The name of Tamil actor Vadivelu, known for his slapstick comedy, got a slot among the top trending topics on Twitter all of a sudden on Wednesday.
And we found out why.
Vadivelu, who is also known as 'Vaigai Puyal', will be seen in the upcoming Tamil film Kaththi Sandai which has actor Vishal in the lead role. The movie will be directed by Suraj, who has done commercial movies like Mappillai, Alex Pandian and Sakalakala Vallavan.
Bagging a role in a movie is not reason enough to become a trending topic, you might think. But, it is quite a big deal as Vadivelu has done only three films in the last 5 years! We're talking about a comedian who used to do an average of 15 films a year.
#Vadivelu is back as comedian. To be part of Vishal's Kathi Sandai, to be directed by Suraj !!

It is no secret that Vadivelu, who campaigned for DMK in the 2011 Tamil Nadu elections, was forced to take a sabbatical from acting once the Jayalalithaa-led AIADMK came to power. The actor's last movie was the 2015 comedy Eli, which had him in the lead role.
When I saw this hash tag I thought he ll contest TN elections this time 😜#Vadivelu
