He
is the youngest actor to have won the MGR award from
the Tamil Nadu Government and Kalaimamani title. His
inspiration are MGR’s Nadodi mannan, Rajini’s
Annamalai and Vijayakanth’s Sattam oru iruttarai
and Vanathaippola.
Vijay
is talented in all aspects of acting like dance, action
and emoting. He has worked with perseverance to hone
his skills and prove his detractors wrong. At 31, he
is the youngest star to have completed 48 films and
already there is competition about who would produce
his 50th film.
Vijay
has excellent rapport with his peers Ajith, Prasanth
and Surya.
A
shy and intensely private person, Vijay
has steered clear of any controversy. He is happily
married to London-born Sangeetha. They have a son, Jason
Sanjay and a just-born daughter. A total family man,
he prefers spending his free time with his wife and
kids and can only be rarely seen in filmi gatherings.
He is an accomplished sportsperson who can play basketball,
football, cricket and volleyball. He plumps for idli
and dosa with coriander chutney and hogs on seafood,
chicken, tandoori and Chinese dishes.
There were
several pinpricks about his appearance and doubts about
his talent. He has steadily strode to thrash them out
and today is a leading star with mass appeal. Behind
the smile is the sweat of perseverance.
