Director S. Shankar's Tamil remake of the Bollywood blockbuster 3 Idiots.
Vijay's engineering-genius Pari won praise for balancing comedy, emotion and message — proof of his range beyond mass roles.
Nanban (2012) 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.
