Happy birthday Vaibhav! The makers of Chennai City Gangsters unveiled a special poster of Vaibhav on the occasion of the Tamil actor’s birthday. The new poster features the actor sporting casual wear, while holding a wooden tool. He is seen standing in a room that has broken walls and floor. The messy backdrop, along with the swaggy pose of Vaibhav, hints at the film being an action comedy.  

Earlier a first-look poster and motion poster were unveiled by the makers, featuring all the cast of the film, seated together in a messy room. The title of the film is inspired by the song sung by Anirudh in the film Vanakkam Chennai. 

Vaibhav's role in Chennai City Gangsters

Jointly directed by Vikram Rajeshwar and Arun Keshav in their directorial debut, the upcoming film is an comedy flick revolving around a robbery. The film is set in Chennai and will take place in a span of 3-4 months, according to director Vikram. “I had read an article about an incident that happened abroad. Though the subject was serious, I wanted to put a humorous spin on it. Vaibhav will be playing the role of an average north Madras guy,” the director revealed.
