This was also the second film where Arun Vijay and Magizh Thirumeni joined hands after Thadaiyara Thaakka. The film was loosely based on various real-life crimes where the suspects are identical twins. Thadam's biggest strength was Arun Vijay's convincing performance as Kavin and Ezhil. Though the brothers looked similar, Arun showed a distinct body language and a unique dialogue delivery for the two characters. Then the action thriller film, Saaho. Prabhas was the hero while Arun Vijay play in a pivotal role.

2015

In order to enhance the character of Victor, Arun said that he had worked at the gym for more than 6 hours a day. He was also on a high protein diet. Arun's efforts proved to be fruitful as he was well appreciated by Ajith Kumar and Gautham Menon for his dedication and hard work. Arun's performance had an overwhelming response from the audience. The same year, he debuted in Telugu through the film Bruce Lee - The Fighter (2015) as the lead antagonist. He also made his Kannada debut as the lead antagonist through the movie Chakravyuha in 2016. Kuttram 23 (2017), was a success at the box office.
