Acclaimed
actor
Vijay
Sethupathi
was
supposed
to
play
a
pivotal
role
in
Aamir
Khan's
upcoming
film
Laal
Singh
Chaddha.
In
fact,
the
Bollywood
star
had
personally
flown
down
to
a
small
town
in
Tamil
Nadu
where
the
Vikram
actor
was
shooting
for
a
film,
to
offer
him
that
part.
Vijay
had
immediately
agreed
to
take
up
the
offer
as
he
was
mesmerised
by
Aamir's
narration.
Unfortunately,
the
actor
later
backed
out
of
the
project
owing
to
date
issues.
Post
his
exit,
the
makers
roped
in
Telugu
star
Naga
Chaitanya
to
play
that
part.
In
his
recent
interview
with
Pinkvilla,
Naga
Chaitanya
fondly
called
as
Chay,
opened
up
on
replacing
the
Master
actor
in
Laal
Singh
Chaddha.
The
Majili
star
said
that
he
was
only
told
by
the
makers
that
Laal
Singh
Chaddha
didn't
work
out
with
Vijay
Sethupathi
because
of
some
date
issues.
Chay
told
the
publication
that
he
wasn't
concerned
about
these
things
when
he
came
on
board
as
his
character
in
Laal
Singh
Chaddha
was
completely
around
the
sensibilities
of
where
he
comes
from.
"Like
it's
a
Telugu
boy
from
Andhra,
and
even
the
diction,
the
Hindi
has
a
few
Telugu
speaking
words
here
and
there
you
know
to
make
it
look
very
organic.
All
these
aspects
made
me
feel
very
comfortable.
But
yeah,
with
Vijay
sir,
we
never
really
overlapped
anywhere,
and
there
was
no
discussion
on
it," Chay
told
the
news
portal.
He
also
talked
about
why
it
took
him
13
years
to
make
his
debut
in
the
Hindi
Film
Industry.
He
shared
that
when
he
started
his
career,
he
invested
most
of
his
time
in
mastering
and
improving
himself
in
Telugu
cinema
because
there
was
a
lot
of
responsibility
on
it
as
he
hailed
from
a
family
of
fantastic
actors
and
filmmakers.
Chay
said
that
he
had
to
keep
a
certain
standard
and
progress
that
journey
which
has
been
created
by
them.
"I
am
never
satisfied
with
what
I
am
doing
back
there
so
I
just
want
to
keep
doing
better
and
better.
My
heart
and
soul,
everything
has
always
been
there.
But
having
said
that,
I
have
always
loved
Hindi
cinema.
I
love
the
kind
of
content
they
do
here,
they
really
push
the
boundaries
and
there
is
so
much
talent
too.
But
when
I
wanted
to
come
here
I
wanted
to
come
with
the
right
sort
of
presentation," Naga
Chaitanya
told
the
portal.
The
Tollywood
star
further
added
that
he
wanted
someone
like
Aamir
Khan
to
guide
him
and
present
him
in
Hindi
Film
Industry
as
he
believes
that
first
impression
is
very
important.
Laal
Singh
Chaddha
is
slated
to
hit
the
theatrical
screens
on
August
11.
