Earlier, there were reports that Lingusamy's much-awaited multi-starrer Vettai, starring Madhavan, Arya, Sameera Reddy and Amala Paul, will grace theatres for Deepavali. But in an recent interview to a leading daily, director Lingusamy has said that the film will be released in December. "We have to shoot three songs and have some patchwork left for Vettai. We are looking to release it in December," Lingusamy was quoted as saying.

In this film, Madhavan will play the role of a lazy cop. The actor has reportedly put on weight and developed a paunch to suit the character perfectly.

The hit pair of Madhavan and Lingusamy comes together after nearly eight years post their blockbuster Run. Madhavan and Arya will appear as brothers in this film, which is currently progressing in and around Tamil Nadu. According to sources, the characterization of Maddy and his equation with his brother will be among the major highlights of Vettai.

Vettai is produced by Subhash Chandrabose and Lingusamy under their home banner Thirupathi Brothers. Nirav Shah is the cinematographer and Yuvan takes care of the music department.

Arya might do Ranbir's role in the Tamil version of the hit Hindi multistarrer 

Politics and films go hand-inglove in Tamil Nadu. And, politically-charged films have often created a stir in the state. Based on this, if rumours are to be believed, a Mumbai-based corporate is planning to remake the Bollywood superhit Raajneeti in Tamil. Arya is said to be the frontrunner to play Ranbir Kapoor's role in the Tamil version.

If the move comes through, the film could be among the biggest multistarrers in Tamil cinema as the original had big names like Ranbir Kapoor, Ajay Devgn, Nana Patekar, Katrina Kaif, Naseeruddin Shah and Arjun Rampal in the lead. The Kollywood names currently doing the rounds for the project are Madhavan, Arya, Sathyaraj, Prakash Raj, and Bharath. The studio is looking at big-name directors who can pull-off multistarrers, for Raajneeti. Shankar and Lingusamy seem to be the frontrunners for the project.

"But, there are doubts about Shankar signing on the project as he is currently doing a remake with Nanban and might not be keen on doing another remake immediately," says a source. On the other hand, chances are bright for Lingusamy, as the director's upcoming Vettai is being co-produced by the studio. "He has also inked a threefilm deal with them for his other productions which might land him this flick," adds the source.
