Vijay Sethupathi is busy promoting his upcoming movie ‘Viduthalai Part 2’, directed by
Vetrimaaran. During a recent conversation, the actor finally shared his opinion about the box-office setback of
Thalapathy Vijay’s ‘GOAT (The Greatest Of All Time)’ and
Suriya’s ‘Kanguva’ this year, particularly in the Telugu-speaking states.
In an interview with The Great Andhra, the ‘Maharaja’ actor was asked about the setback faced by both ‘The GOAT’ and ‘Kanguva’ at the Telugu box office earlier this year. Sethupathi promptly responded: “When I come for the promotion of my film, why should I talk about all this? Why should we talk about this?”

The actor addressed past trolling and discussed the nature of investments in the film industry, highlighting how everyone hopes for success, regardless of the outcome. “Be it a hit or a flop, people invest in films, hoping they will succeed. Even now, before we release a film, we show it to people. Every film, even my flop films, is shown to audiences before release to gauge general opinion,” the ‘Vikram’ actor emphasised.
