Blockbuster Tamil filmmaker Gautham Vasudev Menon has shared the first ever imagery/sketch of Silambarasan TR that was done for Vendhu Thanindhathu Kaadu. Although the concept art shows the actor's face from his younger days for reference, the look of his character at the beginning of the film is carved out in a nice and effective manner, thus setting the tone for his role in the gangster film. Gautham Menon posted the sketches of Simbu as Muthuveeran aka. Muthu on his Instagram Story, which gives fans a glimpse into the first visualization of the actor's character in Vendhu Thanindhathu Kaadu, with the team later hitting the bullseye with their final output in terms of the look for the actor in the film.. Check it out below:

Vendhu Thanindhathu Kaadu has turned out to be a phenomenal box office success racing away to the 50 crore mark in collections in the first four days and is also basking in critical glory. STR has delivered yet another power-packed performance as a youngster from humble beginnings in the Tuticorin district before going on to become a gangster in the Mumbai underworld. VTK marks the second consecutive occasion Simbu has hit the bullseye after his electrifying performance in last year's time-loop political entertainer Maanaadu and fans can't stop showering their love on him. 

Produced under Dr. Ishari K. Ganesh's Vels Film International banner, Vendhu Thanindhathu Kaadu is the third film Silambarasan and Gautham Menon have collaborated with Academy Award winner A. R. Rahman and he has reminded fans yet again why he is hailed as an iconic composer. The chart-buster music director's songs in the film have no doubt given a tremendous boost to the narrative, while he has also come up with a defining background score once again. Apart from STR, the film’s star cast also includes Siddhi Idnani playing the female lead Paavai, followed by Raadhika Sarathkumar, Neeraj Madhav, and Jaffer Sadiq, all of whom will be reprising their roles in Vendhu Thanindhathu Kaadu 2, which is expected to begin filming soon.
