The very first breakthrough the movie for Tamil actor Vijay was, Tamil movie Poovey unakkaha which was directed by the Tamil director, Vikraman. I still remember the fulfilling theaters for this Poovey unakkaha movie in my early ages at my local town, Tuticorin. This movie was running successfully in the theaters for more than 250 days for its nice triangular love story. Soon after the success of this cinema, he got into the eyes of the main Tamil directors even though he had shown his talents in his previous movies.
The second breakthrough of him was in the movie, Kaadhalukku mariyadhai in which he had paired with Tamil actress Shalini. That’s all... After the rocking hit of Kaadhalukku mariyadhai, Vijay got continuous victories like, Kushi which was directed by S. J.

Even though Thalayapathy Vijay has got a strong place in the heart of Tamil people based on his way of dancing and clear pronunciation of the Tamil language during the 90’s itself, he got his peak level of fame in his career only after his shining in the action movies, especially in the movie Ghilli. One of the interesting pieces of information about him at the shooting spot of his movie Ghilli is, he acted without any makeup in that movie after a very long period of time. We can say the important breakthrough in the Filmy career of Tamil actor Vijay is this Movie, Ghilli in which Vijay acted pairing with Trisha The year of release of this movie Ghilli is 2004.

The comedy scenes of Tamil Cinema comedian Vaigai puyal Vadivelu in that movie, Sachin have been admired by the Tamil cinema audience even today on Television.
