Vijay Sethupathi made high praises about Shah Rukh Khan after working with him for the Atlee directorial Jawan.

Sethupathi said Shah Rukh Khan was a gentleman who never let his stardom come in the way during their collaboration in the film.

The “Makkal Selvan” also said that they often discussed scenes together and had a great time.

“I had a good time working on Jawan with Atlee and Shah Rukh sir. He (Khan) is a gentleman, he will never show that I am in the industry for so many years and I am the superstar.

“Like, how I work with my co-actors, I could discuss (scenes) with him the same way. And then sometimes I would say, ‘sorry sir, if I disturb you’, he would say, ‘no Vijay, do it’. I was very comfortable with him and he is very sweet,” Sethupathi told PTI in an interview.

Jawan is produced by Khan’s production company Red Chillies Entertainment.

The film will release across five languages — Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, and Kannada — in theatres across the globe on 2 June.

Sethupathi has signed a slew of Hindi films even before the release of his Bollywood debut film Mumbaikar. He is also working on Amazon’s streaming show Farzi with Shahid Kapoor and Raashii Khanna.

“I did a film with Sriram sir (Raghavan), Merry Christmas. I had a great time with Sriram Raghavan, his team, and also Katrina (Kaif). I enjoyed a lot and I learnt a lot,” he said.

“I did one silent film, Gandhi Talks, and then there is Mumbaikar with Santosh Sivan. it is my debut (in Hindi),” the actor said, describing his upcoming projects in Hindi.

Sethupathi, a formidable name in south cinema with hits such as Soodhu Kavvum, 96, Idharkuthane Aasaipattai Balakumara, Iraivi, Super Deluxe, Petta, Master, and Vikram Vedha, has gained popularity in the Hindi belt in recent years after the audience discovered his films through streaming platforms.
