'''Vijaykumar''' (8 December 1944 – 24 August 1974) better known by his stage name '''Sasikumar''', was an Indian actor and army officer who worked mainly in [[Tamil cinema]].

== Early life ==
Sasikumar was born Vijaykumar on 8 December 1944 to Radhakrishnan and Savithri in [[Kumbakonam]], [[Tamil Nadu]]. Radhakrishnan, a follower of [[Periyar E. V. Ramasamy|E. V. Ramasamy]], worked at the [[National College, Tiruchirappalli]] as a [[Hindi]] professor. Vijaykumar studied chemistry at the same college, eventually graduating with a [[Bachelor of Science|B.Sc]] degree.<ref name="hindutamil" /><ref name="kalyanamalaimagazine1" /><ref name="kalyanamalaimagazine2" />

== Career ==
While in his third year at college, Vijaykumar joined the army and became the second lieutenant; he registered under the name "Vetriselvan", previously conferred upon him by E. V. Ramasamy. After completing his college education, he was promoted to lieutenant and went to [[Patiala]]. During the [[Sino-Indian War]] of 1962, he took over the leadership of the Button Bearing Division and won the President's Medal of Valour for driving out soldiers without using the bearings in the war. He later went to Madras (now [[Chennai]]) after being relieved of his military service, married Sasikala and founded a theatre troupe, acting in many of his plays. When filmmaker [[A. P. Nagarajan]] saw one of those plays and was impressed with Vijaykumar's performance, he cast him in ''[[Thirumalai Thenkumari]]'' (1970), making it Vijaykumar's film debut; Vijaykumar adopted the stage name Sasikumar, partly inspired by his wife. He went on to act in numerous successful films, including [[...Aval!|...''Aval!'']], ''[[Kasethan Kadavulada]]'' (both 1972), ''[[Arangetram (film)|Arangetram]]'', ''[[Bharatha Vilas]]'', ''[[Rajapart Rangadurai]]'', ''[[Suryagandhi]]'' (all in 1973), and ''[[Vellikizhamai Viratham]]'' (1974).<ref name="hindutamil" /><ref name="kalyanamalaimagazine1" /><ref name="kalyanamalaimagazine2" />

== Death ==
Sasikumar was leaving for a [[Indian National Congress|Congress]] public meeting when Sasikala was caught in a fire when she lit cooking gas in the kitchen. When Sasikumar tried to save his wife from the fire, a fire spread on her. Both were taken to Royapettah Hospital. However, both died on 24 August 1974. They had two children at the time, a six-year old daughter and a four-year old son, who were subsequently raised by their grandmother.<ref name="hindutamil" /><ref name="kalyanamalaimagazine2" />
