Makkal Selvan Vijay Sethupathi, one of the finest actors who can effortlessly dominate both hero and villain roles, is all set to make a thunderous comeback as an antagonist after several years.
The superstar has been officially roped in to play a powerful villain in the upcoming pan-India project starring Telugu heartthrob Vijay Deverakonda and National Award-winning actress Keerthy Suresh. Directed by Ravi Kiran, the film has already completed its first schedule, and the second schedule has just begun, with Vijay Sethupathi joining the sets today.
Here’s the big shocker: For just 20 days of call sheet, Vijay Sethupathi has reportedly been paid a whopping ₹20 crore — that’s ₹1 crore per day! This massive remuneration has placed him ahead of many top stars in Tamil cinema in terms of paycheck for a special appearance.
The team has kept his character details under tight wraps, but sources close to the unit reveal that it will be “the most brutal and never-seen-before villainy” from the actor.
An official announcement along with the first-look poster is expected to drop soon. Fans are already buzzing with excitement to witness Makkal Selvan in full-on villain mode once again!
