'Jawaan' star Vijay Sethupathi says he enjoys villainous roles
Expressions are like food and versatile actor Vijay Sethupathi says he wants to have a taste of everything through the characters he plays. The versatile actor, who most recently featured in a negative role in Shah Rukh Khan-starrer 'Jawan', will next be seen as a lead in Sriram Raghavan's highly-anticipated 'Merry Christmas' where he stars opposite Katrina Kaif.
Sethupathi said he has fun when he gets to play villainous characters whether it was in 'Jawan' or 'Vikram Vedha'.
«I enjoy villain roles. In real life, I can't kill anybody, I get a chance to do it (in films). I can express that wholeheartedly… On screen, you can express and play with emotions, it's fun.
Please don't think bad about me. Expressions are like food and taste, and I want to have all the taste,» the actor said responding to a query byPTI at a press conference for «Merry Christmas».
The Tamil superstar, known for critically-acclaimed performance in movies such '96', 'Petta', 'Master', 'Vikram', and OTT show 'Farzi', is full of praise for Kaif, who he described as a «beautiful, sensible, and dedicated» actress.
«I never expected I'll work with this actor and I'm a very big fan of Katrina. I was very happy when I saw her on the first day and I couldn't express (my happiness)… She is a thoughtful actor.»
Sethupathi said Kaif has managed to survive in the industry for more than two decades because she is a sensible actor.
«She is in the industry not because she is beautiful but also sensible.
You can't survive for so long just on the basis of beauty. There should be sense and understanding as well. I felt it when I was working with her.
