Joseph
Vijay
Chandrasekhar,

Vijay

(June
22).
The
stalwart
started
off
his
acting
career
as
a
child
artist
with
the
1984
film
Vetri.
In
1992,
Tamil
audience
witnessed
the
arrival
of
one
of
the
charming
youngsters
in
Kollywood,
as
Vijay
finally
made
his
much-anticipated
debut
as
a
lead
actor
with
Naalaiya
Theerpu
helmed
by
his
father
and
renowned
director
SA
Chandrasekhar.
With
each
blockbuster
film
that
came
to
his
way
including
Nerukku
Ner
(1997),
Priyamanavale
(2000),
Kushi
(2000),
Shahjahan
(2001),
Badri
(2001),
Friends
(2001),
Thirupaachi
(2005),
Pokkiri
(2007),
Kaavalan
(2011),
Nanban
(2012),
Theri
(2016),
Sarkar
(2018),
Bigil
(2019)
and
Master
(2021),
the
actor
only
proved
that
he
is
undeniably
an
indispensable
part
of
Tamil
Film
Industry
and
his
celebrated
epithet
'Thalapathy'
is
the
proof.
Not
to
mention,
his
massive
fan
following
that
in
itself
talks
volume.
Well,
as
Vijay
celebrates
his
47th
birthday
today,
we
bring
you
six
throwback
pictures
of
the
actor
that
will
for

take

lane.
They
Call
Him
Master!
This
unseen
BTS
picture
was
taken
from
the
sets
of
Master
while
Vijay
and
Vijay
Sethupathi
were
shooting
for
the
film's
teaser
poster.
Notably,
the
intriguing
poster
featuring
the
two
actors
was
released
on
November
12,
2020,
two
days
before
the
team
unveiled
the
highly
expected
teaser.
Best
Family
Portrait
We
can't
get
enough
of
this
picture
of
Vijay
with
his
parents
Shoba
Chandrasekhar
and
SA
Chandrasekhar.
The
monochrome
priceless
snap
definitely
makes
for
the
perfect
family
portrait.
Candid
Click
With
Mohanlal
Captured
from
the
sets
of
Jilla
(2014),
this
picture
of
Vijay
and
superstar
Mohanlal
is
purely
unmissable.
As
we
can't
get
enough
of
the
duo's
bonding,
we
wonder
what
they
were
up
to.
On
a
related
note,
earlier,
during
his
interaction
with
media,
the
Malayalam
actor
had
expressed
his
feelings
towards
Thalapathy
as
he
said,
"I
have
known
him
earlier.
We
have
met
each
other
at
a
few
functions
but
never
had
the
opportunity
to
interact
frequently.
I
feel
that
he
is
my
younger
brother."
Friends-
Suriya
And
Vijay
Not
just
in
films,
Vijay

share
a
special
camaraderie
off-screen.
Well,
this
throwback
picture
is
taken
from
the
sets
of
the
duo's
2001
film
Friends.
For
the
unversed,
the
two
superstars
have
also
teamed
up
in
the
past
for
Nerrukku
Ner
(1997)
and
a
docudrama
titled
Herova?
Zerova?
(2008).
Fun

Bigile!
We
can't
afford
to
miss
this

Thalapathy
And
Thala

picture
captured
back
in
2008
during
one
of
the
IPL
(Indian
Premier
League)
matches
went
viral
on
social
media
for
obvious
reasons,
including
