Vijay Sethupathi, recently seen playing a trans woman character in Super Deluxe, is currently for shooting SP Jananathan’s Laabam, which also stars Shruti Haasan as the leading lady.
With nearly half a dozen projects in the making, Sethupathi has taken time out to don the hat of a writer for upcoming Tamil comedy Chennai Palani Mars, which will be directed by Biju Vishwanath and produced by Vijay himself under the banner of Vijay Sethupathi Productions.
Having previously worked together in Orange Mittai, Biju and Vijay have pinned high hopes on this project. It’s worth mentioning that Vijay had played a much elderly character in Orange Mittai, which bombed at the box-office.
Tipped to be a rural comedy with space connection, the film will mostly feature newcomers and the first look will be unveiled on May 22. An announcement regarding the same was made by Vijay on Twitter on Sunday via a poster, which features a little boy clad in an astronaut suit.
#ChennaiPalaniMars first look ll be released on 22nd May.

Meanwhile, Vijay currently awaits the release of Sindhubaadh, which has been directed by Arun Kumar and also stars Anjali. The film has been predominantly shot in Thailand. He has just wrapped up Vijay Chander’s Sanga Tamizhan which also stars Raashi Khanna.
