Vijay Babu on working with Vinayakan; says disagreements are exaggerated; calls 'Aadu' actor 'outstanding and unmatched'

Actor-producer Vijay Babu has opened up about his long working relationship with Vinayakan by stressing that public perception often affects the reality of their professional relation. Both actors will appear in the upcoming film 'Aadu 3' as the characters Dude and Shameer.Speaking to Movie World Media, Vijay Babu explained that normal creative exchanges with Vinayakan frequently get portrayed as friction even though such differences are common with any artist. Vijay Babu further said that Vinayakan’s transformation in front of the camera is extraordinary. According to him, once Vinayakan steps into a role, “he becomes a completely different person.” Vijay Babu described Vinayakan with high regard. He said, “Vinayakan is an outstanding actor. He is very professional. No matter what issues arise, he will come to the set at the exact time he is asked to. Once he enters into a character, he becomes another person altogether. No one can match his performance.”The producer-actor added that people are quick to sensationalize even minor disagreements involving the actor. “But when there is a small disagreement with Vinayakan, people tend to amplify it. However, creative differences happen with every actor. I’ve had creative differences with Jayasurya; I’ve had them with Dharmajan Bolgatty as well,” he said.Vijay Babu clarified that such moments occur in all film sets, but Vinayakan is someone who responds quickly and corrects course on his own.The actor-producer explained how Vinayakan processes disagreements. “It’s just that sometimes he may not like something, and he might walk away upset. But after sitting and thinking for a while, he feels bad. He realizes that so many people are waiting for him. At that moment, he will call his assistant and say, ‘Tell them I’ll be there at 8 AM.’ The real problem begins when we go to persuade him. He will calm himself down without anyone needing to console him. That’s the kind of human nature he has,” Vijay Babu said.The much-awaited 'Aadu 3,' featuring Jayasurya in the lead, is set to release on March 19, 2026. The makers reaffirmed the date with a fresh poster unveiled on February 20. The film is directed by Midhun Manuel Thomas.Interestingly, the film will hit theaters alongside 'Toxic,' directed by Geetu Mohandas.Sharing the new poster, Vijay Babu wrote, “The idiots are coming; one last ride …. Aadu 3, In Theaters Worldwide from 19th March 2026!”
