Director Venkat Prabhu was announced to do a film with STR and the project was titled as Maanaadu. This political drama was revealed to be produced by Suresh Kamatchi. The title look poster of the film was also released in June 2018. However, the project didn't materialise as planned and took time to go on floors. It has been more than a year since there was any update on this film. A few weeks back, we had also reported that director Venkat Prabhu will move onto his next, a web series, starring Kajal Aggarwal and Vaibhav in the lead roles, for Hotstar digital streaming platform.

We also informed our readers that Maanaadu will be put on hold until that since there was no progress from Simbu's side. It has now been officially confirmed by the film's producer, Suresh Kamatchi. A press note has now been officially released which states that Maanaadu will not happen with Simbu, but with a different star in a new dimension.

The press note statement reads, "I am sharing a very disheartening news with you all. My dear brother, Simbu instigated me to produce this project and I thank him for that. I am someone who believes in making things happen at the right time. Despite trying our level best to make Maanaadu go on floors, things didn't happen as planned. Days passed, months passed, but there was no progress.

We couldn't start the project. I have no other option than deciding to drop this film with STR. My sweet friendship with him will continue. My heartiest thanks to his fans who have stood by my side all the while. Maanaadu will definitely happen in Venkat Prabhu's direction with a different star in a new dimension. Maanaadu will get a new perspective with a new lead." What is going to be STR's next plan of action? Well, only time has to answer.
