“Farmers issue has been a talking point for several years,” says Vijay Sethupathi

The documentary Kolai Vilayum Nilam directed by journalist K. Rajeev Gandhi and produced under the banner Impress films by S Kavitha and Qatar friends was launched at Prasad Labs. Speaking at the event, Vijay Sethupathi showered praise on Rajeev Gandhi for bringing the plight of farmers to the silver screen.

“Salutes to Rajiv Gandhi. Farmers issue has been a talking point for several years. I think our protests and our approaches have become habitual like their morning breakfast. Our protests and strategies should change. When everyone’s changing it’s our state that never changes. I humbly request those who lead the protests should also think about the alternative strategies to take the protests to next level. I wish this documentary reaches a wider audience and makes a remarkable change in us,” said Vijay Sethupathi.

Vijay Sethupathi is currently awaiting the release of action thriller Vikram Vedha, which is releasing on July 21st. Produced by Sashikanth’s YNot Studios and directed by Gayathri and Pushkar, the movie has Madhavan locking horns with Vijay Sethupathi. Shraddha Srinath, Varalaxmi Sarathkumar, and Kathir play important roles in the film.
