Despite its three-hour runtime, ‘Super Deluxe’ obtained overwhelmingly optimistic opinions from critics. Directed by Thiagarajan Kumararaja, the movie intricately weaved collectively 4 teams of people dealing with sudden predicaments, exploring themes of nostalgia, science-fiction and political incidents.

Earlier, Sethupathi had shared how adamant he was to do Super Deluxe after listening to its script that he even agreed to do the half with out being paid a single penny. In an outdated interview with Film Companion, Vijay Sethupathi opened up about being touched by the script and mentioned, “When he (Kumararaja) narrated the script, I liked it so much. The way it was written was so awesome. In one scene, my kid asks me why I was not born as a female. That scene was written so well that I decided that I don’t want to miss this film. I begged him (the director), told him that you don’t need to pay me any money. On the first day, I think it took 50-60 takes. Then finally, I realised the female inside me. I got the confidence.”

Currently, Vijay Sethupathi is busy selling his upcoming movie Merry Christmas together with co-actor Katrina Kaif and filmmaker Sriram Raghavan. This marks Sethupathi’s first collaboration with Katrina Kaif, following his position as an antagonist in Shah Rukh Khan’s blockbuster Jawan. Merry Christmas is about to hit the theatres on January 12.
