This campaign is being carried out on a website named www.artistuniteindia.com on which about 103 directors have registered their stance now.

The reason these filmmakers are now coming together for this particular campaign is to bring to light the inefficient policies that were Narendra Modi that have affected the people of India.

National Award-winning director Vetrimaaran recently in an exclusive interview opened up in detail about his upcoming Vada Chennai starring Dhanush saying the film is directed towards the life of people living in North Madras and his relation and love for the area and locality, which eventually gave him the idea to develop a script.

During the interaction, Vetrimaaran further added that the city has given him everything in life and he believes that the people of Chennai share a special bond with him and says Vada Chennai is a reflection into his life in the city and the film will be a connection of his life in North Madras.

The ace director believes the gangster action drama is Dhanush’s best performance till date and will be a film that gets rid of all the misconceptions people generally have about North Madras.

Hitting screens on October 17, VadaChennai produced by Wunderbar Films in association with Lyca Productions and music by Santhosh Narayanan includes Aishwarya Rajesh and Andrea Jeremiah as the female leads alongside Ameer, Samuthirakani, Daniel Balaji, Kishore, Pavan among others in supporting roles.

After Visaaranai, which is an onscreen adaption of the popular novel Lock Up, looks like award-winning director Vetrimaaran is planning to adapt another high intense novel on screen. Going by the reports, the director has acquired the rights of 'Vaadivaasal,' a book by popular writer CS Chellapa that gives an in-depth insight of the age-old Jallikattu sport in Tamil Nadu.

More details awaited.
