Critically acclaimed director SP Jananathan passed away on March 14 after suffering a stroke on the 11th afternoon and being treated in the intensive care unit. The entire Tamil film industry suffered from the sudden disappearance of the socially conscious filmmaker, whose subjects were often the oppressed people.
Vijay Sethupathi, the busiest actor in Kollywood and even in Indian cinema, took a break from filming a new movie and was with Jananthan’s family when he was hospitalized and also at the funeral. The Makkal Selvan, as he is aptly known, has not only taken care of all the hospital bills, but was also part of all the formalities of the last rites and walked with the mortal remains to the crematorium.
The relationship between Vijay Sethupathi and Jananathan is like a movie script, as the former is said to have gone to the latter’s office several times during their fighting days, but the director made it clear to him that he has no intention of making movies. with the newcomers. However, what caught the attention of VJS at the time was that Jananathan treated not only him, but everyone who came looking for opportunities with respect and warmth and if it’s time to eat he even offered it to him.
Later, when Vijay Sethupathi was a busy actor and Jananathan wanted him to replace another actor in ‘Purambokku Ennum Podhuvudamai’, he immediately gave him dates and also had a solid performance in the film. Although the film was a critical success, it was not the same at the box office and therefore Jananathan had a long delay of almost four years to start a new film.
That’s when Vijay Sethupathi himself stepped forward to produce ‘Laabam’ alongside Arumugakumar and also promised Jananathan that he should continue to make his kind of socially relevant movies and that he will always stand behind him. It is with this certainty that the film began with force and if it were not for the coronavirus pandemic it would have been released in the director’s life.
Jananathan himself has stated in interviews that VJS often asked him about his health and forced him to attend check-ups and therapeutic treatments and took care of the expenses even if he refused. The star also donated to the cause of movie workers by giving them gold when asked by the director.
Vijay Sethupathi’s immense love and respect for Jananathan and his efforts to keep the filmmaker up to his good work has made the Kollywood industry look at the star with more respect and awe.
