Context
Why does this story matter?
The second-look image of Vijay getting released on his birthday is a brilliant surprise for his fans. And since Varisu is being helmed by Telugu filmmaker Vamshi Paidipally, it is receiving attention from the fans of both Tamil and Telugu cinema lovers. Varisu also marks the maiden collaboration between Vijay and Pushpa star Rashmika Mandanna, who will play his romantic interest.
Speculation
Second look spills beans on Vijay's dual role
The second look has Vijay in a casual outfit flashing a charming smile with a bunch of kids. It looks like the still is from a truck and has a rural backdrop. The first look had Vijay giving a serious look in a dapper suit with a skyscraper in the background. The contrasting looks in the two posters hint at Vijay's dual role.
