Actor Shanmuga Pandian Vijayakanth last graced the silver screens in the action entertainer Kombuseevi helmed by Ponram with actors Tharnika and Sarathkumar in the lead role. The Padai Thalaivan actor will soon have his next release in the upcoming action drama Vaanavedikkai. Director Thiru, who is known for his previous works such as Samar and Naan Sigappu Manithan, has written and helmed the movie. 

Actress Shivani Rajashekar of Singapore Saloon fame, has depicted the female lead role in the venture. The production house is currently moving to finalize a December release date for the movie. The official release date of the drama is expected to be publicized soon. The makers have already begun to promote the entertainer across all platforms. As part of it, they have now released the trailer of the project on social media. 

Taking to his official X handle, actor Ravi Mohan unveiled the trailer of Vaanavedikkai and wrote, “Happy to Release the Trailer of Vaanavedikkai. Wishing the entire team great success! After years of creating magic behind the camera, it’s so special to see you step in front of it, Mohan Raja anna waiting to see you in many more memorable roles. Starring Shanmuga Pandian Vijayakanth. Directed by Thiru. Produced by L K Sudhish MP. A Sam C S Musical. Shivani Rajashekar, Captain Cine Creations, Aravind Kumar, Rajkamal, Lahari Music, Sudharsan Rajasekaran, Santhosh, Captain MP Anand.” Here is the post made by the actor. 

Two minutes long trailer of Vaanavedikkai opens with the voiceover of actor Mohan Raja, “First they said a man needs food in his belly to live. Then . . . they said shelter. And after that, they said it is money that buys all of these. Whatever matters to whoever, the most vital thing for me is hygiene. I am a hygiene demon.” We then have the intro of him as a tycoon who opens fires at someone. 

Subsequently, he asks a cop, “Did you not say he is just a guy who runs a firecracker shop in North Madras?” The scene shifts to actress Shivani Rajashekar asking Shanmuga Pandian, “What’s up, Poongundran? The whole town is glowing.” Following which a character tells him, “The firecracker you set off has the whole town burning!” In a scene, a cop informs Shanmuga Pandian, “Poongundran, he struggles with a condition called OCD.” 

To which he asks, “That is an illness exclusive to the rich, right, sir?” Then a cop tells someone via a call, “Poongundran has struck the very nerve of the rich versus poor chord, sir.” In a shot, Shanmuga Pandian articulates, “Even with a thousand enemies facing you, your eyes must never show a shred of fear. I am the son of the man who raised me by hammering this into my head. Shall we give them a comeback?” The trailer ends with him mouthing, “Happy Deepavali.”

Besides Shanmuga Pandian and Shivani Rajashekar, the casting team of the flick also has actors Mohan Raja, Jayaprakash, Kiran, Saravanan, Chitra Lakshmanan, John Mahendran, Indhumathi, Sha Ra, Thalaivasal Vijay, Amma Creations Siva, Stills Pandiyan, Kumki Aswin, Subhiksha, and Director Tamizh playing various supporting roles. Music composer Sam C S has been roped in to score music for the flick. 

Cinematographer Arvi has overseen the visuals and camera division for the drama. Editor Sudharsan R has been brought on board to chop and patch the movie. Art director Rajkamal has engineered the background for the venture. Stunt master Santhosh fashioned action blocks for the project. The film is funded by L K Sudhish under the production studio Captain Cine Creations.  

On the work front, actor Shanmuga Pandian is now busy shooting for his next untitled flick created by story teller Anbarasan in which he will be sharing screen space with actresses Yamini Chander & Kasthuri Raja.
