Joseph Vijay Chandrasekhar (born 22 June 1974), known professionally as Vijay, is an Indian actor and singer who works predominantly in Tamil cinema. He is among the highest paid actors in India and has featured in Forbes India's Celebrity 100 list since 2012. He has played the lead in 66 films and the International Business Times framed him as a "consistent performer". Referred to as "Thalapathy", Vijay has a significant following internationally. He has won several awards, including a South Indian International Movie Award.
At the age of 10, Vijay started his film career as a child actor in Vetri (1984), making his first paycheck of ₹500 rupees paid for by actor-and-producer P. S. Veerappa. He then performed as a child actor in films such as Kudumbam (1984), Vasantha Raagam (1986), Sattam Oru Vilayaattu (1987) and Ithu Engal Neethi (1988). He also performed in Naan Sigappu Manithan (1985) as a co-star to Rajinikanth, who was the lead actor. Vijay started to play lead roles at the age of 18 starting with Naalaiya Theerpu (1992). Vijay then appeared in the films Sendhoorapandi, Rasigan, Deva and Coimbatore Mappillai. They were commercially successful, though not critically acclaimed.
His next film Thalaivaa, directed by A. L. Vijay, was released on 9 August 2013 worldwide to mixed reports, and had a delayed release in Tamil Nadu. Thalaivaa was overall a box office failure.
The film Jilla released in 2014 and ended up as a box office hit. Vijay again worked with AR Murugadoss in the action thriller Kaththi. The film released to critical acclaim. The Los Angeles Times called Kaththi a "success in style". Kaththi collected ₹130 crore at the box office. It was the second-highest-grossing Tamil film of 2014.
The action-thriller Theri directed by Atlee was released in April 2016 to mixed reviews from critics and audiences, with one reviewer criticizing the actor's performance and the "predictable" storyline. It was the second-highest-grossing Tamil film of 2016 and Vijay's second film to gross over ₹1,710,000,000. In 2017, the masala film Bairavaa was released. It received mixed reviews and it collected ₹115 crore at the box office.
His 61st film, the action thriller Mersal, was directed by Atlee and released Diwali of 2017. It was both a critical and commercial success, becoming the first of Vijay's films to gross over ₹2.5 billion. The film was also released in Japan in the cities of Tokyo, Ebina, Osaka and Nakaya. For his role in Mersal, Vijay was nominated for Best Actor at the National Film Awards UK in 2018. The film won the Best Foreign Language Film award at the same event. The film was Vijay's third film to be released in China after Kaavalan (2011) and Puli (2015).
