Chennai: After the differences between actor Vadivelu and director Shankar over Imsai Arasan 23am Pulikesi-II reached an amicable solution, Vadivelu is soon expected to make a comeback on big screens. The controversy started when Vadivelu as per the crew refused to cooperate during the shoot and brought revenue losses since the producer S Picture, run by Shankar, had to pay for the sets even on non-shoot days. The issue reached a peak when director Shankar in November 2017 filed a complaint against Vadivelu in Tamil Film Producers Council (TFPC).

According to reports, after three years Vadivelu and Shankar sorted out their indifferences after talks with the representatives and office bearers of TPFC. On the other hand, reports also said that the producer and actor reached a resolution since Vadivelu has been booked in a movie to be produced by Lyca Productions and the production house is also funding Shankar's Indian 2. Hence, Lyca Productions reportedly held talks between both the parties and reached mutual agreement, said Times of India. 

The differences started between Vadivelu and the film team after the actor demanded a hike in his pay and demanded the crew to change a song which was initially approved by him. He also reportedly refused to work with supporting actors fixed by the team and demanded the crew to give him his customer . It is also said that between August and November 2017, the crew only shot for 10 days but they paid the rent for the remaining days which forced Shankar to move to TFPC. 

However, now that Vadivelu’s comeback is a sure thing, there is still no clarity whether the sequel for Imsai Arasan 23am Pulikesi is still on cards.
