Arun Vijay Recounts The Helping Presence Of Superstar Vijay In An Interview

Arun Vijay made his acting debut in 1995 with the film 'Murai Mappillai.' The talented actor's first 20 years of career saw no blockbusters until his antagonist role in the 2015 cop drama 'Yennai Arindhaal,' which starred Ajith in the lead role. In a recent interview with a YouTube channel, Arun Vijay discussed how Vijay's advice inspired him to pursue a career as an actor, and he became emotional while recalling the toughest days of his life. The actor recalled how, in the early 2010s, he was struggling with his films and was approached by a few producers about changing his career path and how he approached Vijay through a phone call to rope him for a film under his production.

Arun went on to describe how receiving a call from him shocked Vijay. He stated that Vijay was taken aback by his decision to leave acting and instead motivated him by explaining his abilities. Vijay later invited Arun Vijay to his home for lunch and shared some encouraging words with his friend. Arun Vijay was encouraged by Vijay's friendly words, and he decided to concentrate on his acting career, informing his family and friends of his decision. Arun Vijay's success in 'Yennai Arindhaal' a year or two later helped him establish himself as one of Tamil cinema's leading heroes today.
