Vijay
Sethupathi
is
known
for
playing
unconventional
roles.
The
actor
has
chosen
roles
that
he
thinks
will
suit
his
image
and
doesn't
usually
believe
in
custom-made
roles.
He
played
a
negative
character
in
one
of
his
earlier
films
called
Sundarapandian.
He
was
also
part
of
National-award
winning
Tamil
drama
Thenmerku
Paruvakaatru.
While
he
played
a
pizza
delivery
boy
in
Tamil
horror-thriller
Pizza,
Vijay
portrayed
a
character
who
was
suffering
from
short-term
memory
loss
in
Naduvula
Konjam
Pakkatha
Kaanom
(NKPK).
He
received
critical
acclaim
for
both
the
roles.
"I
don't
believe
a
role
can
be
written
keeping
in
mind
some
actor.
Even
if
such
roles
exist,
I
don't
pick
them
because
I
generally
choose
roles
that
I
think
will
suit
my
image.
Roles
should
choose
an
actor
and
not
vice
versa," Vijay
told
IANS.
"For
instance,
I
was
considered
unfit
for
the
lead
role
in
recently
released
Soodhu
Kavvum,
but
I
knew
I
was
perfect
for
it.
Even
though
the
director
initially
didn't
offer
me
the
role,
I
literally
fought
for
it
and
eventually
got
it,"
he
added.
Vijay
played
a
misfit
kidnapper
in
Tamil
crime-comedy
Soodhu
Kavvum,
which
was
received
very
well
by
audiences.

He
clarifies
there
is
nothing
wrong
in
doing
multi-starrers.
"If
you
have
a
meaty
part
to
play,
I
don't
see
the
harm
in
being
part
of
multi-starrers," he
said.

Vijay
adds,
"Moreover,
I
will
be
happy
to
be
a
part
of
a
good
film
than
playing
lead
roles
in
some
bad
films."

Two
films,
NKPK
and
Soodhu
Kavvum,
featuring
Vijay
have
been
multi-starrers.
All
of
Vijay's
films
to
date
have
been
with
debutants.
There
are
few
more
in
the
offing
as
well.

"There
is
no
hard
and
fast
rule
that
I
only
work
with
debutants.
I
give
prime
importance
to
script,
and
when
that
works
out,
everything
else
falls
in
place
automatically.
In
fact,
most
debutants
express
interest
to
work
with
me," he
added.

He
has
half
a
dozen
Tamil
films
in
his
kitty.
Presently,
he
is
busy
filming
for
Rummy,
Pannaiyarum
Padminiyum
and
Idharkuthane
Aasaipattai
Balakumara.
