Vijaya Gurunatha Sethupathi, also known as Vijay Sethupathi, is most recognised for his work in Tamil films, but he has been able to become well-known in part because to his frequent appearances in Hindi, Telugu, Malayalam, and Kannada films. Formerly working as an NRI accountant in Dubai, Vijay started his acting career from the bottom and worked his way up, first appearing in supporting roles and background roles before bagging his first starring role in Seenu Ramasamy’s 2010 film “Thenmerku Paruvakaatru.” Through his roles in a number of critically acclaimed and financially lucrative films, including as “Sundarapandian,” “Pizza,” and “Naduvula Konjam Pakkatha Kaanom,” Vijay was able to quickly build up a sizable fan base.
By appearing in several Tamil films, including “Idharkuthane Aasaipattai Balakumara,” “Pannaiyarum Padminiyum,” “Kadhalum Kadandhu Pogum,” “Iraivi,” “Vikram Vedha,” “Super Deluxe,” and “Vikram,” Vijay further solidified his position as one of the most prominent South Indian actors. He has received various honours for his riveting performances throughout his acting career, including a National Film Award, two Filmfare Awards South, and two Tamil Nadu State Film Awards. Many of our readers must be eagerly anticipating Vijay’s upcoming endeavours after his most recent subpar performance in the Shah Rukh Khan movie “Jawan.” Here is a list of all the forthcoming films and television programmes starring Vijay Sethupathi.
Gandhi Talks (2023)
Gandhi Talks, a silent comedy film written and directed by Kishor Pandurang Belekar, also stars Nilesh Divekar, Aditi Rao Hydari, Mahesh Manjrekar, Arvind Swami, and Priyadarshini Indalkar. Vijay Sethupathi plays one of the main roles. Although the specifics of the plot are unknown, the movie is referred to as a dark comedy. Variety said in October 2022 that “Gandhi Talks” would be made available to everyone in 2023.
HIT 3 (TBA)
The third film in the “HIT” series and the sequel to “HIT: The Second Case” will be titled “HIT 3,” and Vijay Sethupathi is set to play the lead role.

‘Idam Porul Yaeval,’ a Tamil language drama film written and directed by Seenu Ramasamy, was completed in production in April 2014 with Vijay Sethupathi, Vishnu Vishal, Aishwarya Rajesh, and Nandita Swetha, but the project hasn’t been released yet. The main characters of the story are Pandi and Aasathambi, who engage in a bloody struggle in the games of money and life. The financial position of the Thirupathi Brothers and the COVID-19 lockdown in India were the causes of the release’s postponement. It was hinted that it would be launched soon back in October 2022, but no specific release date was given.

In the H. Vinoth-directed film “KH233,” Kamal Haasan will play the lead character, with Vijay Sethupathi playing a supporting part. It is referred to as a social film that focuses primarily on agriculture and farmer life in rural areas. Given that it is expected to start construction in 2024, its release date could fall around 2025.
