#HBDDarlingOfMassVIJAY #HBDVijay : Journey from B-Grade actor to Power Star !
Actor Vijay who forayed into industry with 'Naalaya Theerpu' has came a long way and now he has been a powerful actor in Kollywood. It is not an easy task to data-face such harsh criticism and negative comments and then snap out of it.

Vijay started his career as B-grade actor and it was 'Poove Unakaga' which gave him the break through. Even though he came to industry in 1992, his first success came in 1996. Director Vikraman in an interview said, he was the one who changed the 'B-grade' actor image to Romantic actor.
Similarly, it was 'Thirumalai' in 2003 which made him a commercial hero. But the success of 'Ghilli' (Mahesh Babu's Okkadu) took him to new heights. But that gave over confidence and all the movies failed after that. AR Murugadoss came as a saviour and his career bounced back with 'Thuppakki' and 'Kaththi'.

Despite facing numerous controversies and stuff, he still stands tall in Tamil Cinema Industry. Today the actor enters 42 and on behalf of Team APHerald, we wish him a Very Happy Birthday !
