Seethakaathi: Vijay Sethupathi’s look designed by Oscar winner!!
Vijay Sethupathi is one of the most versatile actors in Tamil film industry at present. The actor is game for any sort of experimentation and his upcoming movies are a testimony for that. In Junga he plays a fun don, while he plays a transgender in Super Deluxe. In Balaji Tharaneetharan’s Seethakaathi, Vijay Sethupathi plays the role of a drama artist. He will be appearing in three different age groups – that of a 75, 50 and 30-year-old in the movie.
The first look poster of Seethakaathi, which was released on his birthday last month, had him in a nearly unrecognizable look of a 75-year-old man. Oscar Award-winning make up artist Kevin Haney, known for his work in films such as Driving Miss Daisy and Planet of the Apes, has designed Vijay Sethupathi’s look in the movie.
Seethakaathi is also the actor’s 25th film, so expectations are high among the audience. He has a performance oriented role in the movie and reports suggests that the actor has given an extraordinary performance. The movie also marks his reunion with director Balaji Tharaneetharan after the comic caper Naduvula Konjam Pakkatha Kaanom.
The supporting cast includes Archana, J Mahendran, Bagavathy Perumal, Rajkumar, Parvatii Nair and Remya Nambeesan among others. Govind Menon of Thaikkudam Bridge is handling the music department. It is being produced jointly by Sudhan Sundaram, Umesh, Jayaram and Arun Vaidyanathan under the banner of Passion Studios.
