Vignesh’s journey in cinema began with humble beginnings, as he took on the ambitious project of directing, writing, and acting in his debut short film, “Podaa Podi.” The film was a labor of love that took him four years to complete, showcasing his dedication and passion for storytelling.
In 2012, Vignesh made a significant foray into music direction with the Tamil song “The Love Anthem,” which marked the beginning of his venture into the music scene. His creative prowess continued to shine as he directed various Tamil songs, including the popular “Chancey Illa” in 2014 and “Enakenna Yaarum Illaye” in 2015. By 2013, he further established his songwriting credentials by penning the Tamil track “Engadi Poranthae” for the film “Vanakkam Chennai,” further solidifying his presence in the industry.
His acting career also took a leap forward with a cameo in the 2014 Tamil film “Velaiyilla Pattathari,” where he portrayed an engineer. However, it was in 2015 that Vignesh truly made his mark as a filmmaker with “Naanum Rowdydhaan,” a film that featured Vijay Sethupathi and Nayanthara in leading roles. His direction was met with critical acclaim, earning him the Best Director Award at the SIIMA Awards, a testament to his skill and vision as a director. Vignesh continued to flourish in the industry, writing and directing several notable films, including “Thaanaa Serndha Koottam” (2018), “Paava Kadhaigal” (2020), and “Kaathuvaakula Rendu Kaadhal” (2022), each contributing to his growing reputation as a leading figure in Tamil cinema.
