When Karthik Subbaraj narrated the story of Jigarthanda to Vijay Sethupathi, the project could not get materialized. But when it did, Vijay Sethupathi was busy with other projects and Bobby Simha landed his lifetime role as Assault Sethu, last year’s most celebrated villain on screen. Now, Vijay Sethupathi is all set to play gangster in his next film, to be funded by Sashikanth of YNOT Studios.
It is said to be a taut action thriller set in the backdrop of encounter cops. Titled Vikram-Veda, the film will be directed by Pushkar – Gayathri of Oram Po fame. Vijay Sethupathi is currently busy working on Vignesh Shivan’s Naanum Rowdy Thaan.
