A source from the film’s unit told Silverscreen, “The film is almost over with just one portion left to be shot. In it, Sethupathi will appear as a 25-year-old. The 38-year-old actor has asked for a month’s time to sport a young look. First, he has to shave off his beard, which will take time as he is shooting for a couple of other films in that beard look. Once he wraps up those films, he will get back to work for our film.”

Sethupathi plays a tribal leader in this film, which is extensively shot in the forest areas of Andhra Pradesh. He sports eight different looks in this film and this 25-year-old is one among them.

He recently finished filming for R Paneerselvam’s Karuppan, and will film for Balaji Tharaneetharan’s Seethakathi this year. He also has Maamanidhan — a political-drama film with Seenu Ramasamy.
