This is the only franchise where the door is always open whether you want to write, direct, act, or compose. While the title and the audience remain our constant pillars, the faces in front of and behind the camera will always represent the next generation of cinema. Driven by your overwhelming response and suggestions, we are thrilled to announce: Vaazha 3 – Biopic of a Billion Girls."
