Chennai, Aug 8 — Actor Silambarasan alias Simbu has now joined the unit of director Vetrimaran's eagerly awaited action entertainer 'Arasan' for the next schedule of the film.
Producer Kalaippuli S Thanu, whose V Creations is producing the film, took to his X timeline to announce the development.
Posting a picture of Vetrimaran directing Simbu on the sets of the film, the producer wrote, "Arasan Back in Action! #VetriMaaran @SilambarasanTR_@VijaySethuOffl @anirudhofficial #SilambarasanTR @iYogiBabu @VelrajR @RIAZtheboss #ARASAN."
Sources say that the current schedule's shoot is happening at a popular studio in Chennai. "An action sequence in currently being shot," a source close to the actor informed IANS.
The source also said that portions involving actors Priyanka Arul Mohan and Vijay Sethupathi were to be shot during this schedule.
It may be recalled that the previous schedule, which had gone on for almost two months and which had concluded in June this year, had been a really challenging one for the unit.
The previous schedule had been shot entirely at night and actor Simbu, who had been continuously shooting at night from April 25, heaved a sigh of relief when it ended.
In fact, Simbu, in an update, had disclosed that he had been shooting continuously for over two months at night for director Vetrimaran's eagerly awaited action entertainer 'Arasan'. The actor, in a light hearted manner, had lamented that the gruelling schedule had left his circadian rhythm "officially confused".
The unit of the film had wrapped up its first schedule, which was going on at Kovilpatti, on December 21 last year.
The film has triggered huge expectations for a number of reasons. Firstly, it is the first time that Simbu and ace director Vetri Maran are working together. Next, the film is being produced by one of Tamil cinema's top producers Kalaipuli S Thanu. What has added to the excitement is that the makers recently announced that actor Vijay Sethupathi had been roped in for the project.
Vetrimaran's film with Simbu will also feature Vijay Sethupathi, Priyanka Arul Mohan, Samuthirakani, Andrea Jeremiah and Kishore in key roles. Music for the film is being scored by Anirudh.
