Sriram Raghavan on working with Vijay Sethupathi

In a recent conversation with India Today, Sriram Raghavan shared that he and Vijay Sethupathi had built a friendship even before the filming of Merry Christmas. They also understood each other’s working styles. Speaking with the portal, the director said, “Vijay always has so much to give to his directors. Even when you want a samosa, he will give you a buffet of options (laughs). He is such a secure actor. He did have his challenges with Hindi but because we are not making something very traditional, I just asked him to be himself. And that worked like magic.”

Furthermore, Sriram Raghavan also opened up about Vijay Sethupathi’s role in Atlee’s Jawan. Although the movie featured him with less screen time, the director wished the actor to have a more memorable role in the movie.

Speaking of the same, he said, “As soon as it came, people really enjoyed him. Of course with Jawan, more audiences got to see him because it had Shah Rukh Khan. But I wish he had a much more memorable role in Jawan. With this film, his first Hindi outing, I think he has gotten what he deserves.” He added. “He has come up the hard way. So he’s grateful and the best part is that he’s always in the quest to learn.”
