Tamil Superstar Thalapathy Vijay celebrates his 44th birthday today. On behalf of the entire LatestLY desk, we wish the dashing star Many Many Happy Returns of the Day!

Along with Rajinikanth, Ajith Kumar (who is considered as his closest rival by their hardcore fans) and Suriya, Vijay is one of the topmost superstars ruling Tamil cinema. Especially in recent times, Vijay has been delivering blockbusters on the trot, save for the goddamn awful fantasy thriller Puli. His last release Mersal was not only one of the biggest hits of his career, but also of Tamil cinema's as well. On the eve of his birthday, fans of Vijay also got a special treat in the form of the first look of his next movie, Sarkar.

Talking more about the actor, Vijay is not just known for his stylish action sequences and his trademark quips and quirks. He is also an excellent dancer. So in this special feature, we will celebrate Thalapathy the dancer through these very five favourite dance numbers of ours.

Thaam Thakka Theem Thakka – Thirumalai

This is by far my favourite Vijay dance number, where we get to see the superstar delivering some smooth movies, matching Raghavendra Lawrence's excellent steps.

Aadunga Yennai Suthi - Pokkiri

From matching steps with one ace choreographer to another! This number from the superhit Pokkiri is a complete mass song and has Vijay in his elements. It is a treat to watch, especially when Prabhu Deva joins him!

Naa Adicha Saravedi - Sura

When it comes to his career, Sura is a disappointment for sure. But the dancer in Vijay surely impresses us in this catchy track.

Appadi Podu - Gilli

Come one, how can you stop your feet from grooving when you listen to this absolute blast of a song? Vijay is just damn brilliant here!

Daddy Mummy - Villu

Everything about this song, from the terrific music to Mamta Mohandas' singing to Vijay's athletic moves, everything screams CHARTBUSTER!

So what's your favourite dance number of Vijay? Share them in the comments section below!
