Chennai, Nov 5: Actor-producer Vishal says the prime reason he agreed to be a part of forthcoming Tamil comedy \"Kaththi Sandai\" was the inclusion of veteran comedian Vadivelu in a comeback role.

Directed by Suraaj and co-starring Tamannaah Bhatia, \"Kaththi Sandai\" is slated for a November 18 release.

\"When Suraaj approached me with the offer, I told him if he can convince Vadivelu and bring him on board, I will do this film. I signed the project only when I was told Vadivelu had agreed to be part of the film,\" Vishal said at the film\'s audio launch.

Vishal had earlier worked with Vadivelu over a decade ago in Tamil film \"Thimiru\".

\"Our combination resulted in a hit in \'Thimiru\'. Earlier this year, when we worked together in the Nadigar Sangam elections and our collaboration once again clicked. I expect it to work again in \'Kaththi Sandai\',\" he said.

Talking about \"Kaththi Sandai\", Vishal said it\'s a quintessential Suraaj kind of entertainer.

\"We enjoyed working on the film. Audiences will love to see Vadivelu on screen and he has aced his role,\" he said.
