Life has changed for Popular Actor Sathyaraj after Baahubali. He will be seen in Badhaai Ho Tamil Remake. Why did Katappa kill Baahubali- took the world by storm when Rajamouli’s Baahubali: The Beginning (2015) had released. And it not only immortalised the characters, but also the actor who played Katappa- Sathyaraj.
The 67-year-old actor, will be seen in the Tamil remake of Badhaai Ho (2018) next, says the one question he gets often is, ‘How tough was it to keep the answer to the question (Why did Katappa kill Baahubali) a secret until the film released?’ The actor quips, “Well, the producer paid me well, and SS Rajamouli (director) told me to, that’s why I did it and kept the answer a secret!”
The official Tamil remake of the Hindi film ‘Badhai Ho’ is titled ‘Veetla Visesham’ and the movie is gearing up for its release in theatres on June 17. Directed and co-directed by NJ Saravanan and RJ Balaji, the film is produced by Boney Kapoor. Starring Sathyaraj, Urvashi, RJ Balaji and Aparna Balamurali in lead roles, the film is expected to be a humorous family drama.
“For me, life can be divided into life before and after Baahubali. Before this film, people only knew me in the south, or wherever Tamilians lived in the world. After this character happened, everybody knows me,” he laughs.

At the launch of the trailer of Badhaai Ho Tamil trailer RJ Balaji and Sathyaraj said that the best is kept hidden for the climax scene,” RJ Balaji shared his opinion on the film’s climax.
In a career spanning 44 years, Sathyaraj has acted in nearly 250 films. He shares, “Most of my films are in Tamil, I did three films in Telugu, two in Malayalam, and one in Hindi, Chennai Express (2013).”
Want to Return As Villain Again – Actor Sathyaraj
“I’m very comfortable with them because I sport as a villain in one way because they allowed me to score as actors,” says senior actor Sathyaraj who has entertained the audience with varied roles in more than 250 movies. I had the humble opportunity to indulge in a tête-à-tête with the legendary actor ahead of his film Veetla Vishesham’s release, which is a Tamil remake of the Hindi hit Badhaai Ho.
Sathyaraj, as we all know is the villain of villains. He is among the supervillains who stood up against superstar Rajinikanth in the movies and equally managed to steal the show. To note, his role as Gopinath in Mr Bharath set a new benchmark for the villains in the industry.
Why didn’t he take up more work in Hindi after making his debut in a film directed by Rohit Shetty? He confesses, “I do get Hindi offers. I was offered a Tiger Shroff film recently, which required me to be 40 days in London. My family situation is such that I can’t go abroad for those many days. Then there was a film with Vidya Balan, but on the same dates as the one required by Veetla Vishesham. The problem is that I speak fluently only in my mother tongue, even English I barely manage. I can speak other languages if I get a prompt.”
