captain vijayakanth
Vijayakanth was born on 25 August 1952 in Tirumangalam, Madurai to K. N. Alagarswami and Andal. He was the youngest of four children. Alagarswami was Madurai's councillor for two terms. When Vijayakanth was one year old, his mother Andal died. To bring up the one year old baby Vijayakanth and because of the pressure exerted upon Vijayakanth's father by all the family members, the latter (Father of Vijayakanth) married one Rukmani as his second wife. This couple gave birth to 7 children. Upon entering the film industry to pursue an acting career, director Khaja (who directed his first film) changed his name to "Amritaraj" and then "Vijayakanth", dropping the "raj" out of his name and suffixing "kanth". He has also been nicknamed "Captain of Tamil industry".
