Vijay – the Complete Man

Illaya Thalapathi Vijay, is not only a successful actor, but quite the family man too!
On the days he has no shooting, Vijay is a home bird, preferring to spend quality time with his family. And that means, playing with his son and daughter.
If you his fight sequences on screen, his agile dance movements and risky stunts regaled you the most, his daughter, Divya Sha Sha, just prefers his impromptu elephant back rides in the garden. His son, Jason Sanjay on the other hand, likes his dad to teach him cycling inside the compound.
Vijay also has footage of his son crawling and then graduating to walking, all memories safely captured in his video camera. Now, he spends a lot of time with Divya Sha Sha and has even recorded her baby talk in his mobile, which incidentally is his ring tone!
On the career front, he is eagerly waiting for Prabhu Deva to return from Spain, who is currently choreographing the song sequences for the Superstar starrer, Sivaji. Prabhu Deva will be making the Tamil version of the hugely successful Telugu film Pokiri, with Vijay in the lead, and the film is said to hit the screens for Diwali.

Vijay’s Sudden London Visit

With his wife and children Vijay made a sudden visit to his father-in-law’s place in London. After taking time off with `Puli’ being dropped, Vijay is suddenly showing signs of activity. The reason is `Pokkiri.’ This film starring Mahesh Babu and Ileana broke all records in Andhra.
Vijay will star in its Tamil re-make to be directed by Prabhu Deva whose `Pournami’ flopped miserable.When Vijay’s market was its lowest, `Thirumalai’ gave a bit of boost. `Gilli’ that followed put Vijay quite on top. `Gilli’ was a re-make of Mahesh Babu’s Telugu film `Okkadu.’ Happy that this success could be repeated, Vijay went for a pleasant break to London with his family.
Vijay is expected to return on 30th. On his return, the photo session is expected to take place in specially erected sets. The shooting is expected to commence in June. Asin, who was to star with Vijay in `Puli,’ has been approached.
If call sheets don’t work out, then other leading ladies will be approached. Whatever be the case, next month Vijay will definitely face the camera!

Early life

Vijay was born to S. A. Chandrasekhar, a film producer and director and Shobha Chandrasekhar, a Carnatic singer. He attended the "Balalok Matriculation Higher Secondary School" in Saligramam. He began his post-secondary studies at Loyola College in Chennai and entered in the acting field.

Career

[edit]Early years: 1992-2002

During his childhood, Vijay performed in uncredited roles as a child actor in films produced by his father, S. A. Chandrasekhar. At the age of 18, Vijay debuted as a lead actor in the 1992 film Naalaya Theerpu, also produced by his father. In his second film, he co-starred with Vijayakanth in the film Sendhoorapandi. His following films Rasigan and Deva were all low-budget films. In his fifth filmRajavin Parvaiyile in 1993, he co-starred with actor Ajith Kumar, who, like Vijay, was also a rising young actor then. Also released that year were his romantic comedies Vishnu and Chandralekha.
The following year, Vijay continued to pursue romantic comedy films like Coimbatore Mappillai. The Vikraman-directed Poove Unakkaga helped Vijay to become a recognisable actor. Vijay's tenth film was Vasantha Vasal which was followed by the action flicks Maanbumigu Maanavan and Selva. After more romance films in 1997, like Kaalamellam Kaathiruppen and Love Today, Vijay took up the romantic comedy film, Once More, in which he co-starred with legendary Tamil film actor Sivaji Ganesan. In his next film, the Mani Ratnam-produced Nerukku Ner, directed by Vasanth, he co-starred with Suriya who happened to make his debut in that film. He wrapped up that year with his first commercial success, Kadhalukku Mariyadhai, which was directed by Fazil and earned him a Tamil Nadu State Film Award for Best Actor.
In 1998, Vijay worked in Ninaithen Vandhai, Priyamudan, and Nilaave Vaa. In 1999, his film Thulladha Manamum Thullum earned him a Special Prize at the following year's Tamil Nadu State Film Awards. This was followed by the films Endrendrum Kadhal, Nenjinile, Minsara Kanna.
At the start of the new millennium he did Kannukkul Nilavu with Fazil. He decided not to commit in films that took a year to release, which changed his trend. His next venture Kushi was directed by S. J. Suryah. At the end of the year, he acted in Priyamanavale. His 2001 comedy film Friends was directed by Siddique and featured him alongside Suriya again. Badri was an action - drama flick which he followed with the romance film, Shahjahan.
In 2002, he starred in Thamizhan alongside the then debutante Priyanka Chopra. Youth and Bagavathi rounded off the year. The following year 2003 began with Vaseegara and Pudhiya Geethai.

[edit]Commercial success: 2003-2007

Vijay then switched gears with the action-romance flick, Thirumalai, which featured him with a new look. Udhaya, a film which began filming in 2002 but became delayed, finally released at the start of 2004.
Ghilli, which was released in 2004, is considered as one of Vijay's biggest commercial successes. Directed by S. Dharani and produced by A. M. Rathnam, it was a remake of the Telugu film Okkadu, and ran for 200 days in theatres in Tamil Nadu. It was followed by Madhurey. It was in this year which Vijay began to portray his current mass-hero, stereotypical acting style, giving him a major turning point in his career. The following year, 2005, had other major films such as the Perarasu-directed Thirupaachi, the romantic flick Sachien, and another masala film, Sivakasi, again by Perarasu.
His next film Aadhi, was released in 2006. He later accepted to work in Pokkiri that year. Directed by Prabhu Deva, it released in 2007 and met almost the same success Ghilli did, in which Vijay played the character of an undercover cop diguised as a local gangster. Vijay's performance was well praised and received an award from actor Kamal Haasan at Nehru Stadium for his performance. He received honorary doctorate from M.G.R University for his philanthropic works.

[edit]2007-2010

Late 2007, Vijay starred in the romantic drama film Azhagiya Thamizh Magan, and for the first time, he appeared in dual roles, as both the antagonist and protagonist. In 2008, he starred in the action film Kuruvi, again under Dharani's direction.
The year 2009 started off with the action masala film Villu, which was directed by Prabhu Deva who was keen on working with him again after Pokkiri. The film featured Vijay in dual roles for the second time in his career. Vijay's next film, Vettaikaaran was directed by Babu Sivan, produced by AVM Productions and distributed by Sun Pictures.
In 2010, Vijay's 50th film Sura releases, which was also distributed by Sun Pictures.

[edit]2011 onwards

He associated with director Siddique again for Kaavalan, the Tamil remake of the Malayalam film Bodyguard.[3] It received positive reviews from both viewers and critics and was declared a successful venture at the box office.[4][5] As of late-2010, he was working with M. Raja for Velayudham, which is being produced by Venu Ravichandran. He is currently working with S. Shankar for the film Nanbanwhich features Vijay as the main character alongside Jeeva, Srikanth and Ileana D'Cruz.[6] He is also playing the protaganist in Kannabiran directed by Ameer after he finishes his commitments.[7]
