This will be the first Tamil film to be made in three parts. 'Vada Chennai' has been projected as a trilogy, with the first installment set to hit theatres this year.
Vijay Sethupathi was supposed to reprise Ameer Sultan's role. However, he felt a certain unease with the scheduling and the plot as a whole and dropped out of the project.
Since the film begins in the 1980s, the makers have spent a big amount to erect a massive retro style set for the shoot.
Vetri maran wrote the story back in 2003.
Interestingly, Vetri Maaran has simultaneously shot for the second part of the franchise during the first shoot schedule.
