After
a
long
delay,
Maanaadu
starring
Silambarasan
will
be
hitting
the
theatres
on
November
25.
The
film
was
earlier
slated
to
release
on
November
4
along
with
Rajinikanth's
Annaatthe,
however,
the
makers
deferred
the
release
date
stating
that
the
distributors
and
theatre
owners
might
incur
huge
losses
owing
to
the
big
clash.
Well
now
as
the
STR-starrer
nears
its
release,
looks
like
the
Tamil
Nadu
government's
latest
circular
to
make
COVID-19
vaccination
mandatory
for
people
in
public
places
has
caused
a
headache
to
the
team.
As
per
the
new
circular,
the
DPH
(Directorate
of
Public
Health)
and
Preventive
Medicine
have
declared
that
only
vaccinated
people
will
be
allowed
to
public
places
like
theatres,
malls
and
markets.
The
new
vaccine
mandate
has
evidently
not
gone
down
well
with
the
makers
of
Maanaadu
especially
producer
Suresh
Kamatchi,
who
has
now
raised
his
voice
against
it.
Slamming
the
state
government,
Suresh
tweeted
in
Tamil,
"This
is
the
first
time
in
the
world
that
a
person
has
been
asked
to
go
to
the
theater
for
a
vaccine...
How
big
a
human
rights
violation
is
it
to
interfere
with
everyone's
freedom?
Let
people
in
the
theater
as
before!"
(loose
translation).
Later,
the
producer
also
issued
a
statement
tagging
the
Tamil
Nadu
Chief
Minister's
Twitter
page
(@CMOTamilnadu)
to
express
his
opinion
about
the
new
mandate
and
its
after-effects.
Directed
by
Venkat
Prabhu,
Maanaadu
features
Kalyani
Priyadarshan
as
the
female
lead.
Backed
by
Suresh
Kamatchi
under
V
House
Productions,
the
time
loop
film

ensemble
cast

Chandrasekhar,
Karunakaran,
Premgi
Amaren,
Udhaya,
Manoj
Bharathiraja,
Aravind
Akash,
Daniel
Annie
Pope
and
Ravikanth.
With
music
composed
by
renowned
music
composer
Yuvan
Shankar
Raja,
the
highly
anticipated
film
has
camera
cranked
by
Richard
M
Nathan.
