Hey fellow fans! Let me share some fascinating tidbits about one of my all-time favorites, Manoj Bharathiraja. This incredible actor was the cherished child of legendary director Bharathiraja and his beloved wife Chandraleela. Born on the 11th of September in 1976, in the heart of Tamil Nadu’s Kambam, he grew up with a younger sister named Janani by his side.

Originally, this actor started his journey in the film industry working as an assistant director while studying theater arts at the University of South Florida. Later, he entered the Tamil film industry, making his debut under the guidance of his father in the film “Taj Mahal,” where he acted alongside actress Riya Sen.
The film presented a heartfelt tale of two people who belonged to contrasting societies, entangled in their conflict’s whirlpool. Besides the main couple, the movie showcased a diverse cast led by Revathi, Radhika, Ranjitha, and others in pivotal positions.
The story for the movie was written by Mani Ratnam, with A.R. Rahman creating the songs and soundtrack. This movie was released during Diwali in 1999 and turned out to be a surprise success. Meanwhile, the music album received rave reviews, cementing itself as a timeless masterpiece from A.R. Rahman.
Afterward, Manoj Bharathiraja took up multiple acting roles in diverse films like Samuthiram with Sarath Kumar and Murali, as well as others such as Pallavan, Baby, Annakodi, and numerous others.
More recently, this actor has been featured in films such as Maanaadu alongside Silambarasan TR, under the direction of Venkat Prabhu. His latest cinematic project was the movie Viruman, which came out in 2022 and represented the acting debut of director Shankar’s daughter, Aditi Shankar.
