National award-winning filmmaker Vetrimaaran's highly anticipated film, Vada Chennai - a gangster trilogy drama featuring Dhanush - is progressing at a brisk pace.

According to sources, Andrea Jeremiah who will be playing a pivotal role in this film will start shooting for her role in September. Andrea is paired opposite Vijay Sethupathy who plays an extended cameo in the film.

The female lead for this project is yet to be finalised after Samantha left the project. Reports suggest that Amala Paul, who is already paired opposite Dhanush in VIP and also played the main role in Amma Kanakku, produced by Dhanush, is in talks for the role.

Vada Chennai will be based on 30 years between 1977-2007 in the life of a gangster from North Chennai. The film, which marks Dhanush's third collaboration with Vetrimaaran, is being produced by Dhanush's Wunderbar Films.
