Home Entertainment So many stars in one family? Father, son, daughters and grandsons all worked in onw film, it's name is…, they are… So many stars in one family? Father, son, daughters and grandsons all worked in onw film, it's name is…, they are… Three generations of Vijayakumar's family came together on-screen in Oh My Dog, proving their cinematic legacy is far from fading. When we think of film stars' families in the South industry, Ram Charan or Nagarjuna may come to our mind. But Tamil cinema's quiet powerhouse, Vijayakumar's family, holds a unique place, a clan that spans three active generations in front of the camera. Veteran actor Vijayakumar passed on the baton to his son Arun Vijay, who carved out a name for himself as a stylish and intense performer. Now, Arun's son, Arnav Vijay, has stepped into the spotlight, completing a cinematic trilogy across generations. The trio made headlines when they appeared together in the 2022 Tamil film Oh My Dog, produced by Jyothika and Suriya, and directed by Sarov Shanmugam. Seeing grandfather, father, and grandson in one frame was nothing short of an emotional treat for fans. Is it just the men carrying the legacy? Not at all. The Vijayakumar family's daughters have also made their mark. Vanitha Vijayakumar once shared screen space with superstar Vijay in Chandralekha. Preetha Vijayakumar featured in films like Alli Arjuna and Pungan Desam. Sridevi Vijayakumar has credits in Priyamana Thozhi, Thithikkuthe, and Devathai Kanden. What's more? Vijayakumar's son-in-law is none other than acclaimed director Hari, and his granddaughter Jovika is entering the scene as a producer with Mr. and Mrs. Is this the biggest acting family in Tamil cinema? By sheer volume and longevity, yes. From screen legends to rising stars, and now storytellers behind the camera, Vijayakumar's family might just be Tamil cinema's most complete film legacy. A family where scripts, sets, and stardom are quite literally in their blood. For breaking news and live news updates, like us on Facebook or follow us on Twitter and Instagram.
