Gautam Menon confirms reuniting with Kamal Hassan for Vettaiyaadu Villayadu sequel

Filmmaker Gautham Vasudev Menon has confirmed that he is in talks with Kamal Haasan for the sequel to their highly successful Tamil cop thriller Vettaiyaadu Villayadu. Reports have emerged that Gautham has already narrated the script to Kamal and will meet him again soon to discuss the last draft of the script.

In his recent interview to The Hindu, Gautham has confirmed that Vettaiyaadu Villayadu 2 is in the works. Talking about the epic opening scene in the first part, Gautham said it is a fan’s tribute to Kamal. 

“I am a huge fanboy who wrote that scene even though the rest of the film was not like that, just for the audience to celebrate this man. You step aside from the filmmaker you are momentary. That was a fan’s tribute. Vettaiyaadu Villayadu 2 also has a similar opening scene and I’m really looking forward to shooting that,” Gautham said.

Vettaiyaadu Villayadu released in 2006 and turned out to be a blockbuster. The film featured Kamal in the role of DCP Raghavan, who hunts down two psychopathic serial killers. Even after 14 years, the film’s popularity and the love for the character Raghavan haven’t died down and fans are eagerly looking forward to the sequel.
