  • IndiaGlitz, [Wednesday,November 21 2018]

The trailer of 'Seethakathi' starring Vijay Sethupathi as an aged thespian has just landed and is sheer magic in moving images.  The story is nicely teased as the characters in the film start searching for the elusive Ayya Adhimoolam an aged actor with a mass fan following.  A producer gets desperate and warns dire consequences if the legend does not come out of his hiding.

We are then introduced to the man himself Vijay Sethupathi as Ayya looking every bit the eight five year old enjoying intimate moments with his grandson.   It is a virtual 'Naduvula Konjam Pakkatha Kanom' reunion as Rajkumar. Gayathrie and Bhagavathi Perumal play important characters.  The trailer is also loaded with veterans Archana, Mouli and Mahendran.

Vijay Sethupathi gives every indication of bagging all the awards this year with his body language and that realistic shake in his voice.  Saraskanth's realistic lighting of the frames is complimented by the rich flute renditions by Govind Vasantha and Balaji Tharaneetharan once more sells his offbeat theme instantly with this 3 minutes 9 second trailer.
