Interest
In
Films
At
the
directors'
union
function,
Vijay
opened
up
about
the
opposition
from
his
father,
SA
Chandrasekhar,
over
his
decision
to
become
an
actor.
At
the
event,
the
Bigil
actor
said,
"I
was
quite
weak
in
studies.
After
my
10th
standard,
I
slowly
started
getting
attracted
towards
films." He
stated
that
his
father
was
against
his
wish.
Struggle
To
Impress
Father
Vijay
said
that
he
tried
to
impress
his
father
by
enacting
a
scene
from
Rajinikanth's
film,
Annamalai.
Thalapathy
said,
"Thereafter,
I
came
up
with
a
video
in
which
I
acted
the
scene
from
Rajinikanth's
Annamalai
to
convince
my
father."
"It
was
the
scene
between
Rajini
sir
and
Radha
Ravi
sir
where
the
former
challenges
the
latter," he
added.
SAC
Tried
To
Scare
Vijay
When
asked
about
the
first-day
experience
of
shooting,
considering
that
his
father
was
a
disciplined
and
a
strict
filmmaker,
SA
Chandrasekhar
(SAC)
intervened
and
said,
"I
did
not
have
a
choice
since
my
wife
had
requested
me
to
help
our
son
fulfill
his
dream.
He
had
performed
scenes
from
Rajini
sir
films
and
I
saw
the
fire
in
him.
Even
then
I
was
not
keen
on
him
pursuing
acting
career.
So,
I
decided
to
have
a
'heavy' scene
involving
Radha
Ravi
and
Sri
Vidya
and
scare
him
away
from
acting."
How
Vijay
Changed
SAC’s
Opinion?
After
giving
the
first
scene,
Vijay
indeed
impressed
his
father
and
changed
his
opinion
about
his
career
choice.
He
said,
"My
belief
was
that
he
might
quit
acting
and
decide
to
go
to
college.
However,
he
performed
the
scene
well.
I
told
my
wife
after
going
home
that
I
was
not
sure
whether
this
movie
would
be
a
hit
or
not,
but
he
would
definitely
become
a
big
actor,
someday."
