Vijay Sethupathi to no longer share screen with other stars
Yes, you heard it correctly! Vijay Sethupathi gave up on the idea of doing films with other stars and gave vivid reasons for the same. During a recent interview with a well-known media forum, he said, "No, I think I’m fatigued by those kinds of films. This is because I’ve had some good and bad experiences in the Indian film industry." Proceeding further he gave his reasons as the actor thinks his efforts have always been undervalued every time he has done films with other stars. The unappreciated void made Vijay take his decision. "When you sign on a film with another star, you obviously know what you are signing on for in terms of the role. But sometimes no matter how hard you’ve worked and done well, there’s very minimal value given to this at the end of the day. Because you contribute to the film as much as the star but no one talks about it," he continued.
Further, the prolific star also opened up about giving up doing villain roles. While revealing that he chose not to opt for any negative roles further, he said that he does not want to be typecasted in the industry for doing similar roles. He said, "When you do multiple roles in the same space, then there are also limitations and comparisons to your earlier films and performances."
