Vijay Septhupathi is celebrating his 46th birthday today. He is receiving immense love and blessings from his fans and family. Vijay is one of the leading stars of the South Indian cinema. The actor is known for his down-to-earth attitude and simplicity. He has done roles from immense categories and stood out to be the most versatile actor.

However, the journey leading to his stardom has been thriving. He has struggled, coming from a non-acting background. The actor has been unrecognized in the industry for a long time but he proved his self-worth through sheer dedication. Initially, he was pursuing a job as an event decorator. He wanted to enter into the acting business and was non-credited for his roles.
Eventually, he fell in love and married his wife. When he was blessed with a boy, Vijay thought that his responsibilities have increased and subsequently he was employed as an accountant. He worked in the respective fields in Dubai and Chennai.

While returning to India, he again tried his luck at movies. The actor approached theatres to learn acting but he ended up employing as an accountant. While working there, he observed actors and understood various variations of acting under the guidance of Na Muthuswamy.
Vijay realized that acting cannot be taught and it comes from within. Though facing the primary disparities, his objective was to buy a house and a car and provide for his family.
In 2006, he started acting and played supporting roles. The actor made himself open to doing all sorts of roles and wasn’t even hesitant to work with leading stars. His simple and sober nature won over the audience’s hearts and he managed to showcase his talent.
Vijay got his break in 2010 when he was offered a lead role in Thenmerku Paruvakaatru. He was highly appreciated for his incredible acting. In 2012, he became a well-known actor in films such as Pizza, Sundarapandian and Naduvula Konjam Pakkatha Kaanom.

Since then, he has played an incredible role in many such films and rose to fame with his truest skills. Vijay, known for his simplicity never transitioned after attaining recognition. He always acted positively with debutant actors as well and is appreciated for his calm nature.
Many of his films didn’t do well at the box office. But the actor never blamed his co-stars or team. He always accepted his mistakes and acknowledged why his movies couldn’t do well.
In 2019, he won a Nation Film Award for Best Supporting Role. The actor made his debut this year in the Bollywood industry with Jawan. The movie turned out to be the highest-grossing film of 2023. He even starred in the Farzi series.
Now the actor’s recent film Merry Christmas is running the theatres. He is cast opposite Katrina Kaif in the film. Directed by Sriram Raghavan, the film was released on the 12th of January 2024.
