According to a report by Pinkvilla, actor STR has been working out heavily to get into shape for this film. The actor reportedly lost close to 20 kg and came down from a 100 kg to 79 kg, due to the demand of his role. There have been several reports about the actor following a strict workout schedule and diet to get into shape while he stays in London.

According to Pinkvilla, the film had previously been dropped by the makers as they had a few disagreements with STR. However, after major discussions over the past few months, the film was brought back on track. A few months ago, there had also been various speculations about the film being shelved due to the ongoing COVID 19 crisis.

However, the producers of Maanaadu cleared the rumours and took to Twitter to speak about their plans to start working on Maanaadu as soon as the COVID situation is under control. The film has been creating a lot of buzz amongst the Kollywood fans and is hence, expected to do well.
