Hyderabad: South superstar Vijay Sethupathi, whose fandom is gradually crossing the borders and blurring language barriers, essayed the role of a deadly villain in recently released superhit film Master. The actor said director Lokesh Kanagraj and he were mindful of not glorifying his evil act.
In Master, Vijay plays Bhavani who uses loopholes in law in his favour and makes minors commit heinous crimes. Talking to a tabloid, Vijay has revealed that pulling off the dark character was not easy for him. Sharing his experience of turning baddie onscreen, Vijay said, "My director Lokesh Kanagraj and I had to be very careful about not making my character Bhavani’s evil look attractive. I believe it is cinema’s responsibility to not glorify evil."
The actor also said that he had to tap into the dark side of his personality to bring Bhavani alive onscreen. "Whether it is good or evil, it is all within all of us. It’s up to us to tap which side of our personality we want to show. I can tell you with confidence that I am not a basically good guy. But I want to be a good guy," the '96 actor further added.
