Vijay Sethupathi’s Four Upcoming Movies!
After the critically acclaimed success of Baththa, it seems like actor Vijay Sethupathi has more than 4 releases in a very short period, starting from Train, which is scheduled for a worldwide theatrical release on December 4th.
Even though Baththa ended up as an average performer in theatres, Vijay Sethupathi’s performance in the film won the hearts of the audience and it has a huge reach on OTT. Consequently, audiences and critics are now curiously awaiting Vijay Sethupathi’s upcoming films.
Vijay Sethupathi has already completed shooting for 3 films, which are Train directed by Mysskin, Pocket Novel directed by Thiagarajan Kumararaja, and the bilingual film Slumdog: 33 Temple Road directed by Puri Jagannadh.
He is currently starring as the lead in the romantic film Inji Vellam directed by Mani Ratnam and according to reports, the shooting of this film is now nearing its final stages.
Recently, the makers of Train and Pocket Novel announced the release dates of their films. While Train is releasing on December 4th, Pocket Novel is gearing up for a theatrical release on January 14th as a Pongal special.
On the other hand, although the shooting of Slumdog: 33 Temple Road was already completed a few months ago, due to unfinished OTT business, the release date of the film is on hold. Sources suggest that final negotiations are happening with Amazon Prime Video and if the deal is closed in a few weeks, the film might have its theatrical release by February or March of 2027.
Meanwhile, the Inji Vellam team is planning to release the film in April 2027. Subsequently, it is almost evident that Vijay is going to have 4 releases in just 6 months
In response to these back to back release plans of Vijay Sethupathi, many Kollywood audiences are suggesting that among these 4 films, only Pocket Novel looks promising, whereas the remaining 3 films do not look solid.
This is because they note that Vijay Sethupathi received huge recognition for Super Deluxe, which was his previous collaboration with Thiagarajan Kumararaja, whereas the directors of the remaining 3 films Mysskin, Puri Jagannadh, and Mani Ratnam are now out of form and their last films ended up as failures. Hence, they claim that apart from Pocket Novel, the remaining films do not look interesting.
At the same time, trade experts suggest that Vijay Sethupathi is repeating the same mistake he made a few years ago. They note that a few years ago, Vijay Sethupathi had around 6 to 7 releases in a single year, because of which most of his films went unnoticed and he even reached a saturation point at the time, but he later rectified this, starting from Maharaja by maintaining a proper gap between each film.
However, they feel that it now seems the actor is repeating the same mistake again and he should plan wisely with a proper time gap before accepting to act in a film.
Ultimately, it remains to be seen whether all 4 of these films will be released as planned and which film will emerge as a huge success, helping him elevate his market upon their release.
