Silambarasan TR is currently shooting for his next film titled Arasan, directed by Vetrimaaran. Earlier, the makers had announced that Vijay Sethupathi would play an important role in the film, with many speculating that he would play the main antagonist.
Now, the actor himself has revealed that he was unaware of his role in the film and agreed to be a part of it only because Vetrimaaran asked him.
Vijay Sethupathi admits to being unaware of his role in Arasan
Speaking at the Behindwoods awards ceremony, Vijay Sethupathi said, “I didn’t know anything about my role. While writing the story, Vetrimaaran sir thought of me for this character. The fact that I came to his mind is a great pleasure in itself. I told him, ‘Sir, go ahead and write it.’ He is a talented director. “His knowledge and care is profound.”
The actor further added, “If you can learn so much just by talking to someone, imagine how much you can learn while working with them. Working with Vetrimaaran sir is a relaxing pleasure. I didn’t even look at how many days of shooting there would be. When he asked me, I just said, ‘I’m coming.'”
More information about Arasana
Arasan is a gangster action drama starring Silambarasan TR in the lead role, marking his first collaboration with director Vetrimaaran. The film revolves around a man who faces a legal case in court, pleading innocence. However, in flashbacks, he is revealed to be responsible for several violent crimes, leading to a blood-soaked tale.
The film is based on the Vada Chennai cinematic universe, but is not a sequel to the Dhanush starrer. Instead, it serves as a spin-off, which is expected to feature several overlapping characters.
Although more details about the film have not been revealed yet, Anirudh Ravichander has been confirmed as the composer, marking his first feature-film collaboration with STR after their infamous single, “Beep Song”.
The official announcement was shared by the makers through an announcement teaser featuring Nelson Dilipkumar. Additionally, the producer recently shared set photos from the shoot, confirming that filming is currently underway.
