In Vijay Sethupathi’s new Tamil rom-com Kaathuvaakula Rendu Kaadhal Vijay plays a man sandwiched between two women, played by the lovely Nayanthara and Samantha.
However there is mention of a third women at the end of the film.And she is none other than Katrina Kaif. Vijay who is shooting with Katrina for Srirram Raghavan’s Merry Christmas , actually took Katrina’s consent before using her name in Kaathuvaakula Rendu Kaadhal.
This is such a refreshing change from other South Indian films where famous actresses are casually named in boys-celebrating-hormonal-brotherhood conversations.
Vijay says it is pleasure to work with Katrina. “It’s lovely to work with her. She is professional and very committed to her part. Sriram has collected a terrific team for Merry Christmas and I can’t wait to see how it finally shapes up.”
As far as unusual combinations go, this one takes the cake and the bakery. Bollywood’s most glamorous screen queen Katrina Kaif paired on screen with Tamil cinema’s resident method-actor Vijay Sethupati who has played everything , from a transgender in Super Deluxe to social activist K R Ramaswamy in Traffic Ramaswamy. I can’t think of a more unlikely screen combination than this.And yet director Sriram Raghavan, always known to venture into forbidden territory is bringing Kaif and Sethupathi together.
“Audiences will love the combination,” promises Vijay.
