Celebrating 9 Years of Theri
It’s been nine years since Atlee’s Theri, starring Thalapathy Vijay, hit theatres in 2016. The film blended mass action with emotional storytelling, leaving a lasting mark on Tamil cinema.
A father-daughter bond, intense action, and social themes made Theri a commercial and critical success. Atlee’s direction gave Vijay one of his most loved roles, while cementing the director’s place among top-tier filmmakers.
From Theri to Pan-India Blockbusters
After Theri, Atlee delivered more hits like Mersal, Bigil, and the Shah Rukh Khan-led Jawan. Each film raised the bar in terms of scale, style, and emotion.
Atlee became known for creating heroes with heart—combining high-octane drama with strong emotional cores.
