Putting an end to reports that claimed that he is doing an important role in Vijay's forthcoming film 'Thupaki', Sarath Kumar has said he is not aware of any such development. "This is news to me," he said.

The actor-politician, who is the president of South Indian Film Artistes Association, said, "No one associated with Thupaki has contacted me. There is no truth in the claim that I am part of the movie."

The founder president of All India Samathuva Makkal Katchi is at present a legislator in the Tamil Nadu Assembly. On the acting front, he is busy with Superstar Rajinikanth's ‘Kochadaiyaan’, 'Vidiyal', and a couple of films in Malayalam and Kannada.

On 'Vidiyal', he says, "The shooting is almost over. The rest will be completed once Sneha becomes free, as she took a break due to her wedding with Prasanna. We are waiting for her."
