Producer P L Thenappan commenced Vallavan almost a year ago. Besides playing the lead role, Silambarasan also took the mantle of directing the movie.

Unfortunately the movie could not be completed on time and still Simbu has to shoot a major portion of the movie.

The actor meanwhile ventured to act in a movie Saravana directed by K S Ravikumar which got released this Pongal.

With Silambarasan now taking a break to campaign for his dad T Rajendar who is contesting in Mayiladuthurai, the shooting has been further delayed.

Thenappan is reportedly awaiting Simbu's return to complete the movie soon and have it released at the earliest.

Vallavan features Nayantra, Reema Sen and Sandhya in the lead roles. Music is by Yuvan Shankar Raja.

The latest buzz is that Yuvan has recorded a song sung by T Rajendar for the movie which would be shot by Silambarasan after the elections.
