Yes, It Is A Villain’s Role,” Vijay Sethupathi Speaks on The Offer From Kamal Haasan

The  brilliant  Vijay Sethupathi currently basking in the success of his two back-to-back villainous  act in the Tamil  and  Telugu blockbusters Master and Uppenu,  could soon be  pulling off a hat-trick of vileness on  screen.

He has  has  just  been  offered a film  with Kamal Haasan to be directed  by Lokesh Kanagraj.

“They  have come to me with the  offer. Yes, it is a villain’s role. But let’s see. We  haven’t yet worked out the dates,etc. So it would be premature to say  I am  doing the  film,”  says Vijay ,taking  time  off  from his  hectic schedule to speak on his  projects  on  hand.

So is he keen on giving  the villain’s part one more try? “Yes, why not?I like exploring the  dark side of human nature. By putting  all the negative  forces  within me  out there on screen I get to live  a  life that I’d never  be  able to live  in real  life. Did  you  find the two characters in Master and Uppena  to be similar? Similarly  if  I  agree to do one  more  villain’s part it would be to explore  a darker shade  of  human nature than I’ve attempted so far.”

So is Vijay  thinking seriously of doing Vikram?  “Like I said  they are yet to come to me to work out the details. So right now  it would be  premature , VERY  premature, to say I  am  doing it. That film(Vikram)  already has two  great artistes on  board Kamal Haasan and Fawadh Faasil . If I come on board , I must bring something  special to the  project. Or else  there  is no point to it.”
