Actor Vijay Sethupathi may be one of the most successful actors out there. However, as a producer, he has faced financial struggles.
Sangu Thevan was intended to be his debut production around 2013. He even grew a specific handlebar mustache for the role, but the project was eventually dropped. He lost Rs 1.75 Cr. The worst was yet to come.
Orange Mittai, Merku Thodarchi Malai, Junga, and Laabam in the following years were flops. These are all films produced under his banner, Vijay Sethupathi Productions. While MTM was a critically acclaimed National Award winner, the Uppena actor has admitted that these projects were not commercially successful and resulted in personal financial setbacks. He lost approximately Rs 11 Cr on Junga.
Vijay Sethupathi was most recently seen in Gandhi Talks, a silent movie that didn't fare well at the box office. It co-starred Arvind Swami. Puri Jagannadh's multi-lingual movie, SLUMDOG - 33 Temple Road, is his next major multi-lingual release. It co-stars Samyuktha, Duniya Vijay Kumar and Tabu.
