From yesterday (February 17), news has been circulating in social media that reveal the roles played by STR, Vijay Sethupathi, Aditi Rao Hydari, Arvind Swami, Arun Vijay, Prakash Raj and Aishwarya Rajesh in Mani Ratnam's upcoming Chekka Chivantha Vaanam. The news also revealed the basic background of the film's plot.

When we contacted our sources close to the film to get to the bottom of this, we were informed that none of this information is true, and that the news is a baseless rumour.

Neither have the roles nor has the plot background been revealed officially.
