Vadivelu starrer ‘Nai Shekhar Returns’ is releasing on Friday after a long time.
Will this film fulfill the wishes of his fans? In 2017, Vadivelu’s Mersal opposite Vijay was released.
After this, he did not act in any film for five years.
The sequel to Imsai Arasan Twenty-third Pulikesi, Imsai Arasan Twenty-fourth Pulikesi was produced by Shankar and Vadivelu was to star.
As the sets for the film were all set, Vadivelu refused to act in the film, and Shankar demanded a refund of the cost of the sets. As Vadivelu did not accept it, he was given a ‘red card’.
Ended Panchayat
The film to be produced by Shankar was to be produced for Leica based on the first copy.
So, Vadivelu offered Laika a film instead. With this, the four-year red card case against Vadivelu came to an end.
Meanwhile, his fans went into a celebratory mood when the news broke that he would be acting in Nai Shekhar Returns.
There were two reasons for this. For one thing, Vadivelu’s character Nai Shekhar in the film Capital was a very popular one and there were laugh-out-loud comic scenes in it.
Secondly, Vadivelu paired with Suraj in Capital, Marudamalai all his comedy sequences were excellent.
Even in Kaththi Dudlu, the comedy was good, though not as much as before.
That’s why there is a lot of anticipation for Suraj and Vadivelu’s film. The film was originally titled as Nai Shekhar.
But AGS Entertainment had already started a film with Satish under the name Nai Shekhar.
After several rounds of negotiations, the film was titled Nai Shekhar Returns, with AGS reluctant to divulge the name.
Vadivelu is the protagonist in this film. But the film does not have the usual alliance with Vadivelu.
Starring Muneeskanth, Redin Kingsley, ‘Lollu Saba’ Maran, ‘Lollu Saba’ Seshu, ‘Kalakkapovodu Yaaru’ Ramar, ‘Cook With Komali’ Shivangi.
Santhosh Narayanan has composed the music for this film produced by Lyca Productions. The teaser of this film was recently released as the film is releasing tomorrow.
But the scenes in the teaser were not much laughable compared to his previous films.
Even before this, if Imsai Arasan had left the 23rd Pulikesi film, Vadivelu starrer Indra Lokham Na. Movies like Alagappan, Thenaliraman, Eli were not big hits and the comedy was not as much as the fans expected.
Also, Na in Indraloka. Alagappan and Thenali Raman also featured a lot of advice-giving scenes.
Meanwhile, the trailer and teaser scenes of this film have created a mixed mood among the fans.
Beyond all this, fans wish to break the previous trend and return to the screens with a vibrant Vadivelu. We will know tomorrow if this is done.
