(I'm not sure, correct me on this one) so when he came in everyone was like, "hey, new guy, and after Aasai oh he's good." But for Vijay, people expected more of him, and unfortunately because of his dad's dumb movies, Vijay couldn't prove it until Poove Unakkaga which was pretty early in his career. However, I remember people didn't exactly think Ajith was handsome in his early early movies was he looked painfully thin and his face was small, but he slowly become handsome. Same thing with Vijay. People said he had a mouse face.
