What happened to STR’s Maanadu?

Even before the completion of Vantha Rajavathaan Varuven, producer Suresh Kamatchi had mentioned that the shooting of ‘Maanadu’ will take off exactly on the birthday of STR. However, it looks like things have seemingly gone out of plans now. The film is directed by Venkat Prabhu, which is reported of being a political thriller. The film was reported of having Telugu superstar Mohan Babu playing the negative role whereas Keerthy Suresh was on talks to play the female lead. Nonetheless, there haven’t been any updates involving this project. On the other hand, STR’s other film with Gautham Vasudev Menon and AR Rahman is also likely to go on floors by middle of this year. Who knows? STR has been offering us surprises and he would have already kick-started the shoot with everything kept under wraps.
