Vijay Sethupathi's ex-neighbour Prasanna on the actor

Vikram Vedha starring Vijay Sethupathi and Madhavan is being appreciated by one and all. Prasanna, a former neighbour of Vijay Sethupathi in his pre-film-entry days had posted a lengthy and emotional content about the Soodhu Kavvum hero. We caught up with Prasanna to know more about this.

 

Apparently, Vijay Sethupathi and Prasanna lived in an apartment in Kodambakkam when the actor was struggling to get a foothold in the industry. Prasanna recalls, “He used to talk just like how he does now, in those days too, with the same voice modulation. He was ready to do any kind of work then. Now, I also don’t live in that apartment anymore. I am a CA final student. I am also passionate about acting. Vijay Sethupathi anna is my inspiration”.


Prasanna’s FB post is as follows:


"Vijay Sethupathi,
Unga ellaarayum vida enaku avara konjam munnaadiyae theriyum nu light ah garvathoda sollikiraen      
Neraya peru solraanga inniki avar oru "piravi nadigan" nu
Oru vennayum kedayaathu!  
Avara
apdi solradha vida oru periya insult edhuvum kedayaadhu
Insult to the hard work that he has put in to reach this level
Oru
kadha soltaa sir?
Koothu pattarai la Accountant ah irundhaaru
Padi padiya munneri
Periya actor aaytaaru
Andha kadha thaana?
Adhaan illa


Dubai la pooyi sambaarikalaam nu poyitu, verum kai oda thirumbi vandhutu, neraya kaasu sambaarikanum nu aasai mattum irundhu, epdi sambaarikradhu nu theriyaama irukrapa
Evano oruthan oru photographer pora pokkula, "Unga kannu nallaa iruku, photogenic face, cinema la try panni paarunga" nu sonnadha keatu
Studio studio va yeri erangi
Velaikum pogaama
Wife oda sambalatha vachu family ah run pannitu
Kadaisila podhum da saami, idhuku mela mudiyaadhu, edhavadhu velaiku poganum nu mudivu panni,
Andha nerathula mineral water can supply panra business la irundha ennoda Amma kitta
"Edhavadhu vela irundha sollunga, water can thookitu pooyi podra vela irundha kooda kudunga" nu kettaru
Adhellam venaam, thodarnthu try pannunga, ungaluku chance kedaikum nu enga Amma sonnanga


Few short films and serials happened
His son (Suriya) would come and tell me
"Enga Appa indha padathula oru scene la varaaru,paarunga"
"Enga Appa indha serial la nadikiraaru,paarunga"
His father passed away
The man whom he loved the most
Unable to live in the same apartment, his family shifted out of our apartment (Yes, VJS is my "ex-neighbour")


Few years later, Pizza happened  <3
After Soodhu Kavvum, I wanted to meet him
Somehow got his number, he recognized me, we met in a dubbing studio!
My father: Seri hero aayitaan, aanaa innum ethana naal? 3-4 padam pannuvaan, apram avalo than


4 years later
Appa: Kamal Haasan, Kamal Haasan thaan
Madras Tamil ah idha vida yaaru nalla pesa mudiyum?
Me: Appa Vijay Sethupathi?
Appa: Kamal Haasan, Vikram ku aduthu VJS thaan
Me: Seri Vikram Vedha pogalaama?
Amma, Appa mattrum naan
Vikram Vedha!

VJS no where to be seen for at least 20 mins into the movie
Then came one of the best intros ever in Tamil cinema
The entire audience screaming and going crazy


He smiled
I cried
Years of toil
Only for this moment
Anybody can become anything if they want it with all their heart and work towards it passionately!  <3
Thank you for inspiring, Vijay Sethupathi"
