Jason Sanjay, the talented offspring of the iconic Thalapathy Vijay, is all set to step into the spotlight with his Tamil directorial debut, Sigma. In a captivating interview with Galatta Plus, Jason unveiled a fascinating insight into what he would love to explore if he ever had the chance to direct his legendary father.
The aspiring director expressed a deep admiration for his father’s playful and comedic flair. He shared, “I truly enjoy watching his sense of humor. Having seen his personal side at home, I know that his humor comes from an endearing, childlike nature.” Jason lamented that Vijay had moved away from roles that highlight this delightful aspect. “If given the chance to direct him, I would delve into this playful side of my father,” he added with enthusiasm.
Further adding to the family legacy, Jason recounted how his grandfather, the esteemed director-actor SA Chandrasekhar, reacted to his ambitions. While they didn’t delve deeply into details, his grandfather imparted a key piece of advice: never express doubts or hesitations on set. Jason also credited both his father and grandfather with instilling a robust work ethic, emphasizing Vijay’s punctuality as a cornerstone of professionalism.
