On the work front
Vijay was last seen in the sports-drama Bigil in 2019. Directed by Atlee, the film went on to break box office records despite getting mixed reviews. The actor was set to appear in the highly anticipated Master, this April. The film was put on hold due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. Directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj, it will be the first time Vijay will face-off with Vijay Sethupathi in a film.
