Simbu Shocks Fans By Dropping 10 Kilos
While there was early talk that this might be Vada Chennai 2, Vetrimaaran cleared it up. It’s not a sequel.;
Simbu has done it again, changed the game without much noise. The actor recently lost 10 kilos in just 10 days for his next film with director Vetrimaaran. Just a quiet transformation that’s now speaking for itself. This kind of focus isn’t new to Simbu, but the speed of the change has definitely caught everyone’s attention.
While there was early talk that this might be Vada Chennai 2, Vetrimaaran cleared it up. It’s not a sequel. The film shares the same world, the same North Chennai setting, but it’s a different story. Dhanush still holds the rights to Vada Chennai, and this new project with Simbu stands apart. That said, it carries the same gritty tone, and Simbu’s physical change suggests a demanding role.
The teaser shoot is already done. A crew member confirmed that Simbu has wrapped it up and that the footage will be out soon. His look in the film is meant to show a younger version of the character, which explains the rapid transformation.
Vetrimaaran made it clear that STR49 lives in the world of Vada Chennai, but it’s not trying to continue the old story. With Simbu taking the lead, and the director sticking to his raw, grounded storytelling style, the film seems to be shaping up as something tough and rooted.
