I don’t differentiate a film as off-beat or commercial, because I just don’t understand the difference. ‘Naanum Rowdy Thaan,’ for example, wasn’t written for me. It came to me by chance after two or three other heroes turned it down. I agreed to do the role, as I liked the script immensely. Vijay Sethupathi Read Quote

I worked as an accountant in an auditor’s office, at a textile showroom, a telephone booth, and a fast-food joint while studying. My dad found it odd, but he never interfered in any of my decisions. Vijay Sethupathi Read Quote
