Vijay Sethupathy, known for his role as the lead antagonist in the film ‘Jawan,’ recently made headlines due to Sri Lankan cricketer Muttiah Muralitharan’s revelation about his exit from his biopic. Muralitharan disclosed that Sethupathy faced immense pressure, including threats to his family, prompting his decision to withdraw from the project. The cricketer emphasized the need to protect Sethupathy’s life and career, expressing concern that his own story should not jeopardize the actor’s well-being. The threats emerged following a misquote by Muralitharan, with politicians opposing Sethupathy’s portrayal of the cricketer in the biopic.
