Join UsVijay Sethupathi has just won big at Indian Film Festival of Melbourne along with Shah Rukh Khan who won an award for ‘IFFM Excellence in Cinema’ and Karan Johar for ‘Celebrating 20 years of Kuch Kuch Hota Hai’. Vijay won the ‘IFFM Best Actor Award’ for Super Deluxe which also had Samantha Akkineni in the lead role.
In an interview with Pinkvilla, Vijay spoke about how he’s feeling on winning this award and said, “This is the first time I am in Melbourne Australia and I am so happy to be getting an award for this film. I can’t thank my director and Mitu enough. I was begging for the role when the director narrated it to me. I had no idea how to even go about it but I was so interested by the part. I am the kind of actor who doesn’t do much homework. I don’t prepare much so I would go to the set and let spontaneity take over. But my first shot took 50-60 takes because I couldn’t find that character in me. My EP bailed me out – she taught me how to stand like a woman, behave like a woman, get her mannerisms. The character of Shilpa has been a huge learning lesson for me.”
