Movie Desk: The Slum Dog Puri Vijay Sethupathi movie update has turned into one of the hottest topics in the film industry.
Directed by Puri Jagannadh, this much-talked-about project has been in the limelight ever since its title was leaked.
The makers had originally planned a grand title launch event in Chennai, but it was postponed due to recent unfortunate events.
However, the leak has only doubled the excitement among fans.
The film features Vijay Sethupathi in the lead role, with Samyuktha Menon playing the female lead.
Veteran actress Tabu will be seen in a significant role, while Kannada star Duniya Vijay is set to appear as the main antagonist.
Even before the first look, this unique casting has already grabbed massive attention.
According to inside buzz, the Puri Vijay Sethupathi movie carries Puri’s signature mass treatment.
It reportedly takes inspiration from the “beggar-to-billionaire” point, similar to Kubera, but will be presented with a fresh emotional and action-packed spin.
Industry sources suggest the film could deliver the same kind of high-voltage mass appeal that Puri once achieved with Pokiri.
After the disappointing performances of Liger and Double iSmart, Slum Dog is being seen as a crucial project for Puri Jagannadh.
Sources reveal that he is leaving no stone unturned to ensure a strong comeback.
Vijay Sethupathi was reportedly so impressed with the script that he gave an instant nod to the project.
Currently, more than half of the film’s shooting has been completed.
The makers are planning a massive release in both the Telugu and Tamil markets, with Christmas 2025 being considered as the likely release window.
If Puri manages to deliver his vintage mass touch with Slum Dog, this film could mark a major comeback in his career.
