Maanaadu,
the

action
thriller
that
features

in
the
lead
role,
is
one
of
the
most-awaited
Tamil
films
of
2021.
The
release
of
the
project,
which
marks
Simbu's
first
collaboration
with
director
Venkat
Prabhu
was
wrapped
up
a
couple
of
months
back.
As
per
the
latest
reports,
the
makers
are
now
planning
to
release
Maanaadu
on

Pooja
(October
14,
2021).
Even
though
the
Silambarasan-starrer
was
originally
planned
for
a
Summer
2021
release,
it
was
delayed
due
to
the
novel
Coronavirus
pandemic.
However,
the
makers
have
decided
not
to
go
the
OTT
way
and
want
to
wait
till
the
theatres
reopen.
If
things
go
as
planned
and
theatres
reopen,
Maanaadu
will
be
released
as
a
Ayudha
Pooja
special
release
this
year.
With
the
new
revelation
by
the
sources
close
to
the
project,
rumours
regarding
the
OTT
release
of
Maanaadu
have
finally
died
down.
The
new
reports
regarding
the
theatrical
release
of
the
Simbu-starrer
came
out
as
a
great
relief
for
the
actor's
fans
and
cine-goers,
who
want
to
watch
the
film
on
the
big
screen.
Maanaadu
is
said
to
be
a
complete
action
thriller
that
is
narrated
in
the
backdrop
of
socio-political
issues.
The
project
was
widely
shot
at
the
various
locations
of

and

role
in
