Marking the actor's 25th lead role, Seethakaathi featured Vijay Sethupathi in a role that was distinctly challenging. Known for his versatility, Sethupathi had already cemented his place as a bankable star through films like Pizza and Vikram Vedha . However, in Seethakaathi , he was tasked with playing Ayya at different ages and stages of life, embodying the mannerisms of a veteran artiste while also lending his voice to the film's meta-commentary on stardom. Critics noted that the film’s success rested heavily on his ability to balance the weight of a philosophical drama with the demands of an absurdist comedy. The supporting cast includes seasoned actors like Mouli, Archana, and J. Mahendran, who helped ground the film's fantastical premise in reality. Seethakaathi Tamilyogi--
