The actor met the kids, chatted with them and had some pictures taken. Needless to say, the kids were a happy lot. Vijay met the children at his office and gladly posed for photographs with them.

After six films as a child artist, Vijay persuaded his father to let him take on leading roles. His debut as a lead actor came in the 1992 film 'Naalaiya Theerpu,' also directed by his father.
