Shah Rukh Khan is gearing up for his upcoming film Jawan, directed by Atlee. It is now being said that Vijay Sethupathi has been roped in to play the role of an antagonist, who will go one on one against SRK in the film. Amid the reports, an old video of SRK praising Vijay is going viral on the internet.
In the video, Shah Rukh tells Vijay, “I don’t know how to say this and I want to compliment you. You are the most wonderful actor I have ever seen in my life.” Vijay, who is sitting next to him, looks at SRK in disbelief as he gets showered by words of praise.
The video dates back to 2019 when Shah Rukh and Vijay along with Karan Johar addressed the press conference at the 10th edition of the Indian Film Festival of Melbourne. Vijay bagged the Best Actor award for Super Deluxe. The other nominees in the category were Amitabh Bachchan for Badla, Ayushmann Khurrana for Andhadhun, Manoj Bajpayee for Bhonsle, Namdev Gaurav for Namdev Bhau, Ranveer Singh for Gully Boy and Vicky Kaushal for Uri: The Surgical Strike.
