Thalaivan STR ‘Vaanam’ is ready to see day break. The film has a wider ensemble with Bharath, Anushka, Vega, Prakash Raj, Sonia Agarwal and Saranya in supporting roles. The film’s music is doing well with the youth, thanks to Yuvan’s peppy numbers. A couple of songs have been crooned by Simbu.

With his work completed in ‘Vaanam’ Str is now concentrating on ‘Podaa Podi’ which will be a romantic comedy. This film seems to be completely under the whims of Simbu and sees Vignesh Shiva in the director’s chair. The story too has been penned by Vignesh. But simbu seems to have a special interest in this film and is giving his hundred percent to this project say sources close to the actor.

The film sees Varalaxmi Sarathkumar, daughter of Sarath Kumar debuting as heroine with this film. The songs will be taken care of by Dharan. This film too will have a couple of songs with STR voice to it. The music track has six song tracks with a song by singer-actress Andrea, indicate sources. There is also another important aspect in this film. Director Gautham Menon will appear in a cameo in ‘Podaa Podi.’ Looks like the friendship of Gautham and STR has been carried forward even post their involvement in ‘Vinnaithandi Varuvaya.’

With STR involvement the director will have no other go but to bend to the whims and fancies of the actor who also has some knowledge in film making. The actor will be leaving to Spain today with the ‘Podaa Podi’ team. The film began shooting towards the end of last year with a few portions with the lead stars shot in London.
