Vijay's very first film appearance as a child actor at age 10. A small but significant beginning for Tamil cinema's future legend.
One of Vijay's two child-artist appearances, made before his debut as a lead actor in Naalaiya Theerpu (1992). These early roles are counted separately from his 69 films as lead.
Vijay's very first screen appearance, at age 10, as a child artist.
The beginning of a journey that would span more than four decades and end with him becoming Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu.
Vetri (1984) remains a notable chapter in Vijay's long cinema journey — part of the wide-ranging, genre-spanning filmography he built during the 1980s on the way to becoming one of Tamil cinema's most enduring icons and, eventually, Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu.
