No actor in this world blooms all of a sudden. Each and every actor has to come across a lot of ups and downs to reach an esteemed position in his life. A fair example would be Ilayathalapathy Vijay.
The S.A Chandrasekar starrer ‘Naiyapudai’ directed by debutant Vijay Kiran was launched recently at Prasad labs, Chennai where he got to reminisce about his son Vijay and his struggle to reach the top.
"You cannot just dream to become an actor, you need to train yourself in various fields and become eligible. This was my first piece of advice when Vijay wanted to enter the film industry. I used to take him to the beach with Jaguar Thangam at 4:30 am for stunt and horse trainings.
According to me, if one knows to dance and fight, he can become a hero and directors can mould them into actors. I made Vijay a hero with these 2 skills and he became an actor after films like Poove Unakkaga."
Producer Kalaipuli S. Thanu, Pa.Vijay and other prominent celebrities attended the event.
