‘Not Even Aamir Khan Could Have Done It…’: Mysskin’s Massive Praise for Vijay Sethupathi’s Performance in Train Turns Heads
At the teaser launch of Train, director Mysskin showered Vijay Sethupathi with extraordinary praise, calling his performance ‘selfless’ and claiming no other star could have portrayed the role the same way.
Director Mysskin has made headlines with his heartfelt praise for Vijay Sethupathi during the grand teaser launch of their upcoming action thriller Train. The filmmaker, known for his unconventional storytelling, described the actor’s performance as one of the finest he has ever witnessed and even suggested that the role was tailor-made for Sethupathi.
Speaking at the event, Mysskin said he could not imagine any other actor stepping into the character. He remarked that even legendary stars such as Kamal Haasan or Aamir Khan would not have been able to deliver the role in the same way because the script naturally belonged to Vijay Sethupathi.
The filmmaker went on to compare the actor to a “massive volcano,” explaining that every time he watches scenes from the film, he is amazed by the intensity and emotional depth Sethupathi brings to the screen.
Mysskin also made it clear that he was not trying to promote the film with exaggerated claims. Instead, he said the audience would ultimately decide whether Train succeeds. Confident about the film’s quality, the director added that if the movie failed to impress viewers, he would accept their criticism without hesitation.
‘A Selfless Performance I Will Never Forget’
The director reserved his biggest compliment for Vijay Sethupathi’s dedication to the role. According to Mysskin, the actor delivered a completely selfless performance, putting the character ahead of his own star image.
He further revealed that although he never had the opportunity to work with legendary international actors like Laurence Olivier or Choi Min-sik, collaborating with Vijay Sethupathi gave him a similarly fulfilling creative experience.
