Latest is that Rana Daggubati, who is supposed to do his Tamil debut, will not after all be in the movie.
According to sources close to the director Rana willingly opted himself out of the project for reasons best known only to the director and him. Rana himself, however, was not available for comment.
Vada Chennai has Silambarasan in the lead and is produced by Dhayanidhi Alagiri's Cloud Nine Movies. Andrea Jeremiah and Divya Spandana play the female leads in Vada Chennai.
With Rana having opted out of Vada Chennai, Vetri Maaran and crew are now scouting for another actor to fill in the shoes of the character sketched for the script.


When the role was narrated to Divya, she was very excited as she loves the national award winning director's style of film making.
The actress is the reigning Queen of the Kannada film industry and she has made an impact in Tamil with her outings in films like Vaaranam Aayiram and Singam Puli.
Divya is trying to find the dates for Vada Chennai and if all works out an offical announcement will be made soon.
Andrea and Rana Daggubati have already been finalized for key roles in this film.


Radhika Kumaraswamy's return to films this year has been as sudden as her decision to give it all up at the peak of her career. But she's elated to be back in showbiz, albeit as a producer, with her maiden venture Lucky starring Divya Spandana and Yash.
Following this, Radhika has decided that acting is still her passion and has agreed to face the arch lights once again despite having a family to look after.

In her debut film, Vaaranam Aayiram, Divya Spandana gets Suriya. In Asal, she was part of a two heroine project with Bhavana, so she had limited screen time with Ajith. Then in Nadunissi Naigal, her boyfriend gets killed by a psychopath who is obsessed with her.
Sameera up next has Vettai with Arya and Maddy next, but that is also a two heroine project where she shares screen space with Amala Paul.
But finally, it seems her luck has changed and she will be seen opposite Vishal in Vedi which is her first solo heroine project. Besides, everybody is saying that they make a great couple as they are both tall and have dusky good looks.
Divya Spandana made waves when she brought her boyfriend along during her stint as one of the celeb ambassadors for Royal Challengers Bangalore.
She was upfront about the whole thing and admitted that she was seeing Raphael, a Swiss - German business man. Press hounds immediately started speculating about whether she will quit acting and settle down.
The actress refuted these rumors and said that she was not ready for marriage and wanted to achieve more things in the cinema world. She said marriage will happen in good time and in the meantime she is going to focus on the three films in her kitty.
The Vaaranam Aayiram star added that she has adopted a baby squirrel called Chipkoo and it is like her own child. Hopefully, we will see more of her in Tamil films.
PETA, are you listening??
Divya Spandana was spotted with a foreigner at the IPL cricket match recently, setting the tongues in the tinsel town wagging. There is also a talk going on that Divya is likely to marry this foreigner and their wedding will take place later this year.
Sources close to Divya say that the foreigner is Robert Ruperrcht, who is into export business in Switzerland. The actress has neither confirmed nor denied her relationship with Robert till now.
Divya, a Kannada actress, has also acted in several Tamil films including Vaaranam Aayiram, Kuthu and Singam Puli.
Divya Spandana became a member of the Youth Congress recently. The actress’s move surprised many but insiders say that with her family being in politics this is not something unanticipated. Divya, on the other hand, says that there is no point talking about corruption when we are not able to do anything about it.
The actress pointed out that she would join Anna Hazare’s movement to fight corruption. On joining the Congress party, Divya said that it does not mean she would enter politics full time. It is expected that she would meet Rahul Gandhi on April 21st when he is scheduled to visit Bengaluru.
Actress Divya Spandana, who recently announced that she was quitting Kannada films for good, has now gone for a change of heart. The actress had been in the middle of a running battle with Kannada producer Ganesh, who incidentally produced her latest film ‘Dandam Dashagunam’.
Trouble started when Divya skipped the audio launch of ‘DD’ and was reprimanded for the same and consequently ‘banned’ by the Karnataka State Film Chamber of Commerce. This made Divya fume and cry foul. She said that Ganesh owed her some amount which he hadn’t returned within the stipulated time.
“Instead of helping me recover the money from the producer, KFCC had erred in banning me. I’m quitting Kannada films for good,” Divya had said a few days back.
However the Karnataka Film Chamber of Commerce (KFCC) lifted its one-year ban on Divya on Thursday after the producer Ganesh cleared dues of the actress. In a meeting at the residence of veteran actor Ambareesh, Ganesh cleared dues of Divya and both shook hands. Now, Ramya can act in Kannada movies, and there is no ban on any artiste to act in films produced by Ganesh.Following this, in a social networking site, the actress has recorded yesterday that she was withdrawing her decision to ‘quit’ as she had got her money back and also due to the fact that her fans had urged her in through ‘Twitter’ to continue to act in Kannada films.
She has a couple of her films releasing in a month’s time from now. Divya, grand-daughter of Union Foreign Affairs minister S.M. Krishna, aspires to become a film producer very soon and assures that she would obviously be playing the lead role in the film produced under her home banner.
