Thalapathy Vijay just pulled off one of Indian cinema’s most dramatic real-life plot twists — winning the Tamil Nadu election. But now, something unexpected is trending alongside his political victory: his Class 10 mark sheet. Yes, the same Vijay who rules the silver screen apparently had a very normal school life, and fans can’t get enough of it.
According to reports cited by The Times of India, Vijay is said to have scored 711 out of 1100 in his Class 10 public examinations, giving him 64.6% — placing him in the First Class category. Not a topper, not a failure — just a regular student who went on to become one of Tamil cinema’s biggest superstars.

Thalapathy Vijay: Subject-wise Breakdown

| English | — | — |

The mark sheet suggests a mixed academic performance, with Science being his strongest subject at 206 out of 300. Mathematics, however, appears to be his lowest-scoring subject with 95 out of 200. Basically, Vijay and math weren’t the best of friends — something millions of students can deeply relate to.
From Loyola Dropout to Chief Minister?
After his schooling, Vijay joined Loyola College to pursue a course in Visual Communication. However, he eventually dropped out and entered the film industry after developing a fascination for acting. The rest, as they say, is history — and quite possibly, the future of Tamil Nadu politics.
It’s worth noting that Tamil Nadu‘s political landscape has long been shaped by film icons, from MGR to Jayalalithaa, and Vijay appears to be following that storied tradition in a big way.

A word of caution though: the authenticity of the scorecard has not been verified, and it remains unclear whether it is genuine or not. So take it with a pinch of salt — but enjoy the very human moment it represents.

Vijay is next expected to star in the action drama Jana Nayagan, directed by H. Vinoth. The film also stars Pooja Hegde, Bobby Deol, Mamitha Baiju, Gautham Vasudev Menon, and Prakash Raj, with music by Anirudh Ravichander. It was initially slated for a January 9, 2026 release but has remained stuck in limbo due to the unavailability of a censor certificate.
