Vijay is an Indian actor who works in Tamil cinema. He made his cinematic debut in 1984 with Vetri, directed by his father, S. A. Chandrasekhar.[1] After appearing in Chandrasekhar's films as an child artist, Vijay made his debut as a lead actor with Naalaiya Theerpu (1992) at the age of 18.[1] He followed it with a supporting role opposite Vijayakanth in Sendhoorapandi (1993).[2] Vijay went on to play lead roles in his father's directorial ventures such as Rasigan (1994) and Deva (1995).[2][3] Most of those films were successful commercially.[4][5]
Vijay's first breakthrough was in 1996 with Vikraman's romance film, Poove Unakkaga.[2][4] His subsequent films, Vasanth's Nerrukku Ner (1997) and Fazil's Kadhalukku Mariyadhai (1997), were critically and commercially successful.[4][6] His performance in the latter won him the Tamil Nadu State Film Award for Best Actor.[4] Thulladha Manamum Thullum (1999), where he played a passionate singer gained him the reputation of a romantic hero.[7][8]
Vijay began the new millennium with critically and commercially successful films such as Kushi and Priyamaanavale.[9][10] The following year, he appeared in three films: Friends, Badri and Shahjahan. All three were box office successes;[11][12] barring successful ventures Thamizhan,[12] Youth and Bagavathi (all three released in 2002),[13][14] his subsequent films Vaseegara and Pudhiya Geethai were released. While Vaseegara was a moderate success and received praise for his comic-timing,[15] Puthiya Geethai received negative reviews and underperformed at the box office.[16][17][18] The success of his masala film Thirumalai (2003),[19] changed his on-screen persona to that of an action hero.[20] He appeared next as a kabaddi player in Ghilli (2004), which went on to become the most commercially successful Tamil film of the year.[4][21] His performance as a sword-smith in the masala film Thirupaachi (2005) earned him a special prize at the Tamil Nadu State Film Awards.[22][23] He continued to achieve commercial success with Sivakasi (2005) and Pokkiri (2007).[24][25] The latter garnered him a Filmfare Award nomination for Best Actor.[26] Barring Vettaikaaran's box office success,[27] all of his subsequent releases from Azhagiya Tamil Magan (2007), where he played dual roles for the first time in his career,[28] to Villu (2009) were average successes;[29][30][31] his 50th film, Sura (2010), managed to recover only its production cost.[32]
In 2011 Vijay's career prospects improved after he was praised for his role as a bodyguard in Kaavalan.[33][34] Velayudham in which, he appeared as a masked superhero was commercially successful worldwide.[35] The following year he appeared in two films: as a college student in Nanban and an army officer in Thuppakki.[36][37] His performances in both films received positive critical feedback,[38] with the latter earning him a Best Actor nomination at the 60th Filmfare Awards South.[39] He followed that with A. L. Vijay's Thalaivaa (2013) and the multi-starrer Jilla (2014) which was commercially successful.[40][41] He teamed up with Murugadoss again for the action film Kaththi (2014). The film, which had Vijay playing dual roles as a thief and an idealist, became one of the highest-grossing Tamil films of that year; his performances earned him critics praise.[42][43] In his next film, Chimbu Deven's fantasy Puli (2015), he featured again in dual roles;[44] it was an overseas success.[45] The following year, he played a police officer in Atlee's Theri.[46] The film had one of the biggest openings in Tamil cinema and was a major commercial success.[47][48][49] Vijay's performance won him South Indian International Movie Awards.[50][51] He played triple roles for the first time in Mersal (2017), his second collaboration with Atlee.[52] In addition to garnering a UK Award for Best Actor,[53][54] the film collected ₹2.5 billion.[55] Vijay earned positive critical acclaim for Bairavaa (2017) and Sarkar (2018).[56][57] He also starred in films Bigil (2019), Master (2021), Beast (2022) and Varisu (2023) which received mixed reviews, but became commercially successful.[58][59]
