"First of all I’ve always had the highest regard for Aamir sir as an actor. His selection of roles always inspired me to attempt something different every time. When I got to know him personally for Lal Singh Chadha, I was even more impressed by his humility and cinema knowledge. Just being with him is a learning experience,” Vijay Sethupathi said.

However, according to the latest report published in Times Of India, Vijay has exited from the project.

When he was asked about the exit and reports Aamir was upset and disappointed about his gained weight. He said, "I am very comfortable with my body and my mind. Whatever project I go into, they go with me.”

Talking about Aamir Khan, Vijay recalled when the Bollywood star flew down to Chennai and narrated the script to him and stayed overnight. "Aamir sir personally offered me the role. He then flew down to Tamil Nadu where I was shooting to narrate the script to me. For some reason, the director Advait Chandan couldn’t come. Aamir sir came alone, narrated the script and stayed overnight in that town and left the next morning. Such a big superstar and no airs. And he is a marvellous storyteller. The way he narrated the story was mesmerising. I immediately said yes.”
 

The Master star added, "When I went to Mumbai, Aamir sir invited me to his house. He was the perfect host, not just once but twice. I can never forget his kindness and his knowledge in cinema. It would be an honour and a pleasure to work with him sometime in the near future."
