Following the back to back failures of Gandhi Talks and Kadhal Kadhai Sollava, Vijay Sethupathi is currently working as the lead in Pocket Novel. The film is directed by Thiagarajan Kumararaja. The project has already generated curiosity among fans.
Amid this, strong speculation suggests that Vijay Sethupathi may soon collaborate with director Magizh Thirumeni for a thriller film. Reports indicate that the shoot could begin shortly. The project is also expected to be mounted on a massive budget.
According to reports, Shraddha Kapoor is likely to play the female lead in this film. Bollywood actor Sanjay Dutt is also expected to appear in a crucial role. The combination has already sparked discussion among cinema followers.
Apart from this project, Vijay Sethupathi is also set to work in a romantic film directed by Mani Ratnam. He will also appear in an important role in Vetrimaaran’s Arasan. These projects have added significant weight to his upcoming lineup.
The actor has also completed filming for Mysskin’s Pisasu 2. In addition, he has finished shooting for a Hotstar original film titled Kaatan, directed by M Manikandan. Both projects are expected to release soon.
Reacting to this lineup, many netizens believe Vijay Sethupathi could be preparing for a major comeback. They point to his Telugu film Slum Dog – 33 Temple Road directed by Puri Jagannadh. The reported film with Shraddha Kapoor has also added to this excitement.
Some observers feel these large scale projects suggest that Vijay Sethupathi may be targeting the Pan-Indian market. If the films release at the right time with proper gaps, they believe the actor could strengthen his position in Indian cinema.
However, some fans recall that during 2021 and 2022 Vijay Sethupathi worked on too many films simultaneously. At times, two of his movies even released within the same week. Many of those films failed at the box office.
After 2023, the actor appeared to slow down and became more selective with scripts. He acted in only one or two films a year. Now, his large lineup has made some fans worry that he may repeat the same mistake.
Because of this concern, some netizens are advising Vijay Sethupathi to focus only on strong scripts. They feel choosing quality projects will benefit his career more than doing multiple average films.
Ultimately, the success of these films will determine the outcome. If the projects shape up well and perform strongly at the box office, Vijay Sethupathi could reclaim his market and deliver a strong comeback.
