Not just movies, Vijay Sethupathi's interviews are absolute entertainment. Loved how the crowd kept backing him all the way.
You are absolute right. Plus this man is bloody philosophical, having his first 10 years of career was a mad struggle
If you understand tamil, you would enjoy the best interviews in tamil
I love how the crowd are sooo uss 🔥
Check out his Tamil interviews🎉, he’s a genius ❤
👍💯
I have never seen such a down-to-earth star in history of Indian Cinema like Vijay.
Watch South Indian movie stars, every actor of South are like this.
Check out his Tamil I terviews🎉, he’s a genius ❤
In south its common bro. Take late puneeth rajkumar..such a big star son..and he himself a big star.. but puneet used to visit random fan's house for lunch at times 😮 wow which film star does that..
Lol most of the part in south it's there humbleness but north people don't know there talent or there creation bollywood stole concept n release in hindi in north now people from north getting to know south stars after internet is available to every one
What does that mean down to earth ...every person is down to earth ...you have hyped that word
Katrina was honest and sincere. Vijay Sethupathi was so simple, humble and adorable. Sriram was very confident and unassuming...wonderfully produced backed by a super audience 🎉 ❤🎉 ❤
The mad claps for Vijay sethupathi would mean the world for him. The struggle in the first 10+ years. It’s really mad.
What a bloody good audience they were! Absolutely amazing energy and vibe across the hall. Pure joy.
Glad to say I was there...
@@versaillesthyou lucky felloowww 😂😂
I don't know why. But, Katrina didn't get any applause when anchor talked BO no.1, next moment VJS 50th film had huge reaction. As a Tamilian and big fan of him, I felt sad although I should've been happier
@@chandraprabhu800 Yeah felt like the audience was clapping even if he coughed
Mein bhi wahi tha 😂😂
The fact that the audience are waiting eagerly for VJS to complete his sentences when he is searching for the right words, instead of tuning out is fascinating!!!! ❤
Every member of the audience should be given 5 rupees coin at the exit as a token of appreciation. What an energetic crowd ❤
Exactly
Fake Audience sound😂
gaurva machin , 5 rupees , main ek ciggerette bhi nahi milega
@@MithunKumar-qn9xv bidi toh mil hi jayegi.or vimal
I was also there fake audience nahi thi sab Vijay sir ke fans the ❤
I don't know why, I paused and replay only Vijay sethupathi clips in this video.. he is so cool and funny 🤣
Just like I did as well.. and it was as exciting as the first time..
Here too dear.. ❤
Queen Katrina is such a phenomenal person inside and out ❤
I could listen to Vijay Sethupathy for another hour, his answers are very insightful
Yes❤
👍
"if my pain has an image then I can draw it and show it to you" WOW ‼
Katrina kaif is such an amazing person. She has always been marvelous in her interviews. ❤
The best part of this interview is not just their good conversation the whole crowd and how they enjoyed Vijay Sethupathi is absolute pleasure to watch ❤
The Sethupathi effect! Oof. He’s a magician of an actor. Effortless in delivery. He's really in a class of his own and one of the best out there. Phone rings in the middle of a big interview being livestreamed with a live audience, doesnt get more down-to-earth than this 😅. From the 2019 FC roundtable he did, i never would have guessed he would do anything outside of Tamil cinema. He seemed deadset against the idea of collaboration outside of the south.
Check out his Tamil I terviews🎉, he’s a genius ❤
Katrina Kaif is a Legend. Beautiful, Classy, and Elegant!
😂😂😂
@@anirudh6386laugh all you want but it’s the truth. Stay bitter
Sriram Raghavan has never disappointed me. I am eagerly waiting for Merry Christmas
Superb movie.Just watched it
Man can't stop smiling at anything VJS says ❤
Super keen for the movie! All best team
Katrina and Sethupathi is such an unusual pairing you want badly to watch the film on that merit alone.
I love when Vijay Sir talks in Hindi. He is sooo charming, witty and funny when he speaks.
How refreshing to see three down to earth humans on screen. I really hope the audiences back Merry Christmas
I really like the fact that katrina mentioned about 12th Fail, it's a good movie ❤..she has always been a well spoken person
Not just the interview this comment section also filled with love and happiness ❤❤, I don't know why this video made me calm❤
From decades I followed how gracefully Katrina dressed in public programs. She is fabulous and cultured.
Loved the fact that Anupama Mam Introduced Vijay Sir With Saying MakalSelvam Vijay Sethupathi not many interviewers in North introduce them with this name
Love Vijay Sethupathi Sir, Down to earth person ! Thank you Film Companion for bringing him on board

Thank you
Thank you ❤
Just put anupama Chopra portions also for those who want to avoid her. Bias speeches 😂
Who is maharaja?
Am I the only one who fast-forwarded to the Vijay Sethupathi portions?
😅Dont you like him
Katrina is super talented, I am from Malaysia and I adore her dance, her acting and her personality. She is an inspiration. I really hope good scripts come to her. When katrina wins, it feels very personal.
Why? You're related? Bloody Good "Halo effect" it seems
Just Vijay Sethupathi being himself.. Damn... His swag is on point🔥
Vijay Sethupudi is so unintentionally hilarious, he's a walking comedy skit lmao.
He has a massive poker face timing, it's just that he's not used to the massive paparazzi & inhibitions....
Yet hilarious nonetheless 😂😂
Vj sir is honest....shy...and just pure love
The last scene when vijay sethipathi doesn't says anything but says everything is fantastic of this film. He is a phenomenal actor.
South actors are much more open in interview than Bollywood actors 😎
The three of them are so well spoken!
Genuine crowd that made this interview very relatable and enjoyable 🎉
How can one not become a fan of Him!!!! 🔥
Thank you FC for this!! Soo excited for a sriram Raghavan movie with vijay and Katerina ❤
Also always a fan of Anu ma'am!
Big fan of katrinaaaaa n Vijay ❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
There are several moments of VJS in this interview which I am re-watching continuously. ...
Liked the way he answered the questions and interacted with audience, Kudos to audience as well for such response.
A Sriram Raghavan film for me is a must watch & when it stars the beautiful, intelligent, well spoken Katrina Kaif in a different role & the true Makkal Selvan in Vijay Setupathi ...what can one say
To watch Vijay getting more cheers & love from the audience inspite of a beauty on the same stage says a lot of his popularity Pan-India . He's humble, intelligent, witty & can understand him trying to say how more exposure nowadays can take away the aura & magic of an actor .
To hear Katrina laugh embarassedly when Vijay says he learns from everyone including Katrina shows in what high regard she holds him as an actor & to say only she got homework for preparation not top of the class Vijay Setupathi :)
And myself first discovering this great talent in Vikram- Vedha...just blown away & a huge fan myself of Vijay Setupathi.
Nice to hear how a director thinks or works & how actors approach or are told to approach a role.
Great chat show episode.
You should definetly watch the movie he talked about "Idharku thaanay aasai pattai balakumara", which film's character he says as favourite "Sumar moonji kumar". I swear you'll have a good time if the dubbings didnt fail you!
This was so fun to watch. the environment, the audience everything was felt was written to be a fantastic time. The fans loved Vijay Sethupathi a little too much deservingly. Can't wait to catch this movie❤️😊
Everybody on the stage ❤❤❤ and Mr Vijay Sethupathi's hilarious 😂
This was really amazing experience to see celebrities in person. Liked the Anupama Chopra Mam's way of interacting with celebrities and doing movie reviews
I am the only one who wants a separate 3hr interview of Vijay sethupathi alone
No, you're not the only one. I would love to see a full 3hr 4hr interview with Vijay Setupathi sir. JUST can't get enough of him and was waiting for his turn to speak throughout the whole interview.
This movie really give big opportunity to katrina mam for the first time to experience and excel in her craft because in most of her she didn't get that diginified role and opportunity😢. We should respect everyone hardwork and journey. Vijay sir evolution is commendable 👍.
Katrina mam journey is so different and now she need to play significant role. She was so beautiful in her younger days😊 but now it's like bitter sweet. All the best to entire team. 😊
She is still very beautiful...but her acting is genuinely bad, though hardworking...hope this project pushes her potential
@@chaitraa2529 yes 👍
@@chaitraa2529her acting isn’t bad. I think that’s a stretch she can do comedy very well and even emotional roles quite well
Going First day First show with my family 😍❤ love you Katrina ❤❤ damn excited for the movie 😍😍
Excited for Merry Christmas 😍
This movie is going to be a classic. Congratulations Team Merry Christmas in advance ❤️ 💙
Vijay Sethupathi is ❤❤❤. Such an humble actor, so much to learn from him.
Luk..This is how he answers in his early days to tamil audiences with his simplicity...He got attention & seeked.Slowly & Rapidly he became one of the top heroes in tamil industry..After he had grown to that position sometimes he will be straight forward to the interviewer with answers that sounds vry natural..In Bollywood now this is his early days...Now he may keep attention seeking with his simple answers coz dat sounds lil difrnt & unique..But i can say he is a wonderful actor with acting skills & can do any character roles..👍👍😘😘
Katrinakaif ❤❤❤
Vijay Sir is too funny! The audience is lapping up every single word.
Clap
I can hear him for hours n hours ........❤❤❤❤❤
Vijay is the man! So humble and genuine. A real star.
We all love you Vijay sethupathi sir!!♥️
You superstar girl❤❤❤❤❤katrinaaaaa ❤️ ✨️ 😍
This is indeed a great trio! An absolute delight in interviews ❤
Vijay sir waching you in a movie or interview is one of the best time to spend on..
48:26 Bro! Katrina took my name 😳😂 what a great start to 2024!
How does it feel to live my dream 😅😅
@@seventeencarat7090 Arey bohot mazaa aa riyaa hai! Mausam toh aisa ho riyaa hai Dil garden garden ho riyaa hai!
When did u wrote? Hw does it happen
@@anirudh6386 the question just came into my mind while signing up for this interview, then (cut to) just few minutes before it started, I just discussed the question with my friend, (as you may have seen in the video, he's sitting right next to me) and he improved it in a way I could ask from all three of them in a single question without taking much time and let the conversation flow... yeah so that's how it happened... btw thanks for asking man!
Ooo! What a person VS is! Brilliant actor too! Didn't know he was the one in Super Deluxe😮!
He is a real blessing for Indian cinema and soon all stars will be Indian stars ..
The best pair that we don't know that we needed❤😊
The character that Vijay named first “Sumaru moonji Kumaru” is from the film “Idharkuthane Aasaipattai Balakumara” if anybody wants to know! 48:56
Kumudhaaaa happy annachi 🫂
Fans !!!!!!!!!!!! FAns !!!!!!!!!! Fannnnnnnsss!!!!!!! VIJAY SIR HATSOFF!!!! to the beautiful audience too... because suchhhaa support in MUMBAI AMAZZZINNGGGG !!!!! they are FULLYYYY clear who the REAL GEM is.... their target is clear. They came for the TRUE ENTERTAINER ... and ofcourse RESPECT to the DIRECTOR too .... Love seeing so much IMMENSE LOVE from audience towards VIJAY garu .
Seenu ramasamy the director who introduce vijay sethupathi as hero said in an interview said that vijay sethupathi dosent need production food.. especially when the shooting is in the rural areas of tamil nadu the local people in that area will cook for him in their homes and will give it to him.. Or he will go to their houses.. He is that kind of personality where everybody treat him as one of the member of their family.. No wonder he is called makkal selvan.. Peoples treasure ❤
Kat❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
So honest Vijjay sir, very enjoyable to listen to him!
The honesty and humility of this man...❤
Vijay Sethupathi Wonderful as an actor and also as an human being
Love from Pakistan 🇵🇰

Die Hardfans ikkada ❤
Vijay Sethupathi is an emotion
My two favourites together...just in love with this pairing ❤❤
Great listening to Sriram Raghavan and VJS . Two genius minds . Points to Katrina who at the cusp of her 40 ‘s is exploring new dimensions to her image. At the risk of sounding slightly over the top Vijay Sethupathy is probably one of the best things that has happened to the cinema audience in this century . Until then in the south and other parts of the country , other than a minority of brilliant performers , many so called mainstream star actors who had minimal to zero talent were existing on a low bar with lazy cliched work , and were grossly overhyped and overpaid. Sadly - Many still are . But Vijay Sethupathy came along as a game changer, like a force of nature , disrupting status quo, taking risks , giving heart and soul to every role and showing his peers and audience what REAL ACTING is by elevating every character and story beyond the ordinary . In the past few years many faded stars and faltering actors have reached out for a lifeline and actively sought collaborations and co acted with him to make themselves freshly relevant , to resuscitate and save their sinking careers . The strategy appears to have been to feature themselves in projects in meaty roles opposite him making themselves look good, subtly or overtly winning over him in the storyline but yet the discerning audience can see that without the massive counterbalancing phenomenon of VJS ‘s natural brilliance contributing to the narrative the success of the film would be just average and audience response to the star pretty ordinary at best . With the juxtaposition of the two forces however the cash registers ring merrily at the box office . And so the formula has been to tap into Vijay Sethupathy’s cool aura by sharing space and basking in his reflected glory . Even if the director casts him as a villain, opposite a classic hero stereotype he is able to shine bright , derive strong empathy and admiration …that’s his unique brand of magic . Sure, in his career graph growth process there have been both hits and misses , and even some cringe moments in roles that were directorial missteps he didn’t foresee and smartly avoid as an actor , but his legions of fans accept it all knowing he is always striving for personal excellence and fearless experimentation on screen . Needless to say the delightful part is also his off screen persona filled with simplicity , charm and witty sincere self deprecation . This always wins hearts and endears him to all .
Everyone can learn something about being real from this man.
Truth is the movie industry timeline can be demarcated into BVS ( before Vijay sethupathi ) DVS ( during Vijay sethupathy ) and AVS ( after Vijay sethupathy ) . Such is his impressive body of work , inspiration, influence. Only after he broke the mould did many complacent old actors and aspiring ones wake up get schooled and understand what acting is all about . Salute . Look forward to much more from this great actor in the years ahead . Very Best wishes to all the cast and crew of this movie .
From VJS fan heart thank you ❤️
Appreciate the time you took to type this lengthy comment. It's insightful and the language is well augmented by elevated vocabulary as well as the flow of ideas. I doubt that a shallow over-enthusiastic person could write such a comment. I don't know about you, but you may shine well if you took writing as your profession. All the best 👍💯
Chat gpt se likhaya hai kya yeh comment?
Haha , I take that as a compliment . But to answer your question sir , no . Some of us know how to use our brains , are analytical and articulate , have a reasonably good vocabulary and know how to write opinions on our own without extra assistance from AI or other humans . Have a good day 😀
Broski wrote an entire essay😭😭(I read the whole thing❤)
Excellent audience.... ❤Amazing interview....we could see only Maria in the movie... Totally enjoyed katrina mam's acting... Well made film...
Can't wait for this masterpiece 😍😍
Missing Sriram Raghvan's movies in theater is a mistake. Can't wait for Merry Christmas
I'm so excited for this movie. This is a casting coup.
Audience passed the vibe check with distinction
Katrina kaif career can change with Merry Christmas. This movie can be gamechanger for her ..
Energetic Audience ❤ We are Proud of Vijay Sethupathi Sir ☺️ #makkalselvan ##vijaysethupathi
Never thought I'd see a tamil actor speak more hindi than a Hindi actor.
Stop lying please kat speaks better hindi than him and kat is not indian to call her a hindi actor tell that to ananya and alia kareena who speak english she just works in bollywood when they all love speak english more than their mother language so it was diffecult to her to learn it fast but in the end she learnt it and she knows about india more than that alia who doesn't even know who's india president or kareena who doesn't understund much hindi🥴
Katrina was speaking hindi so maybe you should clean your ears
Achaa matlab India orgin hone ke wabajud Hindi thik se nehi nol pate and u r talking about Hindi actor,nd actress
love to see how well he has improved his hindi diction . amazing !
Sethu doing sambavam in North❤
96 is one of the best Of VS ..and am sure many would be feeling same with that story related To themselfes ..
Awesome Movie....Sriram sir, Vijay Sir nailed it!!
Totally agree
It's lovely of Katrina to mention 12th Fail also tiger 3 would've been much bigger in numbers just a bad release strategy around World Cup ofcourse and the diwali but was great to watch a female star on that level in terms of screentime and scale that too in Salman Khan yrf big budget film where actresses are barely seen.
Bro its not bcz of wc, even though cricket fans only interest in wc the main reason is movie is avrg
