Actor Vaibhav who did not have a proper release in 2023 has begun this year with a bang. The RK Nagar star opened his account with Ranam Aram Thavarel and later played a supporting role in Vijay’s GOAT – The Greatest Of All Time. He is now gearing up for yet another release in the upcoming project christened Chennai City Gangsters in which he has depicted the lead part. Directors Vikram Rajeshwar, son of popular story teller K Rajeshwar, and Arun Keshav have penciled and crafted the drama. Actress Athulya Ravi of Murungakkai Chips fame has been cast as the pair.

Two minute trailer of Chennai City Gangsters begins with a gang headed by Anandraj inspecting a building where they are about to abduct a girl, on the spot he asks, “Would it be 2.5 to 3 grounds of land?” Another character adds, “How much does a ground cost here?” Everyone starts to put a number. Irked Vaibhav intrudes, “We are here to kidnap a girl. Not here to purchase land. Go Kidnap her.” The scene then cuts to actress Athulya Ravi asking Vaibhav, “Were not you ‘porikki’ Pandi in school?” Vaibhav denies, “Jenny, that was C Pandi.
