Vijay Sethupathi Faces Backlash for Silence on Nayanthara Rowdy Dhaan!

Often praised as one of Tamil cinema’s most talented performers, Vijay Sethupathi is at the center of a controversy that is reverberating across the business like a well-timed joke. His silence over the controversy surrounding Nayanthara’s Netflix movie “Nayanthara: Beyond the Fairy Tale” is the reason for the subsequent backlash against him. His decision to keep quiet has left both supporters and detractors perplexed, wondering if he is playing a calculated game or just not seeing the signal to speak up in a world where every word has the potential to start a fire.

The main point of contention is that Nayanthara used footage from their joint movie “Naanum Rowdy Dhaan,” which infuriated co-star Vijay Sethupathi. Sethupathi’s lack of participation in the discussion feels like a comic who takes the stage but forgets their set, even if Nayanthara has bravely addressed the issue. Fans wonder why “Naanum Rowdy Dhaan”‘s title character is not responding to what many see to be a disrespect to their common cinematic heritage. His quiet stands in stark contrast to the demands made on prominent individuals to participate in debates and make their positions clear.

Silence may be as loud as a clarion call in the entertainment industry, as this case demonstrates. Celebrities are frequently expected to take sides, and when they don’t, fans may get disappointed and speculate. Sethupathi’s decision to remain silent could be interpreted as a calculated move, similar to a stand-up comedian who chooses to pause unexpectedly to keep the audience guessing. This tactic could backfire, too, if supporters take it to mean that he does not care for or support his colleagues.

In conclusion, even though Vijay Sethupathi is being cautious when negotiating these rough seas, it is impossible to help but wonder whether he is holding out for the ideal opportunity to inject his own humorous spin on the events. After all, timing is crucial in both comedy and the film industry. Maybe he is simply waiting for the right moment to make this disagreement into a joke that makes everyone laugh—after all, if you are not careful in this business, you might end yourself in someone else’s joke!

Kalki 2: Not in Near Future At All!

While it was always expected that Kalki would be a huge deal for Prabhas, the film exceeded expectations at the box office and went on to become a Rs 1000 crore grosser. Usually, when there is a 1000 crore grosser at the box office, the director and hero are determined to make the sequel.

But in the case of Kalki, the exact opposite is happening as both Nag Ashwin and Prabhas have started to trek on completely different routes. While Nag is busy with the scripting for the second part which is likely to take another year or two based on his work rate, Prabhas is busy with other films.

Prabhas has Raja Saab which is already in the making while the film with Sandeep Reddy Vanga – Spirit is also in the horizon and is bound to happen in the near future. We then Hanu Raghavapudi’s ongoing Fauzi as well. Prashanth Neel’s Salaar 2 also might happen in the future. By the looks of it, Prabhas’s calendar is completely full for the time being and he doesn’t have many free dates at the moment.

This makes it clear that Nag Ashwin might have to wait for a fair amount of time if he intends to make Kalki 2 with Prabhas. The chances are that he might be vacant for shootings only towards the latter half of 2026 which is rather a fair way away from now.
