Simbu underwent massive physical transformation training and it is noticeable from the teaser that he has worked hard to achieve the transformation.

Best known for helming films such as Naan Mahan Alla and Pandinaadu, Susienthiran hasn’t tasted success in a long time. His last few directorial projects have turned to be damp squibs.
Meanwhile, Simbu also has Maanaadu in the pipeline. Directed by Venkat Prabhu and produced by Suresh Kamatchi under V house productions, the film has STR and Kalyani Priyadarshan in the lead. The film also has Bharathiraja, SJ Suryah, Karunakaran, Premgi Amaren and Daniel Anne Pope as part of its cast. Yuvan Shankar Raja is the music director of Maanaadu. The team resumed its third schedule on Monday in Pondicherry. Simbu took to Twitter to announce that he’s joining the sets in Pondicherry and that he plays a character called Abdul Khaaliq.
Simbu's another project that’s in the works is the Tamil remake of Kannada blockbuster Mufti which also stars Gautham Karthik in the lead. The film's director Narathan had opted out of the project due to various reasons and as per reports, Krishna of Sillunu Oru Kadhal fame has replaced Narathan as the director. However, there are also reports that the project has been shelved.
