Arasan to begin shooting on December 8th after schedule roadblocks resolved
After resolving scheduling hurdles, Silambarasan locks dates for Vetrimaaran’s gritty gangster drama Arasan, allowing the long-delayed project to begin filming next week.
After weeks of uncertainty, shooting of Arasan, the much-anticipated collaboration between director Vetrimaaran and actor Silambarasan TR, is finally set to go on floors on December 8th. The film, which had been stalled due to date-related complications, is now back on track following fresh clarity on the actor’s availability.
The project was initially expected to commence earlier, but Silambarasan’s prior commitments under another production house created a scheduling clash, putting Arasan on temporary hold. This delay fueled considerable speculation among fans and industry circles, with many wondering whether the project might face a prolonged pause.
Recent discussions between STR and the makers resolved the long-standing date conflict. With his earlier obligations now settled, the actor has officially allocated time for Arasan, allowing the team to lock December 8th as the start date. Preparations, including cast coordination, crew planning, and set arrangements, have been expedited to ensure a smooth launch.
Arasan marks Vetrimaaran’s first directorial venture with Silambarasan TR and is said to be a gritty gangster drama mounted on a significant scale. The film is expected to carry the director’s signature raw narrative style, with Silambarasan gearing up for a performance-heavy role set in the Vada Chennai universe.
With the production barrier now lifted, Arasan moves into its crucial filming phase. The renewed momentum has heightened expectations, positioning the project as one of Tamil cinema’s most awaited films in the coming months.
