Time and again, Vijay Sethupathi gets asked about him being simple and rustic as opposed to many film stars, who maintain a certain level of fitness. He was asked about the same at a press meet of Maharaja at Hyderabad.
The actor quipped, “I keep getting asked this everywhere. I am not as simple as you all say. I don’t know what else I have to do. According to me, being handsome or smart has nothing to do with physical appearance.”
When asked about many stars having six-packs. Sethupathi said, “How many of us here have a six-pack? Let me get the number. Aren’t you all heroes at your homes? Aren’t you heroes to your wife and kids?”
He added, “I am not against it. Suppose, if there is a project where I have to do it, then I will. The filmmakers should give me time for it. But the story should convince you to do that. Just to have a six-pack, I can’t do it.”
Vijay Sethupathi also revealed that he is not against acting in a masala film. “Everything is fine by me. Being an actor, I have to justify the story if I like it. I can’t say this is right and this is wrong. I also love to do films with songs with beautiful heroines and I have done it also. They haven’t worked. Maybe, my calculations were wrong. I don’t have anything against commercial films if I get a good film and a director who has it in him to execute it, I will do it.”
Only recently, Sethupathi revealed that he will not be acting in an antagonist role because of bad experiences. “Many are bringing me normal villain roles, and they want me to hear the script before saying ‘No’. I don’t have time to listen to all of them. That’s why I stopped listening to such scripts.”
