Ten days after 2025 began, Kollywood has witnessed two releases, Madraskaaran and Vanangaan. Vanangaan clashed with Madraskaaran on January 10. The upcoming Tamil action film initially had Suriya in the leading role. However, he was replaced by Arun Vijay who is now shouldering the movie alongside actress Roshini Prakash.
Vanangaan Grosses At Rs 50 Lakh On Day 1 In Tamil Nadu
Directed by Bala, Vanangaan grossed Rs 50 lakh on the first day of its release in Tamil Nadu markets. The Tamil film witnessed a slow start in its home state. Arun Vijay and Roshini Prakash-starrer is expected to grow its business during the Pongal weekend.
The much-hyped film can flourish in Tamil Nadu, provided it receives strong word-of-mouth from the audience.
Vanangaan vs Madraskaaran vs Game Changer vs Fateh
Not just Madraskaaran, Vanangaan is also competing with Game Changer and Fateh at the Indian box office. S Shankar’s helmer, Game Changer stars Ram Charan and Kiara Advani. Sonu Sood’s directorial debut, Fateh features the actor himself and Jacqueline Fernandez.
Change In Casting And Production Duties
Produced under the banners of B Studios and V House Productions, Vanangaan was tentatively titled as Suriya 42. The project was announced on March 8. 2022 and initially supposed to star Tamil actor Suriya. However, he withdrew from the project after changes in the storyline. Suriya was earlier backing the film under his production house, 2D Entertainment.
This would have been the third collaboration of Suriya and Bala. They previously worked together in the 2001 film Nandhaa and the 2003 movie, Pithamagan.
Director Bala then chose Arun Vijay for the lead role and took over the production responsibilities along with Suresh Kamatchi.
Vanangaan also features P. Samuthirakani, John Vijay, Mysskin, and Radha Ravi in crucial roles.
