Malavika & Vijay Sethupathi: A Long-Awaited On-Screen Pairing

Malavika Mohanan and Vijay Sethupathi are set to share the screen for the first time in the upcoming film Pocket Novel. This collaboration marks a significant moment, as the actors had previously been part of projects like "Petta" and "Master" without ever appearing in a scene together.

Mohanan shared her long-standing connection with Sethupathi, describing him as a close family friend. She noted that despite working on two prior films, their professional paths had never aligned until now. This much-anticipated on-screen pairing is a dream come true for both the actors and their fans.

Speaking about Sethupathi's acting process, Mohanan lauded him as a "nuanced, calm but intense performer." She found his meticulous approach and discipline fascinating to observe, highlighting his helpfulness as a co-actor.

When asked about Sethupathi's on-screen roles, Mohanan admitted her bias towards seeing him as a "good guy." However, she acknowledged his remarkable ability to portray villains, stating he can be a "mean baddie" on screen.

Pocket Novel provides an opportunity for Mohanan and Sethupathi to explore their professional chemistry. This film is among Mohanan's upcoming projects, which also include Sardar 2 with Karthi. The anticipation for their first on-screen collaboration is high, fueled by their existing relationship and friendship.
