The first single from Silambarasan TR's Maanaadu was released yesterday (June 21) and the song has opened to a very good response from the fans and music lovers. The song which is called 'Meherezylaa' is composed by Yuvan Shankar Raja and he has lent his voice for the song along with his sister Bhavatharini. Marking the release of the first single, the entire cast and crew of Maanaadu came together for a Twitter Spaces session and it was a fun interaction event. Silambarasan TR, during the Twitter Spaces session, talked about several interesting aspects and he was also sure that Maanaadu will be an important outing in his filmography.

Interestingly, during the session, the star actor revealed that it has been a year since he quit consuming alcohol. Talking about it, STR said, "Exactly on this day (June 21), last year, I quit alcohol and it feels good". On a funnier note, STR also added that he managed to stay out of alcohol despite acting alongside Premgi Amaren during Maanaadu's shooting. This exciting revelation from STR has surprised the fans and his words have already brought a sense of awareness among the fans and film buffs.

STR's transformation in the last year has been phenomenal and we saw a glimpse of it with his dedication towards Eeswaran. He completed the shooting of the film in just one month and he also shed a few kilos for the character. After starting to approach life in a spiritual way, his thoughts have also become more mature. It looks like his decision to quit alcohol consumption has made a lot of difference and let us hope to see the talented actor in many exciting projects in the coming years. STR's next release will be Maanaadu which is currently in the post-production stages.

The film is directed by Venkat Prabhu and features Kalyani Priyadarshan as the female lead. SJ Suryah plays the key antagonist in Maanaadu which is expected to release in theatres during the Aayudha Pooja festive weekend.
