Vijay Sethupathi Talks ‘Maharaja’ Magic, Fatherhood and Cross-Industry Leap: ‘Life Is a Beautiful Script’ (EXCLUSIVE)


Indian actor Vijay Sethupathi recounts his journey from being an accountant to star of hit film 'Maharaja.'

The actor’s 50th film, the Tamil-language “ Maharaja,” written and directed by Nithilan Saminathan (“Kurangu Bommai”), is an action-packed saga that blends thriller elements with family drama and has a father-daughter relationship at its core. His breakout role in 2012 title “Pizza” established him as a talent to watch, while films like “Vikram Vedha” (2017), “96” (2018), and “Super Deluxe” (2019) cemented his reputation as one of the most versatile actors in the industry. With recent forays into Hindi cinema with films like “Jawan” and “Merry Christmas,” plus the hit Prime Video series “Farzi,” Sethupathi has now become a pan-Indian phenomenon.
