Vadivelu is that rare actor who has the ability to attract a small child to a senior citizen, an uneducated to a highly educated and breaks all barriers of caste, creed or economic backgrounds as far as his comedy is concerned. However, for the past few years, the ace comedian is embroiled in controversies especially for walking out of the Shankar produced 'Imsai Arasaan 24 aam Pulikesi'. It has been reported that all compromise talks have ended in failure and Vadivelu has also refused to pay compensation and rumours are that a red card has been issued on him by the Producers Council.

In a recent interview to a popular Tamil channel, Vadivelu has stated that by the end of September he will make an announcement regarding his new mega movie. The Vaigai Puyal also added that like anyone else he too is facing a couple of Saturns (Saithaan and Sanniyan in his words) here and there but will make his reentry in spite of them.
