Early life

edit

Suryakanth's birth name was Pakkiri. He was born in Poondi, Thanjavur district, Tamil Nadu. While studying in the fifth grade, the song footage of a film starring "Kuladeivam" Rajagopal was taken in the Poondi Dam area, which aroused his interest in acting in films. After discontinuing his BA degree, Suryakanth was rechristened by Sandow M. M. A. Chinnappa Thevar to act in films.[2]

Initially, he struggled to get an offer in high-profile films, but director K. Bhagyaraj gave Suryakanth a big opportunity to act in Thooral Ninnu Pochchu (1982), where he portrayed a silent villain. His performance in the film was critically praised by the critics and audience. Thereafter, Bhagyaraj constantly gave opportunities for Suryakanth in various roles in his films, establishing him into Tamil cinema.[3]
