Vijay Sethupathi’s next with Sketch fame Vijay Chander launched

We had earlier reported about Vijay Sethupathi signing a new film with director Vijay Chander of ‘Sketch’ and ‘Vaalu’ fame. The movie was been launched today in Hyderabad. Vijaya Productions is funding the movie. Raashi Khanna and Nivetha Pethuraj have been signed as the female leads. Others in the cast include Soori, Nasser, Asutosh Rana, Ravi Kishan and John Vijay. The makers have signed Vivek – Mervind duo to compose music.

Director Vijay Chander’s first two films – ‘Vaalu’ and ‘Sketch’ failed to impress the critics and had a lukewarm run at the box office. So the director will be hoping to correct his mistakes and a deliver a hit this time. Similar to his previous two films, this one with Vijay Sethupathi is also expected to be a complete mass entertainer.

Vijay Sethupathi meanwhile has a bunch of films lined up in his kitty. He recently wrapped up shooting for ‘Maamanithan’, directed by his mentor Seenu Ramasamy. Two of his films – ‘Sindhubaadh’ and ‘Super Deluxe’ are gearing up for release. Besides that, he has also committed for films with directors SP Jananathan, Venkata Krishna Roganth, Prabhu and Delhiprasad Deenadayal. The actor is also set to make his Malayalam debut this year with ‘Marconi Mathai’, in which he will be playing one of the leads alongside Jayaram.
