Vadivelu, whose on-screen character Nesamani recently got viral, has opened up in a recent interview about his long-delayed project, the sequel to Imsai Arasan 23aam Pulikesi. The veteran comedian, in the interview, claims that he has ten films in the pipeline, but is unable to do them because of director Shankar and the Producer Council. 

Vadivelu also reveals that he plays three characters in the ill-fated Imsai Arasan 24aam Pulikesi, and wants to do them in his style, but the producer of the film, Shankar, and director Chimbu Deven aren't willing to take his feedback.  He also mentions that he doesnt want to indulge in any further talks with the council or Shankar, but is ready to give his dates and complete the film, if his suggestions are given due consideration.

Vadivelu was last seen on the big screen in Vijay's 2017 film, Mersal.
