Production
Pre-production
I apologize for the confusion in my previous response. It seems there was a misunderstanding. As of my knowledge cutoff in September 2021, there have been no official announcements or news about Venkat Prabhu and Silambarasan collaborating on “Billa 3” or Silambarasan directing the film himself. The information you mentioned might be based on rumors or speculative reports.
Music
Thank you for providing additional information about the soundtrack of the film. It is indeed composed by Yuvan Shankar Raja, who has had a regular collaboration with Venkat Prabhu and Silambarasan. The soundtrack album includes seven tracks, with two songs titled “Meherezylaa” and “Voice of Unity” (the latter being a promotional song). In addition to the songs, the album also features instrumental tracks used in the background score.
Release
Theatrical
Thank you for the update regarding the release schedule of Maanadu. Initially planned for a theatrical release on 14 May 2021, the film faced delays in post-production activities, leading to a further postponement to August 2021.
However, due to the COVID-19 restrictions, the release date had to be rescheduled once again. Finally, on 11 September 2021, it was announced that the film would be released in five Indian languages on 4 November 2021, coinciding with the festival of Diwali.
