The happening actor of Kollywood, Vijay Sethupathi, has faced so many struggles before and after entering the film industry. Hailing from Rajapalayam, he was a below-average student in school and didn’t possess any interest in sports or extracurricular activities. Some of the low – profile jobs he ended up doing were salesman at a retail store, cashier at a fast food joint, operator at a phone booth counter, account assistant at a wholesale cement company. In 2003 he moved to Dubai and worked as an accountant to support his family. But, he soon returned to India in the same year looking out for a change. His journey in cinema began in 2004, he joined as an accountant in Koothupattarai (Chennai based theatre group), grabbed an opportunity to act in TV soaps, then moved to short films, did many uncredited roles in films, and finally ‘Pizza’ (2011) brought his acting to the limelight. After so much struggle, he has now reached the height that he truly deserves!
