Career

Vijay is a native of Kumbakonam but grew up in Coimbatore. He met K. Bhagyaraj through his brother, who was a family friend and worked with him in films and his magazine, Bhagya. Vijay made his debut at lyricist in Gnanapazham in 1996 and went on to write many popular songs.[1]

Vijay was originally supposed to make his acting debut with Thaai Kaaviyam however the film was shelved after the launch.[2] He then made his acting debut with Gnabagangal (2009) for which he also wrote the script. The film received negative reviews and went unnoticed at box office.[3][4]

Vijay then acted in Ilaignan (2011), scripted by M. Karunanidhi where he was portrayed as a bonded labour of a ship. The film became a failure at the box office.[5] Vijay made his debut as producer and director with Strawberry (2015).[6]
