Suriya's long awaited magnum opus 'Vaadivaasal' directed by Vetrimaaran and produced on a grand scale by Kalaipuli S Thanu has kickstarted today in the East Coast Road in Chennai with a test shoot.  We broke the news earliest to you that "Jallikattu" bulls from all over the state have been brought to the capital among which the ones needed for the film will be chosen.

The photos from the shooting spot show that a "Jallikattu" ground from Keezhapatti has been recreated with a board in which "Vaadivaasal" is written in Tamil.  Huge cranes holding cameras are in operation while Suriya and Vetrimaaran are seen involved in the proceedings with the intensity they both are known for.

'Vaadivaasal' will go on floors later this year after Suriya completes his film with Bala and Vetrimaaran wraps up 'Viduthalai' starriing Soori and Vijay Sethupathi.  The film is said to star Ameer in a major role with G. V. Prakash Kumar scoring the music and Velraj handling the camera.
