Vijay Antony is a leading musician, actor, sound engineer, and lyricist. He has dedicated himself to the Tamil film industry since 2005. Though he entered the industry as a music composer in 2005 for the film Sukran, he later expanded his career into acting with his debut in Naan (2012), which was both a critical and commercial success.
Agni To Vijay
After completing his education, Vijay worked as a sound engineer in a studio set up by him. His interest in music led him to compose the background score for many TV shows, advertisements, and jingles. Although Oscar Ravichandran, a renowned film distributor and producer, initially approached Vijay for his movie Dishyum, Vijay’s debut as a music composer came from the movie Sukran. Vijay entered the industry under the name Agni, but director S. A. Chandrasekhar later gave him the stage name Vijay.

Throughout his career, Vijay has composed music for films such as A Aa E Ee, TN 07 AL 4777, Mariyadhai, Ninaithale Inikkum, Vettaikaaran, Aval Peyar Thamizharasi, Uthama Puthiran, Vedi, and Velayudham. One film which earned him a Cannes Golden Lion award, as India’s best music director, was Kadhalil Vizhunthen. In this film, the track Naaka Mukka, known for its Tamil folk street music style, garnered widespread acclaim. Apart from the Tamil industry, Vijay composed music for other regional languages such as Telugu and Kannada. Vijay also renders music for his own movies.
Silver Screen
In 2012, he began to perform on the big canvas. Since then, Vijay has donned various roles and entertained the audience through a perfect blend of action, drama, and thriller films. While a few films managed to receive positive responses, others received favourable reviews.
