Director Vamshi Paidipally drops major hint about Varisu plot

While speaking to Cinema Vikatan, Director Vamshi Paidipally revealed that though Varisu is an out-an-out family entertainer, it's also so much more because when making a film for such a huge star like Thalapathy Vijay, he couldn't limit it to merely one genre, highlighting how it's always a tougher job for Indian filmmakers to mount such star vehicles and we couldn't agree more. He added that it's going to be an amalgamation of genres for everybody from little 6-year old kids to grandparents to love it. Dropping another hint, the filmmakers further said that the Rashmika Mandanna is going to have a meaty role as he wouldn't want to cast a heroine just for the heck of it.
