Vijay Sethupathi celebrates his 48th birthday today, January 16, 2026. Known for his versatile performances in Tamil and Telugu cinema, he has emerged as one of the most bankable stars in the Indian film industry.

Born in Rajapalayam, Tamil Nadu, Sethupathi moved to Chennai during his childhood. His journey into films began with challenges; his first audition in 1994 for the film Nammavar was unsuccessful. He later moved to Dubai, working as an accountant before returning to pursue acting. His major breakthrough came in 2010 with the critically acclaimed film Thenmerku Paruvakkaatru.

Today, Vijay Sethupathi reportedly commands a fee of Rs 15 crore per film, with an estimated net worth of Rs 140 crore. On the career front, he will next be seen in the Hindi silent film Gandhi Talks, set for theatrical release on January 30, 2026. Additionally, he is currently filming Slum Dog 33 Temple Road, directed by Puri Jagannadh, which is expected to be his biggest pan-India release, with Telugu and Tamil versions seeing a massive rollout.
