Sharing his viewpoint, the actor explained that while choosing a project, he did not consider the result of the previous movie. He takes up a project only if he likes the script and the story.

Vijay said, “I do not consider the result of previous movies. If I like the story, I decide to do the film. Puri narrated a story to me that I liked. I have not done a film like this in the past, and I always want to pick new stories so that I don’t repeat myself.”
