Sanjay, Ilayathalapathi Vijay's son, was seen shaking a leg alongside his father in Vettaikaaran! It was assumed that following in his father's footsteps, he too would embark on a career in cinema! However, the buzz is that, the little lad wants to become a cricketer. But, being the doting dad that he is, Vijay understands that like all children of his age, his son Sanjay’s aspirations and interests also keep changing! And so, he is backing his children all the way, to pursue their interests. To help with Sanjay's choice, Vijay has reportedly hired a personal coach for Sanjay, to develop his game.

In an interesting revelation, Vijay stated that he always plays the music of his movies to Sanjay first, and if his son is appreciative, then he knows for sure that the song will become a hit. Vijay stated that the 'Google google' track from Thuppakki, is an example!
