Ilayathalapathy Vijay's onscreen debut happened this very same day the 17th of February, 32 years back (1984). Barely at the age of 10, Vijay did a cameo for his father SA Chandrashekar's film Vetri starring Vijayakanth.
Nobody knew, 10 years later, Vijay would debut as a hero and then with the test of time become a celebrated star. But, today is definitely a special day in Vijay's life for it was the beginning of an eventful journey.
Having completed Theri and busy preparing himself for Bharathan's next which will be Vijay's 60th film, fans and film-lovers would like to make a note of this day which officially brought Vijay into silver screen.
