Thalapthy Vijay Birthday: Jana Nayagan star reportedly charges ₹100-120 cr per film; check his net worth
Tamil superstar Thalapathy Vijay aka Joseph Vijay Chandrasekhar, turned 51 on June 22. His career spans over three decades, with love for Tamil cinema. He is known for Beast, Leo, Ghilli, Mersel, Bigil among others
The actor is among the highest-paid actors in the Indian film industry. His net worth is estimated to be nearly ₹ 600 crore as of 2024. Reportedly, he commands a fee of ₹ 100–120 crore per film. Besides his earnings from movies, he also makes around Rs10 crore annually through brand endorsements, according to a Times of India report.
The actor owns a stunning seaside bungalow in Chennai, situated on Casuarina Drive in Neelankarai. Inspired by Hollywood star Tom Cruise's famous beach house, this luxurious residence boasts modern architecture and a sleek white exterior, offering spectacular views of the Bay of Bengal, reports said.
Vijay is called Thalapathy because of the term, referring commander or leader in Tamil. Fans began calling Vijay Ilaya Thalapathy, which means young commander, after his film Rasigan in 1994 got hit. Vijay was long known as Ilaya Thalapathy, but the shorter title Thalapathy became more closely linked with him following the release of his 2017 film Mersal. The title struck a chord with his fans and became a defining part of his persona, reinforcing his status as a leading figure in Kollywood.
On January 9, Jana Nayagan will release in theatres, just a few days prior to Makar Sankranti and Pongal on January 14. Helmed by H. Vinoth and produced by KVN Productions, it marks the conclusion of Vijay's acting career. The production house posted the 'First Roar' on Vijay's birthday and wrote on X, "#HBDThalapathyVijay Let the celebration continue.' Actress Nayanthara penned a heartwarming note for the actor and wished him for his upcoming film, Jana Nayagana: The First Roar.
Besides Vijay, Pooja Hegde, and Bobby Deol in the lead roles, with Prakash Raj, Narain, Priyamani, Mamitha Baiju and Monisha Blessy in important roles. Anirudh Ravichander is the music composer for the film with cinematography managed by Sathyan Sooryan and editing by Pradeep E Ragav.

Sadaa slams human cruelty towards tiger, calls for empathy and respect for wildlife
Actress-turned-wildlife photographer Sadaa expressed outrage on Saturday over a disturbing video showing a group of people pelting stones at a tiger that was calmly walking away. Sharing the clip on her Instagram, Sadaa wrote a heartfelt note condemning the insensitivity and reckless behavior of those involved, stating she felt 'ashamed to bear the label of hopeless humanity.' 'The deep sense of regret over humanity's impact on the planet and its inhabitants haunts me,' she wrote. 'It's appalling how we destroy our harmonious relationship with nature and other species, all while many remain disturbingly apathetic.' Calling for greater empathy and responsibility, Sadaa added, 'The solution seems simple: empathy, responsibility & understanding—yet it's a change that feels impossibly distant.' She revealed that the video was a forward and the incident reportedly occurred in Maharashtra. Deeply affected by the behavior seen in the clip, Sadaa extended an apology 'to every species but our own' for what she described as humanity's insensitivity and selfishness. Sadaa, who was once a top star in Tamil and Telugu cinema, has reinvented herself as a passionate wildlife photographer and activist. On World Wildlife Day, she had earlier drawn attention for her insightful post about what humans could learn from animals, particularly on the subject of consent. Using the example of a peacock's courtship ritual, she had written, 'Consent is everything. The peahen retains full control over her choices—only when impressed, mating occurs.' Her message highlighted how nature offers valuable lessons in mutual respect and boundaries. Sadaa continues to use her platform to raise awareness about the need for compassion and respect toward wildlife, urging society to reflect and reform its treatment of the natural world.
