Vadivelu is "jobless"!!

The star comedian, it seems, is out of work now. He has no films on hand, after 'Villu'.

The sudden reversal in fortunes has allegedly been brought about by the steep hike in his fee and the curious time table he has for work.

The actor, who was getting paid Rs.6 lakh per day for his portions in films, has recently hiked his fee to Rs.9 lakhs per day. To top it all, his time table for his work, from 11:00 a.m. to 01:00 p.m. and from 03:00-06:00 p.m. had put directors under huge strain. They could not shoot his portions in time and the number of shooting days his wages spun out of control.

Many producers, at the end of their tether with the kind unreasonable demands by the star comedian, are ignoring him, say our sources.
