Apart from releasing one of the biggest hits this year Vada Chennai, Vetrimaaran and Dhanush have also made successful films like Polladhavan and Aadukalam, with the latter winning a National Film Award for best feature film.

The expectations are high as the duo has a near perfect record. Over the years, Vetrimaran has cemented his place in the Tamil film industry as a reputed director and has won four National Film Awards.

Now Danush has come up with an exclusive updates about the film. The first tweet which was posted by him yesterday said that the film is going on floors from January 26.
