New Delhi: Tamil Superstar Vijay Sethupathi will soon be seen in a Bollywood film titled 'Gandhi Talks'. On his 43rd birthday, the Vikram Vedha actor announced his next movie Gandhi Talks. Vijay shared the first look poster of the movie on social media.

"This project has been very close to my heart and when the actor himself relates with the idea and same emotions, it is really a boon for the director. For me Vijay Sethupathi is that actor who can justify this challenging script with his performance. As soon as Vijay read the script, he completely understood my vision and approach towards the film," said Belekar.
"Every director is looking for certain types of characteristics in his actors. While I was searching for the lead in B-Town, I also started looking in alternate industries and that's how I came across Vijay Sethupathi. His acting skills, style statement, and vocal dynamism are stupendous and that's when I felt I found my lead star," the filmmaker added.
Belekar feels Vijay Sethupati's disposition also makes working with him an easy affair. "He is not only prodigious but very down to earth and an anti-propagandist star, who breaks barriers of image for his films. I am really excited to work with him and start my dream project as soon as possible."
Meanwhile, there are reports that Vijay will soon be making his big Bollywood debut.
