00:00You might think you know Thalapati Vijay, but do you really know him if you haven't watched any of these
00:05films?
00:05Here are 5 Thalapati Vijay films which define his aura.
00:09Number 1, Kadalukku Mariyadei, which translates to Respect for Love.
00:13This 1997 film is directed by Fazil, father of Fahad Fazil, and stars Vijay and Shalini in the lead role.
00:21A classic old school love story.
00:23It follows a couple from contrasting backgrounds who fight against family opposition to be together.
00:29A classic inter-religion love story.
00:32Number 2, Gilly.
00:33Named after its titular character, this 2004 sports action entertainer directed by Darani features Vijay, Trisha, and Prakash Raj in
00:42the lead role.
00:43The story follows Gilly, a Kabadi player who travels to Madurai for a sports match,
00:48but ends up rescuing a woman from a gang leader who wants to marry her.
00:52Now while the film is dated, trust me, the story is a lot more deeper than what it seems like
00:57from here.
00:58Number 3, Tupaki.
00:59Directed by AR Murugados, this 2012 action thriller stars Vijay, Vidyut Jamwal, and Kajalagarwal in the lead.
01:07The film revolves around an Indian army intelligence officer who is on a mission to dismantle a cybercell network and
01:13eliminate its mastermind.
01:15Sounds familiar, doesn't it?
01:17This is the original to Akshay Kumar's Holiday, the 2014 super hit film.
01:21Number 4, Katti.
01:22Yet another collaboration with AR Murugados, Katti is a 2014 action drama with a strong social message.

01:54Biggill is a sports action drama which speaks about women's empowerment and equality in opportunity when it comes to sports.
02:01Although in the most commercial way possible.
02:04The film follows Michael Biggill Rayappan, a former footballer turned gangster, who ends up becoming the coach of the Tamil
02:11Nadu women's football team.
02:13Blending sports, emotions and mass appeal, the film released on October 25, 2019 and emerged as the highest grossing Tamil
02:22film of that year.
