Karuppu VS D54 VS Arasan - April 2026

A possible clash of Karuppu VS D54 VS Arasan loading in April 2026 during Tamil New Year 2026. D54 will be likely postponed to Tamil New Year. The machete that STR is holding is the same machete that Senthil and Guna used to kill Rajan. My guess is Kumar (STR) is the long lost sibling of Rajan (Ameer) who is somewhere in India. After hearing the death news of Rajan, he takes the machete in his hands and would begin to kill all. Kumar then join hands with Anbu (Dhanush) and kill the remaining guys which will be Vadachennai 2. Powerful name for the currently most expected Tamil film. It’s set in the world of Vada Chennai, and is in a parallel timeline with Anbu’s story. Both characters (Anbu and Kumar) will meet together in VC2. The title is a great tribute to the Superstar film of the same name. Clean and simple. Interestingly, the literal meaning of Rajan is Arasan. Notice how the same knife that killed Rajan is now in STR’s hands. According to the original Vada Chennai script, he is likely playing a rugged college boy who is dragged into the world of North Madras after Rajan dies.

STR appears terrific in his vintage mullet hairstyle, and the retro outfit. The most commercial film of Vetrimaaran. The bound script has been finished and narrated to great responses. An Anirudh Musical + Samantha in talks.

The shoot of the film begins on October 16-17. This first schedule will consist of massive critical and action sequences for the product, and will feature many from the Vada Chennai cast. To inaugurate the launch of the schedule, the plan is to release the promotional video around then. It was submitted to the censor board recently, and is currently being reviewed over. The un-censored version has been shared to many industry folk (Ex. Ram, Harish Kalyan, Mysskin, Kavin, Mr. D, Dinesh, Samantha, Anurag Kashyap, etc), to terrific responses all over. Anirudh Ravichandar is mostly signed for the project, as GV Prakash was kicked out due to him asking for a massive salary. The second schedule of the film will feature romantic portions with the yet to be signed heroine. Samantha is the only actress in talks so far, with her liking the bound script, but not signing yet. The entire shoot will end during the end of January 2026, to the beginning of February 2026. The film is on track to be released April 17, 2026, which falls on Tamil New Years.
