Mani Ratnam’s film: Vijay Sethupathi and Sai Pallavi’s new look goes viral
Acclaimed filmmaker Mani Ratnam is returning to his favorite genre with a new romantic drama starring Vijay Sethupathi and Sai Pallavi in the lead roles.
The film is currently being shot at a brisk pace across West Bengal, with key sequences being filmed on the iconic Howrah Bridge and other picturesque locations. Academy Award-winning composer A.R. Rahman is scoring the music.
The internet has been flooded with on-location stills from the shoot, giving fans their first glimpse of the lead pair.
One of the biggest talking points is Vijay Sethupathi’s makeover. The actor appears completely clean-shaven, without his trademark beard and moustache, marking the first time in several years that he has adopted such a look for a film.
Sai Pallavi, meanwhile, is seen in a simple sleeveless churidar, sporting a much younger appearance that perfectly suits the film’s romantic tone.
The fresh looks of Vijay Sethupathi and Sai Pallavi have already won over fans, with many praising their on-screen chemistry even before the film’s official promotional campaign has begun.
