My Roles Shouldn’t Hurt Anyone’s Feelings: Vijay Sethupathi

Makkal Selvan Vijay Sethupati’s 50th film ‘Maharaja’ turned out to be highly successful. It minted over 50 crores already and is going strong at the box office. The movie got a positive response in Telugu as well and he had something interesting to say regarding his choice of roles.

He says, “There are a lot of things. It depends on how the stories are told. People can tell any kind of story, but it should have ethics. Even the antagonist’s role should have some ethics.” He added that he doesn’t like to do a few roles even though they are portrayed as villains on the screen.

He added, “The role shouldn’t hurt anyone’s feelings. Actors and directors may have different opinions and emotions. But when you are making a film, you are making it for everyone. We need to work very carefully. For example, we shouldn’t support superstitions. Sometimes, we need to show the bad things to prove what is good. But here also some ethics should be involved.

Because cinema might influence people.” Currently, he is working on Vetrimaaram’s ‘Viduthalai Part 2’. He even did a silent film named ‘Gandhi Talks’. He is in talks with a lot of Telugu directors too and we need to see if he does any movie in Tollywood or not.
