Actor Vadivelu has been one of the popular comedians of Kollywood for the past few decades and of late he has been inactive after a ban, and is set to return to acting soon. Recently there were several reports that Vadivelu is going to join the ruling party BJP.

However following these reports Vadivelu has clarified it saying that it is a rumor and also revealing that he has no plans of a political entry. It must be noted that in 2011 Vadivelu campaigned for a political party during Tamil Nadu assembly elections, and since then has been away from politics.

As far as films are concerned, Vadivelu was last seen on screen in the 2017 Vijay starrer blockbuster Mersal and there are reports that Vadivelu might share screen space with Simbu in a movie directed by Mysskin.
