Krish’s Vedam in Telugu with Allu Arjun, Manchu Manoj, and Anushka was remade in Tamil as Vaanam with the same man at the helm and starring Silambarasan, Bharath, and Anushka. This film explored the lives of five people who have nothing to do with each other and how when their paths cross it results in an almost cataclysmic explosion that leaves them with their lives changed forever.

STR was the scene stealer in this film. Together with Santhanam, he had the viewers hanging on to his every word, gesture, and emotion. Anushka as the feisty prostitute also came in for a fair share of praise.

Trade talk: The collections for Vaanam were very encouraging. STR, the fantastic music particularly the Yevan di unna pethan track, Santhanam’s comedy, and the unusual handling of the plot were believed to be the major factors that worked for the film.

Public opinion: STR’s popularity is undeniable ever since he embarked on a whole new journey as an actor since VTV. Whatever he is doing it seems to be working and the fans especially the youngsters are crazy about him. This explains why his films create so much interest.
