Vijay Sethupathi will be seen next in filmmaker Sriram Raghavan’s next — Merry Christmas — with Katrina Kaif. The actor recently spoke about why he is attracted towards negative and complex roles as he promoted the film in Mumbai on Thursday.
In his last Hindi film Jawaan, directed by Atlee, Sethupathi played the antogonist opposite Shah Rukh Khan. Talking about his liking for complex and villain roles, he said, “Everything is complex. We always think that if we see something difficult that’s only difficult. But standing in front of a camera is always difficult.”
When asked if he has a wishlist of filmmakers and actors to collaborate with when he first made his Hindi debut with Shahid Kapoor’s Farzi, Vijay Sethupathi siad, “I don’t have a particular wishlist that I want to work with this director or that. I don’t discuss it with directors as I think they have to choose actors. I depend on filmmakers, stories, and producers.”
Sethupathi then lauded his Merry Christmas co-star Katrina Kaif and said that she is “not only beautiful but also a thinking and sensible actor.”
Sharing his experience shooting the film with Katrina, he said, “I never expected I’ll work with Katrina Kaif. I’m a very big fan of Katrina. I was very happy when I saw her on the first day and I couldn’t express (my happiness). She is a very thoughtful actor. She has so many questions. She thinks a lot. She is very dedicated. She comes up with an idea and she is ready to adapt. Even if she can’t accept your thoughts, she will listen to you. She will put in a lot of effort to make a scene better. That’s why she is in the industry not only because she is beautiful but also because she is sensible. Just on the basis of beauty you can’t survive for so long. There should be sense and understanding. I felt it when I was working with her.”
Merry Christmas is backed by Ramesh Taurani’s Tips Films and Sanjay Routray’s Matchbox Pictures. The film is scheduled to release in theatres on January 12.
