Coming back to the topic, recently there were rumours that claimed Vijay Sethupathi had been roped to play a negative character in Allu Arjun starrer Pushpa 2, along with in Shah Rukh Khan starrer Jawan. Now, the actor’s publicist Yuvraaj has denied Vijay’s involvement in the Sukumar directorial but confirmed his role in SRK’s film.
Giving clarification, the publicist of Vijay Sethupathi, Yuvraaj wrote on Twitter, “This is to clarify that #VijaySethupathi sir is doing a negative role only in #ShahRukhKhan sir’s Jawan at this point and that he is not playing a negative role in any other Telugu projects as is being speculated.”
Interestingly, the actor was considered for the Pushpa part 1 also but he backed out due to personal reasons. On the other hand, Manoj Bajpayee’s name also went viral, but the Family Man actor was quick to refuse the rumours. Taking to his social media, the actor wrote, “Kahan kahan se samachar laatey hain aaplog.”
Meanwhile, Vijay Sethupathi playing a negative role in Jawan was earlier confirmed by Peeping Moon. A source close to the development had said, “Shah Rukh Khan and Atlee were keen on casting Vijay Sethupathi after Rana Daggubati backed out of the film, citing scheduling conflict due to his ill health. SRK and Sethupathi share a great admiration for each other, and hence, when SRK himself offered Sethupathi this role in Jawan, he couldn’t refuse it. The Super Deluxe actor has altered his entire shooting diary to accommodate Jawan in between at SRK’s request.”
Allu Arjun and Rashmika Mandanna starrer Pushpa 2, was supposed to get released by the end of this year but due to delays, the release date has been pushed, while the film is set to go on floors very soon.
