“He did it exactly the way it was in the film, especially the line mark this date in your calendar,” Chandrasekhar recalled. Vijay enacted a scene from Annamalai (1992), the one in which Rajinikanth challenges Sarath Babu. Vijay told Chandrasekhar that he wanted to headline a movie. The watchman recognised me and said, your son is inside watching a movie” My wife and I searched everywhere and I eventually landed up at Udhayam theatre. We found a note on the dining table that said that he was leaving us and that we shouldn’t search for him. One day, he left the house at ten in the morning and didn’t come back even as the sun was setting. “When he told me that he wanted to be an actor, I said no. “After losing my two-year-old daughter to blood cancer, I had decided that my son, who was ten when my daughter died, would become a doctor,” Chandrasekhar said. “Say we narrate a story for about two and a half hours – in that duration, at least for 15 minutes, either in the beginning, middle or in the end, we should try to impart some good values, a good social message to the people,” he said.Ĭhandrasekhar actually wanted his son to practise medicine. “Each one of us has to realise and remember that we are a part of this society and hence have a responsibility towards it.”Ĭinema is more than a medium for entertainment, Chandrasekhar told Scroll.in. “Earning a degree, getting married and finding a job – is this what you think is our duty as men and women?” Vijay says in one scene. The character, also named Vijay, holds forth on the need for a people’s revolution led by the youth. Both Vetri and Sattam Oru Vilayattu (1987) starred Vijay as a child actor.Ĭhandrasekhar wrote and directed Naalaiya Theerpu, and cast his 18-year-old son as an idealistic college student. The director has churned out many films focusing on social justice, including Vetri (1984) and Naan Sigappu Manithan (1985). The film was directed by the chief architect of Vijay’s screen image, his father SA Chandrasekhar.

Although the movie was a flop, it suggested early on that Vijay was going to lay claim to the mantle of the socially conscious hero. The seeds of Vijay’s carefully crafted screen persona as the man with the solution to Tamil Nadu’s problems were sown in his first film as an adult, Naalaiya Theerpu (1992). In Mersal (2017), his character declares, “It takes ten months for a baby to be born, three years for a person to graduate but it takes an entire era for a leader to emerge.” In Thirumalai (2003), it is “In life, what goes around comes around, winners turn losers”. In Bairavaa (2017) and Mersal (2017), Vijay’s characters tackle medical malpractice in Theri (2016), he is agitated about crimes against women in Kaththi (2014), it is displacement and in Thuppakki (2012), terrorism. The movies combine punches and punch dialogue, fuelling rumours that Vijay is eyeing a future in Tamil Nadu politics. The intent is verbalised, as the trailer reveals: “Get ready folks, seek and find the right leader for your city because that’s how we are going to form our government.”Īll of Vijay’s recent films have been designed to lay claim to his lineage as a Tamil screen icon on the lines of MG Ramachandran and Rajinikanth. Vijay’s businessman resolves to stay back and clean up the corruption in the Indian political system. In the November 6 release, the 44-year-old actor plays a non-resident Indian businessman who returns to the country to vote in the Tamil Nadu assembly elections, only to discover that a bogus vote has been cast in his name. Tamil movie star Vijay is back with another potential box office scorcher: AR Murugadoss’s Sarkar.
