I agreed to Kathi Sandai because of Vadivelu:

Vishal, during the audio launch of Kaththi Sandai, revealed that Vadivelu was the reason for him to take up the film directed by Suraaj — “I agreed to play the lead protagonist in Kaththi Sandai for the sole reason that legendary Vadivelu sir is also part of the movie. When Suraaj approached me with the script, I mentioned to him that if they could convince Vadivelu and bring him onboard, I am also ready.”

The Avan Ivan actor showered praises on the comedian. “All my IPS friends and other government officials keep asking when KS would hit the theatres, as they are waiting to see Vadivelu! They always tell me that Vadivelu’s comedy scenes are stressbusters for an otherwise hectic day.”

Vishal and Vadivelu came together for the first time a decade ago in Thimiru, a blockbuster hit. Vishal added, “Our combination worked well. And again, during the recent Nadigar Sangam elections, Vadivelu anna was very supportive and our collaboration was fruitful. Now, I am confident that Kaththi Sandai will also be a sure shot hit.”

On his part, Vadivelu said, “People have been saying that Vadivelu is in hibernation. I am not. I was waiting for a script like Kaththi Sandai. Also, be it memes on WhatsApp or YouTube, comedy scenes on TV channels, only my humour scenes are being featured all the time. So, I am very much amongst the audiences.”
