Vijay Sethupathi on working with Shah Rukh Khan
Vijay Sethupathi recently recollected working with Shah Rukh Khan in Jawan.
Back in 2023, Shah Rukh Khan and Vijay Sethupathi shared the screen space together in Jawan and since then, the actors share a great bond and have often opened up working with each other. Recently, Sethupathi in an interview gushed about SRK, as he recollected working with him.
In an interview with Cinema Vikatan, when asked about Shah Rukh, Vijay said in Tamil, “I have been surprised to hear Mr Shah Rukh Khan’s voice. He is a great storyteller. His mind is very versatile. I told him in an interview that he is more attractive as a person than a star.”
Earlier in an interview with Hindustan Times, Vijay Sethupathi shared, “I learn something from everyone. What I learned from Shah Rukh Khan is that his energy levels never go down. One day, during the shoot, he was unwell but you just can’t figure it out unless he tells you. That’s an amazing quality he has. He shared a lot of things about me which I felt very happy about. Even what Rajinikanth and Vijay have said about me makes me really happy. I felt happy that they noticed so many aspects about me and my performances.”
Earlier, recalling his first meeting with Shah Rukh, the Farzi actor has said, “I met SRK in Melbourne. I was looking for the chair that mentioned my name and I found mine next to Shah Rukh. He complimented me and I was shocked! At the after-party, he told me that what I said about you was true. SRK treats people equally. I believe actors should treat people equally and the way Shah Rukh treats people is the most lovable trait.”
During a chat with India Today, Vijay had once opened up about shooting with SRK for the first time. “I was nervous on the first day of the shoot, but SRK took care of me like a kid. I was very nervous on day 1, and it was good that my first day of shooting was not with him. But I had a good time. I loved working with SRK,” he had added.
