Long awaited and highly anticipated Dhanush's gangster trilogy drama Vada Chennai has finally gone on the floors last month. The film is to be filmed in two parts over the course of a year, and the first part of the movie will likely hit the screens by early 2017.

The film will track 30 years in the life of a gangster from 1977 to 2007. The crew is currently shooting for the 1977 sequence.

For the first time in his career, Dhanush will be essaying dual roles in this film. Dhanush has set aside 200 days for the project, which will also feature Daniel Balaji and Pasupathy among others.
