Vijay Sethupathi fondly known as the Makkal Selvan by fans may have done dozens of intense roles in his career. But there is no denying the fact that comedy is also amongst his repertoire as evidenced in 'Idharku Thaaney Aasaipattai Balakumara' , 'Naduvula Konjam Pakkatha Kanom' and 'Soodhu Kavvum'.
