“It’s better I don’t talk about Vada Chennai now,” says Vetrimaaran

Director Vetrimaaran has said that he expected Visaaranai to win national awards. “But we never made the film solely to win awards. We narrate a story that we like to tell. We have to give our fullest to the film, the producer should recover his investment. That’s all. I don’t make films to win awards. I consider awards as a morale booster,” Vetrimaaran said.

Quiz him about the status of his long-pending two-part gangster drama Vada Chennai, Vetrimaaran opts to remain mum. “I’m more anxious than anyone else. I feel scared when I hear the word Vada Chennai. We keep talking about the film, but it keeps getting postponed for various reasons. It’s better I don’t talk about the film right now,” he said.
