Later, Anurag, like many, urged Vetrimaaran to find a way to screen the extended version on a medium like Netflix. He wrote, “When i was in China and #vadachennai played there, i was told by the selectors that the 3 and a half hour version they saw was even better. Can we have the three and a half hour version exclusively on @NetflixIndia or somehow can we see that @VetriMaaran.”
Vada Chennai is an ambitious three-part film about Anbu, a carrom player who lives in north Madras and how his circumstances forced him into the world of gangsters. The film has music by Santhosh Narayanan and was produced by Dhanush’s home banner, Wunderbar Films.
