Vijay's publicist Yuvraaj has shared this news on Twitter, and he also clarified unlike the speculations, he isn't playing the negative lead in a Telugu film. He tweeted, "This is to clarify that #VijaySethupathi sir is doing a negative role only in #ShahRukhKhan sir’s Jawan at this point and that he is not playing a negative role in any other Telugu projects as is being speculated.”
Here's the tweet
The speculation of Vijay's casting in Jawaan emerged when the actor was spotted with SRK at Nayanthara- Vignesh Shivan's wedding. Vijay has left a significant mark by playing the negative character in Kamal Haasan's Vikram. Currently, Sethupathi is filming Sriram Raghvan's Merry Christmas with Katrina Kaif. Earlier there were reports that the makers initially approached the Baahubali star Rana Daggubati for the villain role, but due to his busy schedule, he couldn't be a part of the film, and thus, the makers have now offered the film to the Super Deluxe star.
Recently, Shah Rukh Khan spoke about the film during an Instagram live session, SRK said, “There is still a long way to go. There is not much I can tell you about Jawan except the fact that I am having a great time as an actor. And Atlee, the director, it is a different kind of film. Everybody has seen his work. He makes outstanding mass-oriented films, again a genre I have never done. So, I wanted to try my hands on it. And I think me and Atlee have good chemistry. I bring in some (to the film), he brings in some. Whatever we have done of Jawan is thrilling and exciting.”
