Looks like Vadivelu is all set to give all comedians a run for their money. The actor, who has had the audience in splits every time he comes on screen, is said to be playing a near-hero like character in Pasupathy’s ‘Vedigundu Murugesan’.

Vadivelu is most known for his comic acts in many films with peculiar names, like Naai Sekar, Kaipulla, Telex Pandiyan and Arnold alias Ayyasamy. The next in the list will be Alert Aarumugam, a character he plays in the film ‘Vedigundu Murugesan’.

The film, which will hit screens on July 3, has Pasupathy in the lead along with Jyothirmayi. The flick is being directed by Moorthy, who says the movie is a serious film despite its funny title.

He also says Vadivelu’s role in very important in the movie and he will be there throughout on screen instead of having an exclusive comedy track. In fact he even has songs with the film’s heroine Jyothirmayi, says the director.
