On Monday, the team behind Bad Girl addressed the press at a press meet in Chennai. Along with director Varsha Bharath, producer Vetri Maaran, and lead actors Anjali Sivaraman, Hridhu Haroon, Shanthi Priya, and Teeja Arunasalam, director Mysskin was also present at the event.
After praising Varsha Bharath and Bad Girl, Mysskin also extended his speech to comment about Vetri Maaran’s long-under-development Vaadivaasal, with Suriya in the lead. He said he is excited to watch the film on the big screens and added, "After 60 years, Mani Ratnam had the opportunity to create Ponniyin Selvan. Likewise, Vetri Maaran, Suriya and Kalaipuli S Thanu had the same to create Vaadivaasal, another classic novel. I am eagerly waiting for the film to be released. It will be the greatest film in Vetri and Suriya's careers.”
Following Mysskin’s speech, Vetri Maaran took to the stage to give the filmmaker as well as the audience an update about the film. He said, “I am not able to reveal much about Vaadivaasal due to a couple of technical reasons. However, updates will roll in soon, in about 10 days.”
