other political incidents, had to be shown and this may overshoot the proposed budget", hence he decided to make the sequel into a digital format. Vetrimaaran also revealed that he planned the first film into a web series instead of making into a feature. A prequel for the film titled Rajan Vagaiyara (), will be based on the life of Rajan's character in the film. He originally proposed it to make it as a web-series on late-October 2018, after Vada Chennai's release, saying that "I fell in love with Rajan’s character as I was writing. His is a very fascinating personality and at one point, I wanted to make a standalone film on Rajan. The prequel idea would do full justice to his character and give it more weight." In March 2021, it was reported that the proposed web-series is currently under production, and may begin soon after Vetrimaaran's completion in the projects Viduthalai and Vaadivaasal.
