Vetrimaran signs agreement for movie rights of ‘Vaadivasal’
The Hindu
Actor Suriya roped in for the lead role
‘Vaadivasal’, a novel by late writer C.S. Chellappa, is being made into a film by national-award winning director Vetrimaran and he has entered into an agreement with Kalachuvadu, the publisher of the novel and C. Subramanian, the son of Chellappa. The novel is about jallikattu, an ancient Tamil sport, and the taming of the bull ‘Kaari’ by Picchi, whose father Ambulithevan was gored to death by the bull. Vetrimaran, who earlier made writer Poomani’s novel ‘Vekkai’ into the award-winning Dhanush-starrer Asuran, has roped in Suriya for the lead role in the film. “I think this is the first time a proper legal agreement is reached between a publishing house and a film director,” said Kannan Sundaram of the Kalachuvadu, who secured the rights from the family of Chellappa.More Related News
