Vadivelu opts out of Pei Mama, makers approach Yogi Babu

Recently, an animated poster of Vadivelu’s upcoming film, Pei Mama, was doing the rounds on social media. While his fans were quite excited about the actor’s comeback flick, reports surfaced that the first look poster is fake.

The makers also revealed that they are yet to finalise on Vadivelu’s look in the film and what we saw in the poster was not final.

Now, it looks like, all is not well between Vadivelu and the makers of the film, as the former has decided to opt out of the project. A source close to the actor said, “Vadivelu does not want to be part of this project as he had creative differences with the makers. An official announcement will be made soon regarding the same.”


We also hear from reliable sources that the director of the film, Shakthi Chidambaram, is currently in talks with Yogi Babu to replace Vadivelu’s character in the film. When we contacted the director to confirm it, he said, “It’s true that talks are on with Yogi Babu. But I can’t comment anything on it as it is too early. We will announce the official cast and crew in the coming days.” Vadivelu was also in the news for his differences with the makers of Imsai Arasan 24am Pulikesi during several occasions of shoot. He was even accused of his intervention in every department of the film, forcing the makers to drop the project.
