The actors of recent times, who have mesmerized us the most so far…
There are those actors who have always impressed us. FRIDAYMOVIEZ gives its K-Town verdict on the top 5 actors of this year, so far -
The first in the list is all-time favorite and upcoming movie special role player, Ajith Kumar. The Richard Gere of Kollywood began his career as a supporting actor in a Telugu film before gaining critical recognition in the Tamil thriller ‘Aasai’. A succession of high-grossing films followed where Ajith was usually depicted as a romantic hero, with ‘Kadhal Kottai’ and ‘Kadhal Mannan’ being the most notable. He later forayed into method acting, as seen in ‘Vaali’, ‘Mugavaree’, ‘Kandukondain Kandukondain’ and ‘Citizen’ before establishing himself as an action hero with popular films including ‘Amarkalam’, ‘Dheena’, ‘Villain’, ‘Varalaru’, ‘Billa’ and ‘Mankatha’.
Joseph Vijay Chandrasekhar, better known mononymously as Vijay, is the son of film producer and director S. A. Chandrasekhar. After performing un-credited roles as a child actor in films produced by his father, he made his debut in a lead role in the 1992 film ‘Naalaya Theerpu’. Since then, he acted in several films of action and romance genres. He has also worked as a playback singer in several of his films, as well as a few films starring other actors. During his career in the Tamil film industry, he has won two Tamil Nadu State Film Awards and one Filmfare Award.
