Director Mari Selvaraj’s film ‘Maamannan’ is Udhayanidhi Stalin’s last film as an actor.
The Tamil Nadu Minister for Youth Welfare and Sports Development announced that the film would be his last in his acting career.
However, to make the film happen, Udhayanidhi had to make a request to both Chiyaan Vikram and Dhanush.
Mari Selvaraj was busy with the pre-production of Dhruv Vikram’s film, when he got a call from Udhayanidhi.
Talking to an online portal, Mari Selvaraj said, “Udhayanidhi sir called me and said that he was planning to stop working in films and shared his wish to do one last film. He said that he wanted me to do the project.”
He added,”The script for Dhruv’s film was finalised and I was about to begin the shoot in a month’s time. After that, I was supposed to begin my next project with Dhanush. I apprised Udhay sir about my situation and he said that he will talk to both of them. Both Vikram sir and Dhanush sir heeded his request.”
‘Maamannan’ stars Vadivelu, Udhayanidhi Stalin, Fahadh Faasil and Keerthy Suresh in the lead. The film has music by AR Rahman. The film is all set to hit screens in June.
