Birthday gift for Vijay Sethupathi

Kishor Pandurang Belekar and Vijay Sethupath

After Santosh Sivan's Mumbaikar and Sriram Raghavan's next with Katrina Kaif, South sensation Vijay Sethupathi has landed another Bollywood film. It is being said that the two will feature in Andhadun (2018) director Sriram Raghavan next. Kat will begin work on it after completing Gurmmeet Singh Phone Bhoot. Earlier this month, it was announced that Sethupathi features in Santosh Sivan Mumbaikar. Looks like the Tamil star is adding more B-Town projects in his kitty.

On Saturday, he turned 43. As a birthday gift, Kishor Pandurang Belekar announced Gandhi Talks, starring Sethupati. The film is written, directed and produced by Kishor Pandurang Belekar, while Divay Dhamijain is on board as a creative producer.

"This project has been very close to my heart and when the actor himself relates with the idea and same emotions, it is really a boon for the director. For me Vijay Sethupathi is that actor who can justify this challenging script with his performance. As soon as Vijay read the script, he completely understood my vision and approach towards the film," said Belekar.

"Every director is looking for certain types of characteristics in his actors. While I was searching for the lead in B-Town, I also started looking in alternate industries and that's how I came across Vijay Sethupathi. His acting skills, style statement, and vocal dynamism are stupendous and that's when I felt I found my lead star," the filmmaker added.

Belekar feels Vijay Sethupati's disposition also makes working with him an easy affair. "He is not only prodigious but very down to earth and an anti-propagandist star, who breaks barriers of image for his films. I am really excited to work with him and start my dream project as soon as possible."

Vijay Sethupathi has a line-up of films. The actor has Master, Tughlaq Durbar, Maamanithan, Uppena, Laabam, Yaadhum Oore Yaavarum Kelir in his kitty. It seems like Sethupathi has a busy year ahead!
