Vijay Sethupathi is ‘not comfortable’ being called pan-Indian actor, speaks about his weight loss: ‘I am just an actor’

Actor Raashi Khana, who has starred in movies in various languages, also said she doesn’t like the term ‘pan-India’. She opined, “We are all actors first, so why divide? It doesn’t come from us, the actors, wanting to be called ‘pan-India’. It’s probably just the people who are putting it out there.” She added that the term divides the actors even further after being divided into Bollywood, Tollywood, and Kollywood.

“Why are you dividing us? We have already been divided into Bollywood, Tollywood, Kollywood, then there is North, South. There is so much division already and now suddenly on the top of it is ‘pan India’. Why are we categorising everything.”

Vijay Sethupathi also talked about his body transformation. He lost a lot of weight recently and also shared a selfie on Instagram showing off his lost kilos. His fans showered him with a lot of praise after he shared the photo and this love from his fans now pushes the actor to hit the gym every day.

Asked what was his motivation behind his weight-loss journey, Sethupathi replied, “My old pictures. I used to have continuous shoots and I felt workouts are very boring. I don’t believe in dieting. I love tasty food and I feel if I don’t eat tasty food, my life won’t be at ease. But, in the past few years, I couldn’t use my body properly while performing. Some roles suit my body but then it was disturbing me so much. So, I thought ok. I don’t have the concept of six-pack abs. I just want to be flexible.”

Farzi has Sethupathi in the role of a trigger-happy cop who is after Shahid Kapoor’s character Sunny.
