How Yana Supervisor gearing up to release on July 23, 2026 (Thursday), possibly the last in actor Vijay’s filmography as he is busy playing the role of Tamil Nadu Chief Minister K. Joseph Vijay, let’s take a leap back in time. The year 1992 came to an end and on December 2, Vijay made his first appearance as a solo hero. Naalaya Terpu was released.
When I was 18 years old, I received my B.S. (Visual Communication) at Loyola College, Chennai, this was the moment when Vijay abandoned his earlier image as a child artist and forged a new path. Many at the university knew that he was the son of director S.A. Chandrasekhar, and at a college with alumni like actors Vikram and Arvind Swamy, stardust and glitter seemed inevitable.
