“Sathyamoorthy” of” Pokkiri”, “Muthappa” of “Sivakasi”, “Sachein” of “Sachein’, “Sivagiri” of “Thirupachi” and “Saravanavel” of Ghilli---------what is the common thread that links all these unforgettable characters?

When you ponder over it for a few minutes, the answer is very obvious- they are the names of the characters that Vijay has portrayed in his films, and they are all funny, endearing, mischievious, impulsive and romantic guys, with a larger- than -life appeal.

I myself became an ardent fan of Vijay after I saw “Ghilli”, and I have watched every one of his movies ever since. What I like best about him is his flawless dialogue delivery—no matter what kind of scene it is, his every word is packed with so much sincerity, conviction and resolve.

Another question which constantly plagues me is how he manages to look younger by the day….what is your secret Vijay??

“Illayathalapathy” essentially means “young leader” or “youth icon” and Vijay definitely is one in every sense of the word.

On recently being conferred an honorary doctorate for his tremendous contribution to Tamil cinema and all the social causes that he supports, we at Behindwoods wish him more success, power, glory, claps and whistles.
