Sathyaraj

Biography

Sathyaraj, born October 3, 1954, is a Tamil cinema actor whose career began with a part in the film Kodugal Illaatha Kolangal. He built his reputation with Nooraavathu Naal and then played villains opposite leading protagonists, a phase that gradually established him as a screen antagonist Tamil audiences liked for his cultured, flamboyant style. That popularity helped him move into leading roles, beginning with his hero debut in Saavi; from Iravu Pookkal onward he was a regular protagonist. The article places him among Tamil cinema's leading heroes, alongside Rajini Kanth and Kamal Hassan. Before acting, he completed his schooling up to the tenth standard and earned a B.Sc. in botany from Government Arts College, though his first acting opportunity set him on his film career.
