What Vijay said

In the interview, when a reported asked Vijay about this topic, he said: “I have spoken about it already. I acted with Krithi Shetty in Uppenna in 2021, and later, a director told me let’s approach her for another film as a heroine. I said no because I had asked her to consider me as a dad during the climax sequence of Uppenna. So, I said no.”

Vijay then went on to add that the same decision on whether to star with the hero in a film lies on the female actor too, saying, “What if she had told me that she doesn’t want to act with me because ‘this man has asked me to consider him as dad’. She can say no also. I have answered this question earlier. Please leave it.”
