Vijay has always been a different kind of individual.

When actors aspire to make it big winning awards one after another, Vijay’s mind has been on winning the minds of the public.

And that’s what sets him apart.

The actor says, “I am not for any awards or recognition. People appreciated my movies and good box office collection alone is my national award”.

It may be noted the Vikram has returned triumphant from New Delhi receiving the national award for best actor last week.

Vijay busy with his Sachin being directed by John and produced by Kalaipuli Thanu says, “I am not in the rat race for accolades and awards”
.
Asked about Thirupachi's grand opening, Vijay says, “it was a action packed emotional film, which I knew would make it big. All credit should go to director Perarasu and producer R B Choudhary for it. My forthcoming movie Sachin produced by Thanu in a grand manner, quite typical to his style, too has so far come good'.

Asked about Chennai being pictured as city of goons in Tirupachi, Vijay says, “films are a medium of exaggeration and no doubt the scenes are bit exaggerated. I have no grouse against this city, where I grew up”.

Vijay, as we said, is different.
