Insights from Vijay Sethupathy at the Maharaja Movie Press Meet
During the Maharaja Movie press meet, where the film is set to release on June 14, 2024, Vijay Sethupathy shared valuable advice for aspiring actors. When asked by Madhav about suggestions for newcomers in the film industry, Vijay emphasized the importance of individuality. He urged upcoming actors to avoid blindly following others’ advice, including his own.
Vijay highlighted that just as fingerprints and eye prints are unique, so is each person’s approach to acting. He advised against being influenced by critics or influencers, stressing the need for personal opinions and experiences. According to Vijay, learning from both successes and failures is crucial, as even after 50 films, he still encounters new lessons.
He also discouraged idolizing actors to the point of losing critical analysis, encouraging aspiring actors to study great films and directors from their own perspectives. Ultimately, Vijay’s message was about self-belief, personal analysis, and the courage to make mistakes and learn from them.
In a lighter moment, Vijay complimented Madhav, saying, “You look handsome; you can be an actor,” highlighting the importance of confidence in one’s journey.
Maharaja, directed and written by Nithilan Swaminathan, features a gripping storyline where a barber, portrayed by Vijay Sethupathy, seeks vengeance after his home is burglarized. He cryptically tells the police that his “lakshmi” has been taken, leaving them unsure if it’s a person or an object.
