The director has churned out many films focusing on social justice, including Vetri (1984) and Naan Sigappu Manithan (1985). The film was directed by the chief architect of Vijay’s screen image, his father SA Chandrasekhar. Although the movie was a flop, it suggested early on that Vijay was going to lay claim to the mantle of the socially conscious hero. The seeds of Vijay’s carefully crafted screen persona as the man with the solution to Tamil Nadu’s problems were sown in his first film as an adult, Naalaiya Theerpu (1992).
In Mersal (2017), his character declares, “It takes ten months for a baby to be born, three years for a person to graduate but it takes an entire era for a leader to emerge.” In Thirumalai (2003), it is “In life, what goes around comes around, winners turn losers”.
In Bairavaa (2017) and Mersal (2017), Vijay’s characters tackle medical malpractice in Theri (2016), he is agitated about crimes against women in Kaththi (2014), it is displacement and in Thuppakki (2012), terrorism.
The movies combine punches and punch dialogue, fuelling rumours that Vijay is eyeing a future in Tamil Nadu politics. The intent is verbalised, as the trailer reveals: “Get ready folks, seek and find the right leader for your city because that’s how we are going to form our government.”Īll of Vijay’s recent films have been designed to lay claim to his lineage as a Tamil screen icon on the lines of MG Ramachandran and Rajinikanth. Vijay’s businessman resolves to stay back and clean up the corruption in the Indian political system. In the November 6 release, the 44-year-old actor plays a non-resident Indian businessman who returns to the country to vote in the Tamil Nadu assembly elections, only to discover that a bogus vote has been cast in his name.
