One of the most talented actors to make his presence felt among fans since the dawn of Tamil cinema, comedy legend Vadivelu has a rich and illustrious career spanning more than three decades. A powerhouse in comedy, 'Vaigai Puyal' as he is lovingly called by fans everywhere, Vadivelu has carved a niche for himself as a performer who can express and emote appropriately in accordance to the nature and requirement of a scene and the story in the films he has acted in. Known among the masses for his classic dialogues, he has been hailed as the content king for meme creators across who use scenes from his films to convey their opinions in a humorous manner.

Vadivelu's last major starring role was in the blockbuster 'Thalapathy' Vijay starrer Mersal released in 2017, with the celebrated comedy superstar then announced to be a part of Imsai Arasan 24am Pulikesi; the sequel to his 2006 cult historical comedy hit film, Imsai Arasan 23am Pulikesi. However, Imsai Arasan 24am Pulikesi failed to kick off and has since remained in a state of limbo, with fans waiting with bated breath for a long time to witness him in action on the big screen once again. Having said that, Vadivelu, who had last announced that he would be making an appearance in an OTT project soon, is now trending on social media once again after photos of the comedy superstar alongside notable Tamil industry stars came out.

Popular Tamil comedu actor Ambani Shankar shared a picture of himself with Vadivelu and Chaams at a function and captioned it as Padithurai Pandi and Co reaching terms of peace with Jewellery Shop owner, which is a classic throwback reference to a comedy segment from the film Karuppasamy Kuthagaitharar. Likewise, Manobala shared a photo of himself with Vadivelu and Madhan Bob and veteran Tamil filmmakers Santhana Bharathi and Gangai Amaren, with Chennai 600028 II Innings actress Anjena Kriti and husband-wife comedy duo Ganeshkar and Harathi too clicking selfies with the comedy legend. Vadivelu's last major public appearance was last year when he addressed media persons who had gathered at the Tiruchendur Temple.
