Yogalakshmi set for major role in Vetri Maaran’s Arasan
The buzz surrounding director Vetri Maaran’s next magnum opus, Arasan, continues to escalate as actress Yogalakshmi officially joins the star-studded ensemble.
Known for her breakout performances in the web series Heart Beat and the film Tourist Family, Yogalakshmi was recently spotted on the filming sets in Kovilpatti alongside Silambarasan TR (STR) and Vijay Sethupathi.
While specific details of her character remain under wraps, her appearance in traditional attire in viral behind-the-scenes photos suggests a significant, grounded role within the film’s gritty narrative.
For the young actress, this inclusion marks a major career milestone, placing her in the hands of a filmmaker renowned for extracting career-best performances from his cast.
Arasan serves as a spiritual extension of the acclaimed Vada Chennai universe, exploring an “untold tale” from the North Chennai underworld that Vetri Maaran had originally envisioned for Silambarasan years ago.
Produced by Kalaipuli S. Thanu under the V Creations banner, the project is a massive collaboration featuring music by Anirudh Ravichander, marking his first-ever partnership with Vetri Maaran.
With Andrea Jeremiah already confirming the return of her iconic character “Chandra” and Vijay Sethupathi taking on a pivotal role, the addition of Yogalakshmi adds further intrigue to what is shaping up to be one of the most anticipated Tamil films of 2026.
