Talking about his bond with Shah Rukh Khan post-Jawan, 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.”
Vijay who played the antagonist in Jawan, opened up about not wanting to play villain roles going forward, because it invites competition with the lead star. He said that he would instead want to do romantic films.
