SOUTH INDIAN ACTOR ARJUN 
BORN ON 15 AUGUST 1962




Arjun Sarja (born 15 August 1962 as Srinivasa Sarja) is an Indian film actor, producer and director known for his works predominantly in Tamil cinema.[1][2][3] He also starred in few KannadaMalayalam and Telugu films.[4][5][6][7][8][9] In 1993, he starred inS. Shankar's blockbuster Gentleman which opened to positive reviews, while Arjun went on to win the State Award for Best Actor.[10][11] During this time, he starred in hits such as Jai Hind (1994), Karnaa (1995), and the crime drama film Kurudhipunal(1995), for which Arjun won positive acclaim for his role while the film became India's official entry for the 68th Academy Awards Best Foreign Language Film category.[12][13]


In 1999, he starred in the political drama Mudhalvan (1999). Portraying an ambitious TV journalist who receives the opportunity to become the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu for a day, Arjun offered bulk dates for filming the project to Shankar.[14] The film subsequently won positive reviews with Arjun described as having "acquitted himself with aplomb in the challenging role".[15] Arjun received the Tamil Nadu State Film Award for Best Actor for his role as well as numerous other nominations. Arjun then briefly experimented in softer roles with Kannodu Kanbathellam (1999) and as an energetic civil service officer in Vaanavil (2000).

He was then featured in Vasanth's romantic drama film Rhythm, where he played a photographer, who eventually falls in love with a widow. Featuring a popular soundtrack and opening to positive reviews, Rhythm also became a commercial success.[16] He carried on with a lighter theme in his next directorial venture, the love story Vedham (2001), while he ventured into Telugu cinema again by appearing in Raja's Hanuman Junction and the Kannada devotional film Sri Manjunatha (2001). In 2012, he appeared in his 150th film, the Kannada film Prasad screened at the Berlin Film Festival.[17] Arjun won the Karnataka State Film Award for Best Actor for his work in the film.[18]
