade
mode
or
maybe
he
is
missing
shoots,
as
we
hear
that
the
actor
has
told
the
producer,
Suresh
Kamatchi
that
he
is
ready
to
shoot
for
the
political
thriller
amid
the
lockdown.
There
are
reports
that
Simbu
has
said
that
he
would
be
available
for
the
team
whenever
they
want
him
for
the
shoot.
Earlier,
there
were
several
rumours
suggesting
that
the
actor
doesn't
reach
the
location
on
time,
which
apparently
irked
the
makers
of
the
film.
Well,
this
change
in
the
actor
is
amazing
and
we
are
sure
this
will
impress
the
makers.
On
the
other
hand,
the
movie
will
only
resume
its
shoot
once
the
government
lifts
the
lockdown
imposed
in
Tamil
Nadu.
Directed
by
Venkat
Prabhu,
Maanaadu
will
have
Kalyani
Priyadarshan
romancing
STR.
The
actor
will
be
essaying
the
role
of
a
Muslim
youngster
in
the
political
thriller,
bankrolled
by
Suresh
Kamatchi,
who
a
few
months
ago
had
announced
that
he
was
dropping
the
project
due
to
his
differences
with
the
lead
actor.
The
movie
will
also
feature
Premgi
Amaren,
Venkat
Prabhu,
Karunakaran,
SA
Chandrasekar,
and
Bharathiraja
in
pivotal
roles.
SJ
Suryah
has
been
signed
to
play
the
lead
antagonist
in
Maanaadu.
The
camera
is
cranked
by
Richard
M
Nathan
while
Yuvan
Shankar
Raja
has
composed
the
music
for
the
highly-anticipated
movie.
Well,
the
makers
are
targeting
for
August
2020
release,
which
is
now
questionable
due
to
the
ongoing
pandemic.
On
a
related
note,
STR
also
has
another
upcoming
film
Mufti,
which
has
been
reportedly
shelved.
He
is
also
in
talks
with
several
directors
for
upcoming
films.
