Silambarasan filmography

Silambarasan in 2011.

Silambarasan is an Indian actor director, producer and singer, who works mainly in the Tamil film industry. He began his career playing minor roles as a child artist in films produced by his father T. Rajendar before his first lead role in Kadhal Azhivathillai (2002) also produced and directed by his father. [1][2] His second film Dum (2003), a remake of the 2002 Kannada film Appu, fared well commercially.[2][3] In the same year he appeared in Alai, a box office failure.[4]

Silambarasan had three releases in 2004. The first was Kovil, which deals with the relationship between a Hindu boy and a Christian girl.[5] Silambarasan was praised by Malathi Rangarajan of The Hindu for acting with "restraint and maturity".[6] It was a box office failure.[7] Silambarasan appeared next in Kuththu, a remake of the Telugu film Dil.[7] The film received unfavourable reviews but had a successful theatrical run.[8] His final release in 2004 was Manmadhan, which he also wrote. The film was a major success,[3] and propelled Silambarasan to stardom.[9] The following year, he had only one release: Thotti Jaya, in which he plays an orphaned gangster who finds love.[10] In 2006, Silambarasan had two releases: Saravana (directed by K. S. Ravikumar) and Vallavan which he helped write and directed himself.[11][12] The film was a box office success.[13] He starred in two films in 2008: the action-masala films Kaalai and Silambattam. Neither received positive reviews, but the latter was profitable.[14][15]

Silambarasan's sole release in 2010 as a lead actor was the romance Vinnaithaandi Varuvaayaa, directed and written by Gautham Menon. The film attained cult status in Tamil cinema, and was a major breakthrough in his career.[16] It was considered an image makeover for Silambarasan as most of his earlier films were in the action genre.[17] The following year, he appeared in two films. The first was the ensemble drama Vaanam, where he stars as an impoverished cable operator.[18] The second was Osthe, a remake of the Hindi film Dabangg where he played a police officer.[19] Podaa Podi, which began production in 2008 and was released in 2012, was a commercial failure.[13][20] His next appearance as a lead actor was in Vaalu (2015), followed by two releases in 2016: Pandiraj's Idhu Namma Aalu and Menon's Achcham Yenbadhu Madamaiyada.[21][22]
