Despite this, reports now suggest that he is in negotiations for a negative role in a major pan-Indian film featuring a leading superstar.
A Legacy of Memorable Villain Performances
Over the years, Sethupathi has left a lasting impression as a villain in several blockbuster films. His performance in 'Petta' alongside Superstar Rajinikanth, 'Master' opposite Thalapathy Vijay, and 'Vikram' with Kamal Haasan earned him widespread acclaim.

A Surprising Turn After 'Maharaja'
Following the massive success of his last release, 'Maharaja,' reports surfaced that Vijay Sethupathi would focus on lead roles and avoid villain characters moving forward.

A Potential Blockbuster Collaboration in the Making
Reportedly, Sandeep Reddy Vanga recently met with Vijay Sethupathi to discuss the role, and negotiations are actively underway. If finalized, this collaboration will bring together two powerhouse performers, adding significant weight to the film. Fans are eagerly awaiting an official announcement, which is expected soon. With 'Spirit' already generating immense curiosity, the addition of Vijay Sethupathi in a villainous role would elevate expectations even further. If he accepts the offer, it will mark yet another major milestone in his career, proving his ability to seamlessly transition between protagonist and antagonist roles while captivating audiences across different film industries.
