Vijay Sethupathi on actors romancing younger actresses

As per Indian Express, Vijay Sethupathi was not interested in repeating his statements about actors romancing younger actresses. When asked about this topic, the ‘Master’ actor said, “I have spoken about it already. I acted with Krithi Shetty in Uppenna in 2021, and later, a director told me let’s approach her for another film as a heroine. I said no because I had asked her to consider me as a dad during the climax sequence of Uppenna. So, I said no.”

The ‘Farzi’ actor added that the decision on whether to feature opposite any actor lies with the actress too. He said, “What if she had told me that she doesn’t want to act with me because ‘this man has asked me to consider him as dad’. She can say no also. I have answered this question earlier. Please leave it.”
