What made Vijay Sethupathi refrain from signing a film with Krithi Shetty?

What: In the 2021 film Uppena, Vijay Sethupathi portrayed the character of Krithi Shetty’s father. This movie achieved remarkable commercial success and earned the prestigious National Film Award for Best Telugu Film. Surprisingly, despite receiving offers to collaborate on subsequent projects, Krithi and Vijay haven’t shared the screen since Uppena. Unfortunately, these potential film collaborations didn’t materialize due to Vijay Sethupathi’s decision not to work alongside the talented Shyam Singha Roy actress.

Furthermore: Vijay Sethupathi did not want Krithi Shetty to be paired opposite him, as there was an obvious age gap between the two actors. Many actors constantly work with actresses way younger than themselves, and Vijay Sethupathi made the commendable decision of not working with Krithi, as she had also played his daughter in Uppenna

We heard: Vijay Sethupathi said, “While I was shooting for Labham, the makers said they were planning to rope in Krithi Shetty for the female lead role in the film. At that time, Uppena was in the making as well. In Uppena, Krithi Shetty played my daughter. Incidentally, the makers of Labham were contemplating the idea of roping in Krithi Shetty for the female lead role to act alongside me. But I immediately turned down their advancements. How can I romance an actress who is playing my daughter in a film that is also shot simultaneously?
