South Indian actor Vijay Sethupathi celebrates his birthday today. Fans and friends wished him on the occasion of his birthday. Vijay Sethupathi is one of the stars who would never step back to experiment with his roles in the films. He loves to do something out of the box. His character in super Deluxe is one such thing. He essayed the role of a trans woman in Super Deluxe. He begged the director for that role and told him that there is no need to pay him any money.
In an interview with Film Companion, Vijay Sethupathi said, “When he narrated the script, I liked it so much. The way it was written was so awesome.” He also said that, “In one scene, my kid asks me why I was not born as a female. That scene was written so well that I decided that I don’t want to miss this film. I begged the director, told him that you don’t need to pay me any money. On first day, I think it took 50-60 takes. Then finally, I realised the female inside me. I got the confidence.”
Vijay Sethupathi started his career as a background artist and now he is one of the most sought after actors in the south Indian film industry. He admires Sivaji Ganesan, MGR and Kamal Haasan. On the professional front, Vijay Sethupathi will be seen in Kaathu Vaakula Rendu Kaadhal in which Samantha and Nayanthara will be seen in the lead roles.
