Tamil actor Vijay Sethupathi will present an award at the 54th International Emmy Awards in New York on November 23, potentially becoming the first Indian actor to do so, according to reports from The Times of India and The Hollywood Reporter India. The International Academy of Television Arts & Sciences confirmed that this year's ceremony will recognize 64 nominees across 16 categories from 22 countries.
Sethupathi's participation was reportedly secured with the help of producer Kavita Gupta, a board member of the academy. Indian productions Real Kashmir Football Club and comedian Vir Das's Netflix special Vir Das: Fool Volume are among the nominees. Das made history in 2024 as the first Indian to present an award at the ceremony after winning an award in 2023 for his comedy special.
Priyanka Chopra also presented an award alongside Tom Hiddleston at the 2016 Primetime Emmy Awards. Sethupathi recently starred in the Tamil film Baththa and is set to appear in Mani Ratnam's upcoming romantic drama Inji Vellam. His 2024 Tamil thriller Maharaja has garnered interest in Hollywood for a potential English-language remake.
