Vijay Sethupathi talks about the challenge of managing huge stardom 

In an exclusive interview with Pinkvilla, the South star was asked about the challenge of being the ‘Vijay Sethupathi’. To this, he wittily remarked, “Doing nothing. Seriously, just be there and observe people around, what all happen…listen!” He further opined, “Listening is the greatest form that clears everything. So I don’t do anything.”

He further added, “I just came to cinema, I wanted to be a serial artist and then became a hero in the film and then everything it happened, maybe I don’t take life that serious. I’m just the flow,” leaving the audience cheering and clapping for him.

He further continued by sharing, “When you have a target and you want to achieve something, it’s like already chalna bahut mushkil hai to upar aur zyada vazan rahega aur bhi mushkil ho jaayega (you have a long journey to cover and with mental pressure it will become even more difficult)."
