Jason Sanjay, son of Tamil superstar Thalapathy Vijay, is gearing up for his directorial debut with the upcoming film Sigma, featuring Sundeep Kishan. Ahead of its release, Sanjay offered insights into how his famous father might react to his first venture behind the camera.
Anticipating Thalapathy Vijay's Response
During an appearance on Pearle Maaney's YouTube program, Jason Sanjay shared his expectations regarding his father's reaction to Sigma. He described his dad as a man of few words, known for his contemplative nature. "My dad is usually a quiet person. He takes his time," Sanjay explained, noting that Vijay often pauses for about ten seconds before responding to a question. He even joked about instances where he might ask, "Did you cut the call, Appa?" if the silence extends too long. Despite his father's reserved demeanor, Jason expressed confidence, stating, "He'll like the film; he'll be proud."
Aspiring to Direct His Father
Jason Sanjay also previously discussed his ambition to one day direct his father. He revealed a particular fondness for Thalapathy Vijay’s comedic timing and the "inner child-like nature" he observes in him at home. Sanjay noted that his father has, over time, moved away from portraying characters that are "full-fledged fun and relatable." If given the opportunity to direct him, Jason expressed a keen interest in bringing that lighter, more humorous side of Vijay back to the big screen.
Inside the World of Sigma
Sigma promises an adventurous narrative centered on Guru, a cunning treasure hunter and radio host whose life is upended by an act of betrayal. Stripped of everything, Guru embarks on a quest to reclaim his losses, targeting a massive Rs 500-crore criminal enterprise spearheaded by the formidable Kotlapadi Veeraiya Reddy. Unable to directly challenge the powerful syndicate, Guru devises an elaborate heist alongside his trusted circle of friends and associates. However, unforeseen betrayals and twists threaten to unravel his meticulously planned operation, forcing Guru to rely on his sharp instincts and unwavering resolve to outmaneuver Reddy and recover what was unjustly taken.
Background and Release Details
The film stars Sundeep Kishan in the leading role, supported by a talented ensemble cast including Faria Abdullah, Sampath Raj, Shiv Panditt, and Yog Japee. The musical score for Sigma is composed by Thaman S. This highly anticipated directorial debut from Jason Sanjay is scheduled to hit cinemas on October 2, 2026.
