Vijay Sethupathi isn’t just thanking Kerala for loving Baththa — he’s being handed a rare cinematic gift: the kind that doesn’t come from box office numbers, but from quiet, stubborn belief. The film, which sees him as a local don undone by a child’s unflinching gaze, has found its pulse in the state where it was least expected to resonate.
Not a single frame of the trailer suggested this would be a regional love letter, yet here it is: Kerala audiences have made Baththa their own. And Sethupathi, ever the man of few words and many gestures, took to social media to say so, not with a press release, but with a simple, almost tender thank-you.
'Keep the love coming,' he wrote. No grand theatrics. Just warmth. That’s the real story here.
