Poda Podi release on Feb 14, 2012 for the Valentine’s Day.

Silambarasan shows keen interest over offering chances to his close pals to wield the megaphone and now Vignesh Shivan is the lucky one to bag it. Making his debut directorial with the film ‘Podaa Podi’, the director is sure that the film will show Silambarasan in a different dimension as the script is so fresh and new.

About the buzzes that the film is based on Hollywood flick ‘Step Up’, he denies them as baseless rumour. The film marks the debut of Sarath Kumar’s daughter Varalakshmi in female lead role while VTV Ganesh performs an important role.

Shooting is almost done and the entire team is simultaneously working on production and dubbing works so as to wrap up the entire project by mid of January as plans are made to release in on Feb 14, 2012 for the Valentine’s Day.
