My character in Master has no traces of goodness: Vijay Sethupathi

One of the biggest reasons to wait for ‘Master’ is the fact that Vijay and Vijay Sethupathi are sharing screen space for the first time ever. This Lokesh directorial has the two stars pitted against each other. While Vijay plays a college professor named John Durairaj, Vijay Sethupathi will be seen as a gangster in the film. His character is named as Bhavani and it is said to be a very interesting role that’s not entirely one-dimensional.

In a recent interview, Vijay Sethupathi revealed about what drew him to the film. Apparently, his character Bhavani is a purely character with a ruthless approach. When Lokesh first narrated the subject, what excited Vijay Sethupathi was the fact that his character won’t have traces of goodness in any point in the screenplay. He has several combination scenes in the film with Vijay and most of it where shot within a jail.

‘Master’ is one of the most awaited South Indian films of the year. It was originally scheduled to hit screens in April but due to the Corona virus outbreak, the makers were forced to push the release plans. Industry insiders hopeful about the film getting a Diwali release in November.

Rahman likely to reprise Vivek Oberoi’s role in Lucifer Telugu remake!

Telugu superstar Chiranjeevi will be starring in the Telugu remake of Malayalam blockbuster ‘Lucifer’. His son actor Ram Charan is producing the film and Sujeeth of ‘Saaho’ fame will be directing it. The makers are currently working on the pre-production which includes finalizing the cast. They are planning to start shooting by the end of this year.

It is being reported that Rahman has been approached to play the antagonist in the film. He is likely to reprise the character essayed by Vivek Oberoi in the original. Though the makers had approached Oberoi himself to reprise the character, he was not very keen to play the same part again. In ‘Lucifer’, he played the role of Bobby, a sophisticated and manipulative businessman. Powered by actor Vineeth’s perfect dubbing and measured performance, Oberoi did total justice to his casting. It will be interesting to see how Rahman essays the same role.

Telugu medias are also reporting that Suhasini Mani Ratnam will be reprising the role played by Manju Warrier in ‘Lucifer’. Several other rumours about the cast members are doing the rounds but an official announcement is yet to be made.
