Actors Vijay Sethupathi and Amala Paul have joined hands for the first time in upcoming yet-untitled Tamil film which will feature them in the role of musicians. Tipped to be a romantic musical, the film had its official launch on Friday and it will be directed by Venkata Krishna Rognath, an erstwhile assistant of SP Jananathan.
Currently dubbed VSP33, the first schedule of the project has begun today in Ooty.
Talking to Times of India about the project, Venkat said: “The film revolves around three music composers, played by Vijay Sethupathi, Amala Paul, and a foreign actress. The rivalry and romance between them and how this spills over into the problems that the protagonist is facing in his life form the plot.”
He also said that there will also be another lead character in this film, which will have music by Nivas Prasanna.
Last seen on screen playing a trans woman in Super Deluxe, Vijay Sethupathi has nearly half a dozen new projects in his kitty. The actor currently awaits the release of Sindhubaadh, which has been directed by Arun Kumar and also stars Anjali.
He has just wrapped up another project helmed by Director Vijay Chander titled Sanga Tamizhan which also stars Raashi Khanna. Vijay also has Telugu film Sye Raa Narasimha Reddy with megastar Chiranjeevi. He has recently signed his second Telugu film opposite Vaishnav Tej. To be titled yet, the film will be directed by Buchi Babu and Mythrie Movie Makers and director Sukumar’s Sukumar Writings will be bankrolling this film.
Amala Paul, who was last seen in serial killer thriller Raatsasan, hasn’t signed any new Tamil projects in a while. She currently awaits the release of Aadai and Adho Andha Paravai Pola, both action-based scripts which feature her in roles unlike anything she’s done so far in her career.
There are also reports that Amala might have landed an important role in Mani Ratnam’s film adaptation of Ponniyin Selvan. She also awaits the release of her maiden Hindi film which also stars Arjun Rampal. In Malayalam, Amala has director Blessy’s Aadujeevitham in the pipeline.
