ACTOR VIJAY BIOGRAPHY

Vijay (Tamil), (born Joseph Vijay Chandrasekhar on June 22, 1974) is a Tamil film actor and playback singer. He began his acting career doing many minor uncredited roles as a child artist, produced by his father S. A. Chandrasekhar. Post-Thirumalai, he began portraying a commercial and stereotypical style, much like Rajinikanth and M. G. Ramachandran. Vijay has more recently become a charismatic film star in Tamil cinema and was described as "a silent champ" by Kamal Haasan.
