In a conversation with Behindwoods, the Jawan actor said, "I declined the offer of being paired opposite Krithi in the DSP movie. I played her father in Uppena, which the makers didn't know about.”
Vijay Sethupathi continued, “There's a scene in Uppena that Krithi was nervous about when we were shooting. I even asked her to think of me as her real father while we were shooting that.”
The actor further explained, “She is a little older than my son. I told them I couldn't do it."
For the unversed, Krithi was considered to play the female lead in the 2022 released movie DSP, directed by Ponram. However, the Vikram actor refused to work with her as he had played her father in Buchi Babu Sana's Telugu film Uppena earlier.
Later, Anukreethy Vas was roped in to play Vijay's love interest in the film.
However, this is not the first time that the actor has talked about refusing to play Krithi’s love interest in the film. Last year too, Sethupathi spoke openly to the press about requesting the makers to not cast the Bangarraju actress as the heroine.
Vijay shared, “The makers thought that Krithi Shetty would be good as the heroine in the film. When I received her photo, I immediately called the unit and told them I essayed her father in a recently released Telugu film.” “I can’t romantically approach her. So, please avoid her as a heroine,” the actor added.
