The Vijay Sethupathi-Karthik Subbaraj combo has delivered the most memorable films in both their careers namely 'Pizza' and 'Iraivi' with the hero making a cameo appearance in the director's 'Jigarthanda' as well. On Pongal the duo will once again deliver 'Petta' in which Vijay Sethupathi plays villain to none other than the Superstar Rajinikanth.

Eight years back itself Karthik Subbaraj has predicted the phenomenal star stature of Vijay Sethupathi. On December 23rd the director had posted on his Facebook page "Thenmerkku Paruva Kaatru is releasing tomorrow. Really excited and looking forward to watch Vijay Sethupathi on big screen...All the best Vijay...Rock the big screens...!!!". A follower had quizzed "Who is Vijay Sethupathi?" to which Karthik has replied "You will know him soon". Today VJS is one of the most sought after mass heroes in Tamil cinema and one of his earliest director's has foreseen it and has let the whole world know about it as well. Just one word for VJS and Karthik Subbaraj friendship - Awesome!
