There were reports that director Sundar C has roped in Vadivelu for his next venture that would star Vimal and Mirchi Shiva in lead roles. But now sources say that it is unlikely.

Circles close to the director say Vadivelu was not considered at all. It may be recalled that Sundar and Vadivelu had worked together in films like Winner and Giri.

Vadivelu went into hibernation mode after he chose to campaign for the DMK in the Assembly elections. Recently, he claimed that he would make a comeback with a sci-fi film which would feature him in multiple roles.

"People still like me a lot. I will soon start my next innings which would be more interesting and powerful than my second innings. With the blessings and support of my fans, I would make it big again," he said.
