Vijay Awards

Ceremony

The ceremony is held every year at the Jawaharlal Nehru Indoor Stadium in Chennai and is telecasted on STAR Vijay only. However, it is not live televised. Except for the first edition, the ceremonies are being held in May or June, much before the announcement of the Filmfare Awards South.
