Film Career
Vijay has acted as a child actor in some of his father's films. His first lead role was in his father's film Naalaya Theerpu. His father S.A. Chandrasekhar decided to cast Vijayakanth, whom he worked with in many films, with Vijay in Sendhoorapandi. The movie had a decent run at the box office and Vijay was noticed. In 1996, Vijay starred in the blockbuster hit Poove Unakkaga directed by Vikraman. Shorlty after Vijay starred in another blockbuster Kadhalukku Mariyadhai. The film directed by Fazil became a huge box office hit and can be considered a trend setter. At this time Vijay was one of the industry's most popular stars.
