Vijay as a gangster's son coaching a women's football team — 'Singappenney' became an anthem for women's empowerment across Tamil Nadu.
Broke all-time Diwali opening records (site records) and completed Atlee's blockbuster hat-trick with Vijay.
The father-son dual role of Rayappan and Michael gave Vijay two of his most loved characters in a single film.
Bigil (2019) stands among the commercial high points of Vijay's 69-film journey as a lead actor — a film that resonated deeply with audiences and reinforced his stature as one of Tamil cinema's most bankable stars of the 2010s. Every blockbuster in this filmography was another step on the road that ultimately led from cinema halls to the Chief Minister's chair.
