He added, “I am currently acting in a movie directed by Pon Ram sir. The sword comes across as an important character in the movie and hence I cut the cake with that alongside the crew members. Many of them told me that this will set a wrong precedent. Henceforth, I will be more cautious about these things. If the act has hurt anyone, I apologize for that.”

On the work front, Vijay Sethupathi has been garnering a positive response from the audience and the film critics alike for his performance in his latest release Master.
