Ilayathalapathi Vijay started out acting in films produced and directed by his father S. A. Chandrasekhar. Though he had a rather sedate beginning, he skyrocketed as the boy-next-door in movies such as 'Poove Unakaga', 'Khadalukku Mariyadhai', 'Love Today', etc.

Then came action oriented stories and Vijay excelled in them building a complete mass appeal that very few like Rajinikanth can boast of. Vijay's skill at dancing and fighting has made him the undisputed leader among young actors. He is in a position wherein after a few years could very well become the undisputed superstar of Tamil Cinema.

The actor is currently working with Prabhu Deva for the film 'Villu'. Buzz is that this is his 48th movie. His 49th venture would be with AVM Studios. Would the highly popular actor have special plans for his 50th?

Grapevine has it that he would be making his fiftieth film under his own banner V.V. Creations. Would that involve his dad as the director? Too early to speculate. One has to give it to S. A. Chandrasekhar for making Vijay the person that he is today.
