Vijay Sethupathi Signed The Rajinikanth-Karthik Subbaraj Film Without Listening To The Script
Actor Vijay Sethupathi told a Tamil daily that he is looking forward to beginning work on the Karthik Subbaraj-Rajinikanth film as he can learn a lot by just observing the 67-year-old star.
Versatile
actor
Vijay
Sethupathi
will
soon
be
seen
playing
a
pivotal
role
in
young
director
Karthik
Subbaraj's
film
with
Rajinikanth.
And,
as
expected,
movie
buffs
are
quite
excited
about
seeing
Kollywood's
'Thalaiva'
sharing
screen
space
with
'Makkal
Selvan'.
During
a
recent
interview
with
a
Tamil
daily,
Sethupathi
revealed
that
he
signed
the
film
without
even
reading
its
script
as
he
has
full
faith
in
Subbaraj's
directorial
abilities.
He
added
that
he
is
looking
forward
to
working
with
the
Superstar
as
he
can
learn
a
lot
from
him.
He,
however,
did
not
confirm
whether
he
will
be
playing
the
antagonist
in
the
film.
One
can
expect
more
clarity
on
this
once
the
film
hits
the
floors
this
June.
A
short
while
ago,
while
talking
to
Sun
TV,
Subbaraj
had
said
that
directing
Rajinikanth
will
be
an
'enjoyable
challenge'
for
him.
"Even
though
I've
made
four
films
in
my
career
so
far,
I
grew
fascinated
towards
cinema
because
of
superstar
Rajinikanth
sir.
To
get
to
direct
him
is
the
best
moment
of
my
life," he
had
said.
We
wish
the
team
good
luck
and
hope
that
the
film
turns
out
to
be
a
success.

a
related
