Silambarasan, popularly known as Simbu, continues to be the talk of Kollywood this season, captivating audiences not just with his massive fan following but also with a remarkable personal and professional transformation. This buzz has significantly amplified the anticipation surrounding his upcoming film, 'Arasan', a project that promises to be a cinematic milestone.
Vetri Maaran's Directorial Debut with Simbu
The excitement for 'Arasan' is largely fueled by the fact that it marks the first-ever collaboration between actor Silambarasan and acclaimed director Vetri Maaran. The film's initial shooting schedule, which took place in the locales of Kovilpatti and Madurai, has been successfully wrapped up. With this phase completed, the film's team and eager fans are now looking ahead to the commencement of the second schedule, which is poised to bring more developments to light.
Second Schedule Postponed Due to Logistical Hurdles
According to a recent report from Cinema Vikatan, the second schedule of 'Arasan' has encountered a temporary delay. Originally planned to kick off shortly after the Pongal festival, the shoot has been postponed primarily due to travel-related issues. The production, which was initially set to take place in a pre-arranged location, has now been relocated to Chennai. This shift comes after the project received the official green light, allowing the dedicated fanbases of both Vetri Maaran and Silambarasan to stay updated on every new piece of information.
Vijay Sethupathi's Date Conflicts Cause Hold-Up
A key factor contributing to this delay is the unavailability of dates for actor Vijay Sethupathi, who plays a pivotal role in 'Arasan'. Sethupathi is currently juggling multiple commitments, including his involvement in 'Jailer 2', 'Slumdog 33 Temple Road', and another film under the direction of Balaji Tharaneetharan. Consequently, the 'Arasan' team had to wait for a suitable window in his busy schedule. Fortunately, it appears that these date issues have now been resolved, paving the way for the next phase of filming to commence in Chennai during the second month of the upcoming month.
Upcoming Action Sequences and Cast Speculations
The forthcoming schedule is highly anticipated as it is expected to feature intense and gripping action sequences between Silambarasan and Vijay Sethupathi, adding to the film's allure. Additionally, industry rumors suggest that actress Samantha might be part of the cast, with reports indicating that two leading ladies could be involved in the project. In a related development, Silambarasan is set to undergo a significant appearance change for the third shooting schedule. Furthermore, by April, he is scheduled to begin work on his next film, which will be directed by Ashwath Marimuthu.
As the entertainment landscape evolves, stay tuned for more updates on 'Arasan' and other major releases in the Indian film industry.
