Following Ghilli , Vijay delivered a string of consistent hits like Thirupaachi , Sivakasi , and Pokkiri (2007). Pokkiri , directed by Prabhu Deva, is arguably one of his most iconic films, showcasing a gritty, darker action hero. During this phase, his dialogue delivery and dance moves became his signature strengths. He followed this success with the emotional action-drama Kaavalan (2011), which proved he could still draw family audiences despite the influx of action-heavy roles.
Thuppakki and Kaththi are the pillars of modern Vijay. They showed he could carry serious, message-driven films. vijay tamil movie list
