Vijay Sathya (previously credited as Sathya) is an Indian film actor who is known for playing lead roles in several low-key Tamil films during the late 2000s and early 2010s such as Valluvan Vasuki (2008), Sirithal Rasipen (2009), Nellu (2010) and Maharaja (2011). He also played a supporting role in Arumugam (2009). Except for Sirithal Rasipen, the other five of his films were released to negative reviews.

He took a ten year hiatus and returned with Dhil Raja (2024), which started production in 2023.

Career

edit

Sathya was looking for opportunities and met several directors.[1] During one such interaction, he met Marumalarchi Bharathi, who gave him the lead role in Valluvan Vasuki (2008).[1] Regarding his performance in that film a critic wrote that "Sathya still has a long way to go in acting".[2] Regarding his work in his next film Sirithal Rasipen, a critic noted that "Sathya is a bit stiff in some scenes but plays his part of the romantic lover well".[3] He played Bharath's rich friend in Arumugam that same year.[4] In 2010, he starred in Nellu. A critic wrote that "He is effective in the sequences where he takes on the rich and mighty".[4] Another critic wrote that "Sathya is adequate as Kathir".[5] His next films were Maharaja, Soolnilai and the unreleased film Swasame.[6][7]

He took a break from films and did an acting course in the United States.[8] He returned to films with A. Venkatesh's Dhil Raja (2024) co-starring Sherin Shringar where he plays a fan of Rajinikanth.[9] He developed six packs for his role in the film.[10]
