Vijay Sethupathi Explains No-Cameo Policy Except for Rajinikanth's Jailer 2PreviousNext

Actor Vijay Sethupathi has adopted a no-cameo policy, choosing to avoid brief appearances in films to protect the commercial success of his lead roles. The sole exception is Rajinikanth's upcoming film Jailer 2, motivated by his respect for the superstar and the opportunity to learn from him. Sethupathi explained that cameos in other films often overshadow his own projects, while his role in Jailer 2 is a one-time exception. He also noted that future cameo decisions will depend on the script's suitability.
