Read on and enjoy reading about Thalapathy and his awe-inspiring career. Much before he became the Ilayathalapathy, his father SAC, envisaged Vijay as a mass hero on the Superstar mould and his initial movies were all filled with commercial and mass elements. However Vijay endeared himself to the audience with his subtle acting in a number of films and here we list you ten of those as a Vijay b'day special slide show.
'Poove Unakkaga' (1996) - Raja
In director Vikraman's wholesome family entertainer, Vijay gives one of his best performances with a boy next door charm. He got a golden opportunity to showcase his comedic and sentimental side to blockbuster results.
'Love Today (1997) - Ganesh
Balasekaran, gave an author backed role to Vijay who played an obsessive lover losing his all for his lady and finally relents to convey a much important message to the youth.
'Kadhalukku Mariyadhai' (1997) - Jeeva
Fazil's mega hit had Vijay as a carefree youth who loves his parents and falls in love and wins the girl not by action but emotions.
'Priyamanavale' (2000) - Vijay
Vijay took on a mature and controversial role as a man who forces the heroine into a trial marriage and finally realizes what true love is.
'Vaseegara' (2003) - Bhupathy
Vijay played second fiddle to the heroine Sneha but audience won't notice it as he excelled as a playful fun loving young man who wins over his lady betrothed to another.
'Sachein' (2005) - Sachein
A film that won hearts unanimously has Vijay shunning his action hero image to portray the subtle role of a college student and his love scenes with Genelia are as memorable as his comedy duets with Vadivelu and Santhanam.
'Kavalan' (2011) - Bhoominathan
The title may suggest an actioner but this one from seasoned Malayalam veteran Siddique had Vijay once again in an out and out comedy role combining with Vadivelu and a chance to excel in the emotion packed climax.
'Nanban' (2012) - Paari/ Kosakshi Pasapugazh
If you calculate screen time Vijay's character as the mysterious Paari will probably come last after Sathyan, Srikanth, Jiiva, Sathyaraj and Illeana. But Vijay's subtle acting in this remake of '3Idiots' is as convincing as Aamir Khan's in the original.
'Kaththi' (2014) - Kathiresan/ Jeevanandham
A.R. Murugadoss wrote two roles for Vijay and both Kathiresan and Jeevanandham were portrayed realistically and probably this is the standout element that attracted audiences who forgave the otherwise wayward script and took the relevant message delivered in monologue by their mass hero.
'Puli' (2015) - Marudheeran/ Pulivendhan
Inspite of becoming a box office debacle, the Ilayathalapathy deserves laurels for experimenting in a new type of role aimed at children audiences who have nothing to complain about this fantasy adventure.
