Rumour
mills
were
abuzz
with
the
news
that
Tamil
actor
Vijay
Sethupathi
had
to
lose
out
on
the
Aamir
Khan
and
Kareena
Kapoor
Khan-starrer
Laal
Singh
Chaddha,
as
he
could
not
lose
weight
for
his
role
in
the
same.
The
actor
who
is
currently
dubbing
for
his
film
Tuglaq
Durbar,
recently
revealed
why
he
quit
the
film.
Vijay
went
on
to
say
how
him
walking
out
of
the
film
had
nothing
to
do
with
his
weight.
Talking
to
Spotboye,
Vijay
Sethupathi
revealed
that
he
always
had
high
regards
for
Aamir
Khan
as
an
actor
and
was
inspired
by
his
selection
of
roles.
The
Master
actor
added
that
when
he
got
to
know
Aamir
through
Laal
Singh
Chaddha,
he
was
even
more
impressed
by
the
latter's
knowledge
of
cinema
as
well
as
humility,
and
called
interacting
with
the
3
Idiots
actor
a
learning
experience.
Talking
about
how
he
was
initially
offered
the
role,
Sethupathi
said
that
Aamir
had
personally
offered
him
the
role
and
had
flown
down
to
a
village
in
Tamil
Nadu
where
Vijay
was
shooting,
to
narrate
the
script.
Vijay
Sethupathi
added
how
Aamir
Khan
had
come
alone
to
the
village
sans
director
Advait
Chandan
and
had
stayed
overnight
after
the
narration.
The
actor
spoke
about
how
the
superstar
had
no
airs
and
was
a
great
storyteller.
Sethupathi
added
that
the
way
Aamir
had
narrated
the
script,
instantly
made
him
say
yes
to
the
same.
The
Super
Deluxe
actor
then
went
on
to
say
what
exactly
led
him
to
opt-out
of
the
project.
Vijay
blamed
the
COVID-19
pandemic
to
be
the
main
reason
for
him
walking
out
of
the
project.
He
added
that
the
pandemic
ransacked
all
their
plans
and
that
he
already
had
five
Telugu
films
in
the
production
stage
after
the
lockdown
and
was
not
able
to
accommodate
Laal
Singh
Chaddha
in
his
schedule.
Along
with
this,
Vijay
also
rubbished
the
rumours
of
him
losing
out
on
the
film
due
to
his
weight.
He
said
how
he
is
extremely
comfortable
with
his
body
and
mind.
He
also
showered
heaps
of
praises
on
Aamir
Khan
and
said
that
he
will
never
forget
the
actor's
kindness
and
love
for
cinema.
Meanwhile,
on
the
work
front,
Sethupathi
was
last
seen
in
the
blockbuster
film
Master
opposite

Vijay.
He
was

the
main
antagonist
in
the
Lokesh
Kanagaraj
directorial.
