Tamil
cinema's
overnight
poster
boy
Vijay
Sethupathi,
who
has
scored
multiple
hits
with
films
such
as
Pizza,
Soodhu
Kavvum
and
Naduvula
Konjam
Pakkatha
Kaanom
with
debut
directors,
has
signed
thriller
Mellisai
with
another
first-time
director.
This
movie
is
being
directed
by
debutant
Ranjith.
Talking
to
IANS,
Vijay
Sethupathi
said,
"I'm
more
interested
in
the
story
than
the
person
who
will
direct
it.
Luckily,
most
of
my
projects
so
far
have
been
with
debutants
because
I
was
impressed
with
their
stories.
I
don't
do
any
and
every
film
by
a
debutant
that
comes
my
way.
I
have
also
turned
down
a
few
projects."
The
actor
is
currently
busy
juggling
between
four
projects,
but
still
he
went
ahead
and
signed
the
movie
Mellisai.
Vijay
Sethupathi
said,
"I
remember
saying
it
recently
that
I
won't
sign
any
new
projects
this
year,
but
I
was
so
hooked
on
by
the
story
of
this
film
that
I
couldn't
let
go
of
it.
I
may
get
busier,
but
I'm
happy
that
I
didn't
let
go
of
a
good
project
and
I
will
continue
doing
such
different
films."
With
four
back-to-back
blockbusters,
Vijay
Sethupathi
is
awaiting
the
release
of
Tamil
rural
comedy
Rummy
and
comedy-drama
Pannaiyarum
Padminiyum,
also
with
debutant
directors.
