– Thalapathy Vijay

This man needs no Intro but yeah, it’s my duty to introduce him. From “Un moonjiyellam yarra kaasu kuduthu paapa” to “Face of Kollywood”. Yeah, you have guessed it right, It’s our dearest Thalapathy Vijay. Joseph Vijay Chandrasekhar (born 22 June 1974), known mononymously as Vijay, is an Indian actor, dancer, playback singer, and philanthropist who works predominantly in Tamil cinema and also appeared in other Indian languages films. Referred to by fans and media as “Thalapathy” (commander), Vijay is the highest-paid actor in Tamil cinema and is also considered as one of the most bankable stars in the Indian film industry. He has won numerous awards, including eight Vijay Awards by Star India, three Tamil Nadu State Film Awards by the Government of Tamil Nadu, and a SIIMA Award. He has been included several times in the Forbes India Celebrity 100 list, based on the earnings of Indian celebrities. At 10 years old, Vijay’s first role was in the drama Vetri (1984); he continued to perform as a child actor in films until Ithu Engal Neethi (1988), directed by his father S. A. Chandrasekhar and then featured as the lead for the first time in Naalaiya Theerpu (1992). Vijay played anti-hero roles as a hyper-possessive lover in Priyamudan (1998), followed by a play-boy in Azhagiya Tamil Magan (2007). The success of his masala film Thirumalai (2003) changed his on-screen persona to that of an action hero. He appeared as a kabaddi player in Ghilli (2004), which went on to become the first Tamil film to earn ₹500 million (Indian rupees). He continued to achieve success during the 2000s with cult films including Thirupaachi (2005), Sachin (2005), Sivakasi (2005), Pokkiri (2007), and Vettaikaaran (2009). In the 2010s, Vijay achieved further critical and commercial success with blockbusters including Thuppakki (2012), Kaththi (2014), Theri (2016), Mersal (2017), Sarkar (2018), Bigil (2019), and Master (2021). While Vijay’s earlier films were primarily action and masala-based, his later films transitioned into the thriller genre and discussion of reform concerning social, environmental, and political issues in India. Most of us know his present stage including me. But when I Researched he acted in numerous roles. These are about the A Glance at Thalapathy Vijay Exponential Growth.

Vijay started his film career as a child actor in the film Vetri (1984) and then performed as a child actor in films such as Kudumbam (1984), Vasantha Raagam (1986), Sattam Oru Vilayaattu (1987), and Ithu Engal Neethi (1988). He also performed as a child actor in Naan Sigappu Manithan (1985) co-starring Rajinikanth as the lead actor. He made a friendly appearance in the 2012 Bollywood film Rowdy Rathore starring Akshay Kumar, directed by Prabhu Deva. As a playback singer, Vijay has sung over thirty songs in his films, he completes his 25 years in singing in 2019. Every person has a turning point in their life. Vijay’s life had one named Thirumalai. In late 2003, Vijay starred in the action-romance flick Thirumalai, co-starring Jyothika, directed by debutant Ramana and produced by K. Balachander’s Kavithalaya Productions, which featured him differently. Thirumalai was considered a turning point in Vijay’s career. Udhaya, which began production in 1998 and filming in 2002, but was delayed, was finally released in early 2004. These are about the A Glance at Thalapathy Vijay Exponential Growth.

Then came his success sequence. Thuppaki, Kaththi, Theri, Mersal, Sarkar, Master. In September 2014, Kalaipuli S. Thanu signed on to finance a project directed by Atlee, which would star Vijay. Several titles for the film were considered, before the makers finalized Theri in late November 2015. In the same month, it was revealed that the film was “70% complete”. Action scenes, choreographed by Dhilip Subbarayan were filmed throughout the month, though the shoot was disrupted by the heavy flooding in Chennai. Hollywood action choreographer Kaloyan Vodenicharov worked with the team in early December 2015 to help shoot the climax portions for the film, however, poor climatic conditions in China meant that the team had to abandon their idea of filming sequences there and instead opted to shoot in Bangkok. Sets were erected in a factory in Chennai to shoot the climax scenes, with stunt choreographer Vodenicharov recruited to help train artists and film the sequences during December 2015. The action-thriller “Theri” was released in April 2016 with positive reviews. It was the second-highest-grossing Tamil film of 2016 and Vijay’s second film to gross over ₹1,720,000,000. These are about the A Glance at Thalapathy Vijay Exponential Growth.

His next, the masala film Bairavaa, directed by Bharathan, co-starring Keerthy Suresh and produced by Vijaya Productions was released in January 2017. Vijay again worked with Bharathan of Azhagiya Tamil Magan fame titled Bairavaa a low-budget flick. Bairavaa received mixed reviews from audiences and critics praising the action sequences and Vijay’s coin-flipping style, and Bairavaa collected ₹115 crores at the box office. Forbes framed Vijay as a habitual hit-maker following his back-to-back successes of films from Bairavaa to Mersal released that same year. His 61st film, the action-thriller Mersal, was directed by Atlee, co-starring Samantha Ruth Prabhu, Kajal Aggarwal, and Nithya Menen, and produced by Sri Thenandal Films. Following the success of Atlee’s Theri, he and Vijay were signed by Sri Thenandal Films for another project together in September 2016. Vijay learned a few magic tricks in preparation for his role as a magician, learning from the magician Gogo Requiem from Macedonia, Raman Sharma from Canada, and Dani Belev from Bulgaria. Vijay also plays a doctor; the character, Maaran (or ₹5 doctor), was inspired by Dr. Balasubramanian, a doctor who hailed from Bodinayakkanur, Theni district, and charged ₹2 from patients. Through also playing a father during 1970s Madurai, Vijay played a triple role in total for the film. Mersal was released on 18 October 2017, coinciding with Diwali. It was both an enormous critical and commercial success and became the first of Vijay’s films to gross over ₹2.5 billion. The film was also released in Japan in four major cities Tokyo, Ebina, Osako, and Nakaya. For his role in Mersal, Vijay was nominated at the National Film Awards UK in 2018 and also the film won the Best Foreign Language Film award at the National Film Awards UK. The film was Vijay’s third film to be released in China after Kaavalan (2011) and Puli (2015). The film was also screened at the Bucheon International Fantastic Film Festival in South Korea.

“I’ve given hits and blockbusters but what I’ve truly earned is my fans … Ignore all negativity. The two things that decide a person’s fate are: his determination when he has nothing and his attitude when he has everything.”

Despite the success of Mersal, several notions expressed in the film were opposed by various organizations: the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), the ruling political party of Government of India, and the then-ruling AIADMK had objected to scenes in which the protagonist, played by Vijay, criticizes the recently introduced Goods and Services Tax, and also a scene in which a character ridicules Digital India, an initiative promoted by the BJP. The party demanded that those scenes be cut from the film for future viewership, but this was seen as an attack on freedom of expression by opposing political parties and various other celebrities working in Tamil cinema. In addition, several medical associations, such as the Tamil Nadu Government Doctors’ Association, condemned the film for the alleged cynical portrayal of doctors working in government-operated hospitals. Doctors working with the Indian Medical Association shared links of the film on pirated websites online, in the hope that it would cause monetary losses to the makers of the film. Following the successful ventures, Thuppakki and Kaththi, Murugadoss was confirmed to be the director of the 62nd film of Vijay’s career. Revealed as Sarkar, a political film, Keerthi Suresh played the female lead role, marking her second collaboration with Vijay after Bairavaa. These are about the A Glance at Thalapathy Vijay Exponential Growth.

Following its release on Diwali 2018, the Government of Tamil Nadu accused the filmmakers of Sarkar and Vijay of inciting the people by targeting the government in some scenes, as well as defaming former Chief Minister Jayalalithaa by naming the main antagonist (Varalaxmi Sarathkumar) with her alleged original name Komalavalli. This led to numerous protests by AIADMK cadre at theatres where the film was screened and vandalism of Vijay banners. AIADMK accused Sun Pictures, which is owned by the film’s producer Kalanithi Maran—who is the grand-nephew of the late former Chief Minister Karunanidhi of DMK—of targeting the government. Several actors, including veterans Rajinikanth and Kamal Haasan, supported the filmmakers by citing the oppression of freedom of speech.

Due to the threat of lawsuits from the government, the filmmakers agreed to cut the controversial scenes and mute references of Komalavalli in the audio track. Sarkar broke several collection records and entered the 100 Crore Club within just two days. As a result of the film’s success and media attention, the Election Commission of India created awareness regarding Section 49P of the Conduct of Elections Rules, 1961 that allows a voter to have the right to get back his/her ballot back and vote if someone else voted in that individual’s name. Sarkar was screened at Grand Rex, France. It was also screened in Japan. 

Vijay’s first cameo Bollywood appearance in the dance song Chinta Chinta from the Hindi film Rowdy Rathore (2012), co-starring Prabhu Deva, was well received by Hindi audiences. Most of his Tamil films are dubbed into Hindi by Goldmines Telefilms and telecast on the Sony Max Hindi TV channel. Vijay’s film Mersal gave tough competition to Hindi films in October 2017, when it collected more than Golmaal Again and Secret Superstar in international markets. Mersal also topped in the UAE market collecting more than ₹90 million, beating Golmaal Again and Secret Superstar. In July 2017, Rishtey Cineplex Hindi TV channel held the Hindi movies Television Rating Point rankings #1 and #3 respectively during the Dangerous Khiladi 3 (2014) (dubbed version of Vettaikaaran) and Policewala Gunda 2 (2014) (dubbed version of Jilla) telecasts. Sony Max Hindi TV channel held the #5 spot in Hindi movies Television Rating Point during Hindi film Theri telecast. In late 2017, the Hindi version of Vijay’s film Kaththi titled Khaki Aur Khiladi was released and telecast on Zee Cinema Hindi TV channel. Vijay’s Sarkar is the all-time top opener in India beating Hindi film Sanju. Sarkar was one of the highest-grossing Indian films of 2018 and broke records of many Hindi films such as Raazi, Gold, and Aamir’s Thugs of Hindostan. Vijay The Master held the #2 spot in TRP in Zee Cinema. Master also topped the IMDb list of top ten Indian films of 2021.

The Telugu version of Jilla included a separate track shot that featured Surekha Vani, L. B. Sriram, and Brahmanandam. Sarkar & Whistle Telugu collected ₹18 crores and ₹20 crores. Master’s Telugu version collected more than ₹20 crores in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana.
