Can Vijay Sethupathi Emulate Rajinikanth's Success?

It is a known fact that superstar Rajinikanth has fans all over the world. But, if there is one place outside India where the Enthiran star is worshipped by movie buffs, it has to be Japan.

From wearing Rajinikanth printed shirts to travelling all the way from Japan to Tamil Nadu just to witness the first day first show frenzy in the actor's home town, fans in Japan have gone to unimaginable heights to express their love towards the superstar.

This being the case, actor Vijay Sethupathi, who has been a part of some interesting flicks in his career so far has a rare chance to emulate what Rajinikanth did in Japan.

While most of the Tamil films, other than Rajinikanth starrers, do not make it to cinema halls in Japan, Vijay's upcoming flick Sethupathi, which portrays the Soodhu Kavvum actor as a cop, will reportedly swoop into many theatres in the Japanese Islands.

Distributed by Zeus Entertainment in many foreign countries, Sethupathi is all set to join the elite list of Tamil movies released in Japan, a list dominated by Rajinikanth flicks.

We wonder if the talented actor can emulate Rajinikanth's success in Japan, which is no mean feat.
