He is now the Chinna Thalapathi in Kollywood, a young actor who has shown much promise for the future. His beginning was with Shankar in the landmark Boys. The film which dealt with the almost grown up’s attitude towards life, parents and society was instantly noticed for its theme, music and the unusually grand making for a film that boasted of no stars except the man who was calling the shots. A role in such a project was akin to getting lucky at the Klondike gold rush and Bharath was one of those who got immensely lucky. He has not looked back since Boys. And, whenever Bharath’s career seemed to be losing momentum, it has been S Pictures that has provided the flip, like in 2004 with Kadhal which cemented Bharath’s place as a solo lead player and in 2006 with Veyil which showed him as a potent performer.
