New Delhi: Speaking to a national news agency, Tamil superstar Vijay Sethupathi, who believes in letting his work speak for himself, said, some risks are worth taking, whether it is playing an antagonist in “Master” or portraying the role of a trans woman in “Super Deluxe”.
In a career of 40 to 50 films, Sethupathi has done negative roles in very few movies, including superstar Rajinikanth’s “Petta” and “Master”, which features him opposite industry senior, Thalapathy Vijay.
In “Master”, Sethupathi’s revenge-driven gangster uses children of a juvenile school for criminal activities. His business comes under attack when an alcoholic professor (Vijay) is sent to the school.
Sethupathi said he trusted director Lokesh Kanagaraj’s vision for the character that allowed him to explore dark emotions.
