In 2019, Vijay Sethupathi바카라s 바카라Super Deluxe바카라 missed the opportunity to be India바카라s official entry to the Oscars. The people associated with the film expressed their disappointment. However, in a latest interview, Vijay Sethupathi acknowledged that he was heartbroken when he heard the news.

Speaking to Bollywood Hungama, Vijay Sethupathi said, 바카라It was heartbreaking for us also. Politics, something happened. It was not because I starred in the film. Even if I was not in that film, I wanted that film to go there. Something happened in between and I don바카라t want to talk about it. It바카라s unnecessary.바카라

Vijay Sethupathi played the role of a transgender woman in the film. In an earlier interview, he revealed that ever since he heard the script of the movie, he was keen on taking up the project. Speaking to Film Companion, he said, 바카라When he (Kumararaja) narrated the script, I liked it so much. The way it was written was so awesome. In one scene, my kid asks me why I was not born as a female. That scene was written so well that I decided that I don바카라t want to miss this film. I begged him (the director), told him that you don바카라t need to pay me any money. On the first day, I think it took 50-60 takes. Then finally, I realised the female inside me. I got the confidence.바카라

바카라Super Deluxe바카라 won multiple awards and it was praised for exploring oft-ignored themes.

Vijay Sethupathi will be next seen in Sriram Raghavan바카라s 바카라Merry Christmas바카라 along with Katrina Kaif.
