Vijay Sethupathi kicks off shoot for Puri Jagannadh's next: 'The raw and real journey begins'
Vijay Sethupathi
is back on set, and this time, he's teaming up with maverick director
Puri Jagannadh
for what's shaping up to be a gritty, emotionally charged ride. The yet-untitled film officially went on floors in Hyderabad with a traditional mahurat puja, marking the beginning of what insiders are calling a 'raw and real' cinematic journey.
A pan-Indian project with mass appeal
The film will be released in five languages—Tamil, Telugu, Hindi, Malayalam, and Kannada.. Puri Jagannadh, known for his high-voltage narratives, took to social media to post group photos with Vijay Sethupathi, lead actress Samyuktha, and members of the production crew. His caption? 'AND IT BEGINS! The raw and real journey of #PuriSethupathi begins on the sets today in Hyderabad.'

The production house also confirmed that key talkie scenes featuring Vijay Sethupathi and Samyuktha are currently being shot as part of a non-stop schedule in the city.
The note read, "Major talkie portions featuring Makkalselvan @actorvijaysethupathi and fierce @iamsamyuktha_ are being canned in this packed schedule and will have a continuous shoot A #PuriJagannadh film Releases in Tamil, Telugu, Hindi, Kannada and Malayalam.

A powerful ensemble cast
While much about the storyline is still tightly under wraps, the casting itself is telling. Veteran actress Tabu has joined the team in a pivotal role, adding even more intrigue to the project. The film is expected to be a heady blend of action, emotion, and psychological drama—very much in line with the director's signature style which we saw in his films 'iSmart Shankar', 'Pokiri', 'Businessman' and others.
Thalaivan Thalaivii - Official Teaser
On the other hand, Vijay Sethupathi was recently seen in the film 'Ace' which failed to impress the audiences and mint good numbers at the box office. The movie was directed by Arumuga Kumar and also featured Yogi Babu in pivotal role.
