Vijay Sethupathi Reacts On Bagging A National Award For Super Deluxe: “I Have Stopped Going To Award Functions”

Vijay Sethupathi isn’t just a Tamil star anymore. Especially, after Master‘s tremendous success, the actor has become a PAN India name. While Master made his Bhavani a household name, it’s his act of transgender in Super Deluxe that gave him recognition of another level.

Recently, the actor was honoured by the National Films Awards‘ jury as he was announced as the winner in the Best Supporting Actor category. He has been recognised for his 2019 film Super Deluxe. For the unversed, 2019’s films were scheduled to be honoured back in 2020 itself but Covid-19 spoilt all the plans. Last year’s content will now be awarded this year.

Vijay Sethupathi spoke to Hindustan Times on reacting to his National Award win. He said, “When I work, I don’t expect any awards. For the past two years, I have stopped going to award functions. The news of winning the National Film Award came as a surprise. When people started wishing me, I didn’t even know how to react.”
