Multi-faceted actor, Vijya Sethupathi was last seen in S.U Arunkumar’s Sindhubaadh that featured Anjali as the female lead. VJS’s son Surya Sethupathi also played a role in the film, making it the memorable father-son collaboration for 2019.
With the Best Actor Award for Super Deluxe at the Melbourne Indian Film Festival under his belt, the actor cum filmmaker has a few biggies in the pipeline. One of the most anticipated would be Sye Raa Narashima Reddy that has Amitabh Bachchan, Chiranjeevi, Sudeep, Nayanthara, Jagapathi Babu, Tamannaah in its cast line-up.

However, what has us in shock is his upcoming involvement in Uppena that would be featuring him in a never-seen-before role. Vijay Sethupathi playing father to the heroine in this movie, is a little hard to digest as he is still the heart-throb of many women, old and young!

Uppena will feature debutant Pancha Vaisshnav Dev (Chiranjeevi's nephew) and Keerthy Shetty in lead roles. While there have been rumours that the actor has stepped down from this project, the makers have finally put the rumours to rest with an official announcement. Sharing a pic from the shooting spot, the makers wrote, “Super happy to announce that Makkal Selvan, Vijay Sethupathi garu joined the shoot of #Uppena starring debutants #PanjaVaisshnavTej, Krithi Shetty and directed by #BuchiBabuSana.. Music by Rockstar Devi Sri Prasad".
