Career
Vijay's career graph has been markedly different from Ajith's. While Ajith's has had several ups and downs (think of a sine wave!), Vijay's has been a slow but steady rise to the top followed by a steep decline. He had the immense advantage of having a popular director as his father and so, found an easy entry into films. It was his father S.A.Chandrasekhar who introduced him as a hero in Naalaya Theerppu in 1992. But he did not stop there and continued to make several movies with his son as hero. Though these movies (in most of which Vijay was paired with Sangavi) were steeped in vulgarity and unabashedly targeted the front benchers, they achieved the important objective of keeping Vijay in the public eye.


Vijay's real break came with Vikraman's Poove Unakkaaga. The movie rewrote box-office records and Vijay, who departed from his typical roles to play a soft-spoken, lovelorn youngster, found his ticket to stardom. He perfected the role in movies like Love Today and Nilaave Vaa and gradually found increased acceptance among the fairer sex too. The peak that I mentioned before in his career was undoubtedly Fazil's Kaadhalukku Mariyaadhai. The movie was a blockbuster and the latest in a string of hits that placed Vijay in the hallowed company of Rajnikanth and Kamalahassan as far as the distributors were concerned. At that point, he could do no wrong as even Priyamudan, where he played a negative character of a youth obsessed with a woman, became a hit.


Vijay's downfall started with 1999's Endrendrum Kaadhal. His movies started falling like nine pins and he must have seen the writing on the wall with the failure of Minsaara Kannaa, which was helmed by hit director K.S.Ravikumar. His father hastened his downfall with the terrible Nenjinile. The last nail in the coffin, so to speak, was Fassil's Kannukkul Nilavu.

Vijay(H3)

The failure of this movie, which brought together the same team that was behind Kaadhalukku Mariyaadhai, has shaken Vijay's confidence. But his personal life has always been on an even keel and he was recently married to Sangeetha after an arranged alliance. Memories are notoriously short in Kodambakkam where an actor or actress is only as good as their last hit. With Kushi too being a disappointment at the box-office, Vijay is desperately looking for a hit for some time now to get back into the race and make things interesting for the viewers. He has several releases this year like Friends, remake of a Malayalam superhit and Priyamaanavale, reteaming him with Simran. Lets hope these push him back into the race.

VIJAY IN AND AS VIJAY
How often does an actor get to play himself on screen? Not very often, one guesses. But, the closest that one can get to it is by playing characters that are namesakes of the actor himself. Very few actors have had a lot of luck in this respect. Vijayakanth has played quite a few characters named Vijay. But, the one who had it most definitely seems to be Ilaya Thalapathi Vijay. Having Amitabh Bachchan’s favorite screen name, he played out characters named Vijay in many movies. Just ahead of his birthday which is set to be celebrated with great fervor and expected to be accompanied by the official announcement of his 50th movie, we take a look at the movies that have had Vijay in and as Vijay.

Naalaya Theerpu

Vijay’s debut film, directed by his dad S. A.Chandrashekhar. The story of a young man who is tested by life and many people around him. In 1992, when this film released with a new boy in the lead, little did people know that he would grow into today’s Ilaya Thalapathi

Join us to wish Actor Vijay a Very Happy Birthday

Ilayathalapathy Vijay the heartbeat of many hearts across the globe is celebrating his birthday today. He is one of the biggest actors in Kollywood today.

Vijay debuted as a child artiste in his father S.A. Chandrasekhar’s films and by having a great passion towards acting he turned as a hero. He made his big screen debut as a hero with Naalaiya Theerpu in the year 1992. From than there is no look back for the star as he is well accepted by all sections of audiences. From romantic hero to action hero, Vijay has created a niche for himself in Kollywood. So far he has done more than 50 films only in Tamil. Vijay is very down to earth person in real life, humble, shy and calm. Most of his films portray him bubbly, naughty, prankster who always fights against evil.
Vijay is going to celebrate his birthday by visiting the Egmore Government hospital to give away gold rings to the newly born babies born on his birthday. He is also participating in a blood donation and eye camp. Known to all, his fan clubs are busy on doing charity services and he requested his fans not to spend money on banners and cut outs. Instead, he asked them to spend that money for poor and needy, he is going to have his afternoon meal with children at an orphanage.

Vijay and Ajith Relationship
All of us know about the sparring in the media Kollywood actors Vijay and Ajith. It spilled over in their films which had dialogues taunting each other. The day before yesterday however was different. Vijay who had come to AVM studios for attending the launch of E, made an unannounced entry into the launch function of Ajith’s Tirupathi. He hugged Ajith and pleasantries were exchanged. While everyone stood dazed in surprise, both attended the E function together.


Vijay and Ajith are good pals

There is a general opinion in film industry that there is a cold war between Ilaya Thalapathi Vijay and Ultimate Star Ajith. This can be seen in their recent releases. But director Perarasu who is directing Sivakasi with Vijay and Tirupathi with Ajith says that “Ajith and Vijay are good friends. But only persons around them make the news very elusive.” After, the movie Tirupathi was conformed, Vijay was the first to convey wishes to Perarasu. He also added by saying that the film should surely end up in success. Similarly, Ajith has conveyed his wishes for the success of Sivakasi.
