There were lots of speculations that Ram Gopal Varma was interested in directing a movie starring Vijay Sethupathi as the lead. This news has been spreading like wildfire, as Ram Gopal Varma has a cult fan base for his old movies.
Vijay Sethupathi is one of the most versatile actors in Kollywood, not only in Kollywood but also in Indian cinema. But for the past few years, the film in which he acted as the lead didn’t perform well at the box office. On the other hand, the movies in which he acted in a supporting role or in a villain role were huge blockbuster successes. Although he was a good actor, this criticism was on his shoulders for the previous years, and this has finally been broken by Maharaja.
His 50th film, Maharaja, which was released a few weeks ago, has garnered 100 crores and joined the elite club. This movie gave Vijay Sethupathi a solid comeback. In a recent interview, he confirmed that he is going to do more films as a lead and won’t act in supporting roles.
He is now acting in a lead role in a movie named Train, directed by Mysskin. On the other hand, there was a strong industry buzz that Ram Gopal Varma was interested in directing a movie with Vijay Sethupathi in the lead. This buzz created hype amongst actor fans and Tamil cinema audiences. If this movie happens, it’s going to be a banger from the actor.
