Vadivelu, who is lying low for the past one year and more, is eyeing a big comeback. The actor is all set to play the lead role in a sequel to his blockbuster 'Imsai Arasan 23am Pulikesi'.

"Without making much buzz, the comedian is busy with preliminary works related to the project. He will make an official announcement once everything falls in place," sources said.

Besides the sequel to 'Pulikesi', there are two other projects too in the pipeline, it is said. "But Vadivelu is in no hurry and is measuring his steps," sources added.

Vadivelu, who was ruling the roost in Tamil cinema till the first quarter of 2011, was not roped in for any new project after the DMK for which he campaigned in the Assembly elections suffered a big defeat.
