Actor Silambarasan T. Rajendar, lovingly called by fans as STR, is looking fully focused on his upcoming political entertainer film, Maanaadu, under Venkat Prabhu’s direction. To be produced by Suresh Kamatchi’s V House Productions banner, Kalyani Priyadarshan was announced to be playing the female lead with shooting set to kick off soon. 

It must be noted Simbu has also been announced to be part Studio Green's next film tentatively titled STR 45 alongside Gautham Karthik, which will be directed by debutant Narthan, who went on to carve a niche of his own in Kannada cinema.
