Shahid Kapoor: Vijay Sethupathi is very childlike and innocent

Bollywood actor Shahid Kapoor, who is gearing up for the release of his show ‘Farzi’, worked with south sensation Vijay Sethupathi for the first time and he shared that he found him to be extremely innocent.

Talking about Vijay, Shahid said on IMDb Original ‘Burning Questions’: “He is very childlike and innocent in the way he comes across. There is a lot of integrity to him as an actor, and he is also unpredictable as an actor. He’s a pure artist; you can just sense it when you work with him. That’s the biggest compliment you can give anybody. It was a pleasure working with him.”

With Farzi streaming in a few days from now, Shahid said, “I am very happy with the show. It takes away a lot of nervousness when you feel satisfied with what you’ve done. I feel very happy with the way it’s turned out and am excited to share it with people. It’s my first time on a digital platform, and I’m excited to see how people respond to that.”

Shahid made his debut in the Hindi film industry 20 years ago.

When asked how he deals with adversity, he shared some words of wisdom. “Adversity is challenging, but when you are challenged, you become a better version of yourself, so it’s an opportunity.” About his biggest challenge till date, he said, “People Management. I think it’s more challenging than what I do.”

On the one film he wants everyone to see, Shahid spoke about a classic. “Jaane Bhi Do Yaaro is a film I’d want everyone to see. It had dad (Pankaj Kapur), Naseer uncle, Satish Kaushik ji and some fantastic actors. I don’t know how many people have seen it. It even had Vidhu Vinod Chopra as an actor.”

“They were all a bunch of friends who came together and made it. Kundan Shah directed it. It’s one of the funniest films I have seen. It can make me laugh anytime. If you want to have a fun time, just watch it, it’s great!”

He also revealed that ‘Dunki’ is the movie he is looking forward to watching in 2023, as it brings together Shah Rukh Khan and Rajkumar Hirani.

Michael Telugu Movie review

Michael Telugu Movie review

Telugu360 Rating : 2.25/5

Sandeep Kishan, Vijay Sethupathi and Vasudev Menon’s gangster drama Michael got released today. Michael is the first big-budget film for Sandeep Kishan and the producers have believed in the story rather than the hero and pooled money on this. Let us have a look at Michael’s review:

Story:

Michael is in the shades of 90’s. A ten-year-old boy Michael (Sandeep Kishan) saves Mumbai Gangster Gurunadh (Gautam Vasudev Menon) from an attack and he starts living with him. Guru is so dependent on Michael rather than his son Amarnath (Varun Sandesh). Guru assigns a task to Michael to kill Teera (Divyansha Kaushik) and her father Ratnakar (Avinash Kuruvella), who lives in Delhi. The story behind Michael and Vijay Sethupathi’s role and Michael’s link with Ratnakar is the story plot.

Analysis:

Michael is an old school story. KGF shades are seen in the film at the time of projecting the roles, but nowhere the screenplay sounds convincing because of the highly elevated charecters. Director misses creating not even a single exciting moment on screen. There are plenty of serious talks and needless repetitive scenes. Michael has flavours of KGF, Godfather, Vikram and many more gangster films. A misleading act of the director while projecting Michael’s character impacts the movie big time. Director Ranjith Jeykodi’s work lacks freshness in the film. The elevation screens for each character are only saving factors. Sandeep Kishan was portrayed neatly. Vijay Sethupathi’s role is strong, but the dull screenplay is a big demerit.

Screenplay is poor and the lengthy runtime tests the patience of the audience. With a bunch of artists in the film, the director failed to use them. Lack of emotional attachment is also one of the minuses.

Performance:

Very first thing to talk about in the film is Sandeep Kishan. He has done so much hard work for the film and that is projected on screen. Action scenes are well-directed. Vijay Sethupathi and Varalakshmi Sarathkumar are impressive from their side, but they don’t have much screen time for performance. Anasuya Bharadwaj had done a very small role. Gautham Vasudev Menon has come out with the full-length role as a Mumbai gangster. He has done his part quite well, but his monotonous action is boring. Divyansha Kaushik is stylish and the chemistry between the lead pair is good.

Background score and visuals are top-notch. Production values are good. Michael is definitely a stylish gangster drama. But with the poor writings of director Ranjith, the movie will not impress the audience.

Verdict: Michael is a stylish film with bad screenplay and writing. It would end up as a disappointment.

Vijay Sethupathi says Hindi audience doesn’t take him seriously

Tamil superstar Vijay Sethupathi, who will be soon seen essaying the role of a cop in the upcoming streaming series ‘Farzi’, took a dig at the Hindi-language audience, saying he isn’t taken seriously until he works with the big talents of the Hindi film industry.

The actor, who has cultivated a new fan base and audience, courtesy of OTT and his films such as ‘Super Deluxe’, ‘Vikram Vedha’, ’96’ or the more recent ‘Vikram’, is working with Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan in the Atlee Kuamar’s film ‘Jawaan’ and with Katrina Kaif in ‘Merry Christmas’.

Taking a subtle dig, the actor said, “Whoever asks me that I am doing a Hindi project, I have to say I am working with Shahid then only they say, ‘oh wow, okay’.”

He added: “So, I have to say I am working with Shah Rukh sir, I am working with Katrina Kaif, then only they respect me. So, it depends on the artist who I’m working with.”

‘Farzi’, which marks Vijay Sethupathi’s foray into the streaming space, has been created and helmed by Raj & DK of ‘The Family Man’ fame. But Sethupathi refuses to call it a debut in streaming space.

“I don’t know how to say it’s a debut because I don’t see it as a debut. In 2010, I debuted as a hero. It’s been 12 years. I did about 55 films. It’s like I am going back as a kid again, so I don’t think it’s a debut,” Sethupathi said.

“For me, a short film or a feature film, every scene is a film. We are putting the same kind of effort for each and every shot to impress the audience,” he added.

Vijay Sethupathi’s next, ‘Gandhi Talks’, will be a silent film

Director Kishore P. Belekar’s upcoming film, ‘Gandhi Talks’, featuring actors Vijay Sethupathi, Arvind Swamy and Aditi Rao Hydari in the lead, will be a silent film, its makers disclosed on Sunday.

The film, produced by Zee Studios, is a dark comedy which will have music by the Mozart of Madras, A.R. Rahman.

On Sunday, Zee Studios released an introductory promo that gave audiences a glimpse of the film.

Being a silent film, ‘Gandhi Talks’ is expected to break all ‘language’ barriers and allow audiences to relive the bygone silent film era – in a present-day setting.

The only aural language of the film will be the music and score by the multi-award-winning legend, Padma Shri A.R. Rahman.

Director Kishore P. Belekar said: “A silent film is not a gimmick. It is a form of storytelling. Conveying emotions by switching off the device of dialogue is not only scary but also interesting and challenging.”

Zee Studios CBO Shariq Patel said: “The story is unique, relatable, and incredibly funny, and entertaining. It feels great to back a silent film in collaboration with A.R. Rahman, Vijay Sethupathi, and Arvind Swami. This venture makes it very compelling for us.”

Presented and produced by Zee Studios, ‘Gandhi Talks’ is being co-produced with Kyoorious Digital Pvt Ltd and Movie Mill Entertainment and is set to release worldwide next year.

Tollywood eyes on Vijay Sethupathi

The much hyped Master movie released during this Pongal failed to live up to the expectations of the audience. Though, it opened to mixed response from audience in Tamil Nadu, it is getting decent collections there. But in Telugu, it is almost declared a flop. But one person who got benefited with this movie is Vijay Sethupathi, who played villain role in the movie. Now, Tollywood also eyeing on him. Details as below

There is always scarcity for good actors for villain roles. When heroes play Villain roles, the role becomes even stronger. Even though Master movie did not meet the expectations, Vijay Sethupathi performance in the movie caught the attention of not only the audience but also the makers. Even though he played role in movies like Saira Narasimha Reddy, they were not full length roles. So now, the Tollywood makers are eyeing on roping Vijay Sethupathi for different kinds of roles in Telugu.

On the other hand, he already played a prominent role in upcoming Uppena movie. The makers of that movie have not yet released trailers showing his role. It is believed that once Uppena is released, makers may get more clarity on what kind of roles could be offered to Vijay Sethupathi in Telugu. This might also be a marketing technique as Vijay Sethupathi has very good market in Tamil Nadu and to some extent in Kerala. By roping him in a prominent role, movie may get good offers from these neighbouring states in terms of dubbing rights as well as satellite rights.

Overall, Telugu audience can expect to see more of Vijay Sethupathi in upcoming couple of years.

Master Movie Review : Fails to meet expectations

MASTER MOVIE REVIEW

MASTER MOVIE REVIEW

TELUGU360 RATING 2.5/5

Tamil actor Vijay cemented his position in Tollywood after a long wait. His recent films fared well at the box-office and his recent offering Master is high on expectations. The makers managed to get a release in a record number of screens across Andhra Pradesh and Telangana. Khaidi sensation Lokesh Kanagaraj directed Master and Vijay Sethupathi essayed the role of the lead antagonist. Malavika Mohanan is the heroine and XB Film Creators are the producers. Here is the review of Master:

Story:

JD (Vijay) is a professor in a renowned college who is addicted to alcohol and is hated by the heads as he never keeps up to the rules. But he is a hero across the college as he does things at the right time. After an unexpected incident, JD is sent to a juvenile center which is lead by Bhavani (Vijay Sethupathi). The rest of Master is all about the real conflict between JD, Bhavani and the second half narrates about who takes the upper hand and what happens finally. Watch Master to know about the unknown truths that happen in JD’s life.

Analysis:

Starting off, the audience will be quite disappointed with Lokesh Kanagaraj’s work for sure. One needs ample patience to watch this stretched drama and the second half turns out to be a boring feast that is high on a predictable note. After watching Khaidi, one expects an intense drama between the lead actors between Vijay and Vijay Sethupathi but Lokesh simply has wasted his opportunity. The episodes between Vijay and Vijay Sethupathi are minimal. While Vijay impresses the audience with his swag, Vijay Sethupathi is the show stealer of Master undoubtedly.

The first half of Master has things in the right proportions and it reminds everyone of Megastar Chiranjeevi’s yesteryear hit film Master. Two good action episodes, impressive songs and Vijay’s performance along with the college episodes and terrific interval bang makes the first half of Master a passable affair. But the second half tests the patience of the audience and most of the episodes are dragged, predictable. Cutting down the college episodes would have helped the film and the climax portions are pretty simple and make no impact. After an impressive first half, the second half of Master is a disappointment in many ways.

However Master will appeal to the hardcore fans of Vijay and Vijay Sethupathi along with the Tamil audience. The action episodes are well designed and presented on screen. Master runs on a commercial template and has enough dose of Tamil nativity which is a barrier for Telugu audience. Anirudh Ravichander is an asset for the film and his background score takes most of the episodes to the next level.

Performances:

Vijay tops the show as usual with his mannerisms and keeps his fans thoroughly engaging. His dance moves are a treat and he excelled in the action episodes. Malavika Mohanan has nothing much to do in the film but she makes a splash with her screen presence. Vijay Sethupathi is a perfect treat and he is the major highlight of the movie. His role should have been extended and fits perfectly in the role of a crooked gangster throughout. Everything was taken well care of about designing his role and presenting it. Andrea’s role is a wasted attempt. Nassar and Shantanu have been decent in their roles.

The audience would expect a hard-hitting and intense film from Lokesh Kanagaraj after Khaidi but it is a typical commercial template like Vijay’s previous films. The songs are just ok and the background score has been top class. The cinematography work looks apt. The editing is below average and more than half an hour in the second half should have been chopped. The production values are grand and apt. Lokesh Kanagaraj fails to live up to the expectations and Master is just one more commercial attempt.

Verdict:

Master is a wasted attempt with a regular commercial template that falls short of the expectations. Vijay, Vijay Sethupathi  and Anirudh’s terrific background score are the only saviors.The patience of the audience would be tested throughout the second half and the film will appeal only to the diehard fans of Vijay and Vijay Sethupathi.
