Arun Vijay on ‘Vanangaan’ failure, praises Bala, stresses team effort in film’s commercial hit | Tamil Movie News
Arun Vijay, who recently starred in Dhanush’s ‘Idli Kadai’, admitted in a recent interview that director Bala‘s ‘Vanangaan’ did not perform as well as expected at the box office. He said that the Pongal 2025 release period was the reason for this, and that it affected the film’s commercial potential. A film like ‘Mission: Chapter 1’, released in 2024, was successful because it came between two big hits; but ‘Vanangaan’ is said to have not achieved the expected commercial success in that regard.
