Vaigai Puyal Vadivelu one of the most iconic comedy stars ever in Tamil cinema history has been in a hiatus for the better part of the past decade.  He was also involved in a long legal tussle with director Shankar over the now dropped 'Imsai Arasan 24aam Pulikesi' directed by Chimbudevan.

A few weeks earlier Vadivelu announced that all the issues have been sorted out and the red card imposed on him by the Producers Council has been lifted.  His first movie after that is 'Naai Sekhar Returns' directed by Suraaj which is expected to go on floors before the end of the year.

Now the hot buzz in Kollywood is that director Mari Selvaraj has approached Vadivelu to play an important character in his new movie that will have Udhayanidhi Stalin and Fahadh Faasil in the lead.  The sources say that the ever favorite comedian has given his nod and the official announcement will come in December.  Stay tuned.
