To be made the V House Productions banner, there had been a lot of confusion among STR's fans for a long time as he had not taken part in the shooting for Maanaadu after production was announced to kick-off earlier this year; leading to a huge disappointment among the flamboyant star's fans. All eyes will now be on the Simbu, Venkat Prabhu and Yuvan Shankar Raja trio to deliver their Maanaadu to the masses, which will also include Kalyani Priyadarshan as the female lead lead and iconic Tamil director Bharathiraja in a major supporting role.
