Vijay Sethupathi to play a baddie?

Director Sukumar is not only co-producing a film that marks the launch of Vaishnav Tej (Chiranjeevi’s nephew), but he is also planning to rope in a reputed name for the role of a baddie in the film. Buzz is that Tamil hero Vijay Sethupathi is being considered to play a villain in this movie. Vijay is currently making his Telugu debut in Chiranjeevi-starrer Sye Raa Narasimha Reddy, in which he will be seen as Raaja Pandi, a close aide of Narasimha Reddy.

A source informs, “The filmmakers have not zeroed in on any particular star as of now, however, they are keen to cast a familiar face so that it elevates the film’s appeal. Vijay Sethupathi’s name has been discussed and efforts are on to talk to the actor.” Directed by Buchi Babu, the film stars Manisha Raj as the leading lady.
