K Bhagyaraj Career

Film career

Bhagyaraj's debut as an assistant to directors G. Ramakrishnan and Bharathiraja began his career as an assistant. He first appeared in films as small supporting roles with screen-space of less than three minutes in films such as 16 Vayathinile (1977), and later appeared in Sigappu Rojak (1978). In two films – 16 Vayathnile and Kizhakke Pogum Rail – he was assistant director to Bharathiraja. Writing dialogues for Sigappu Rojakkal was among his early efforts, including scripts for Bharathiraja's films Kizhake Pogum Rail (1978) and Tik Tik Tik Tik Tik Tik Tik Tik Tik (1981). He made his directorial debut with Suvarilladha Chiththorangal in 1979, as well as his debut as the leading man in Puthiya Valiantya's Puthiya Valiant, directed by Bharathiraja. In Puthiya Vaarpugal (1979), he received the Tamil Nadu State Film Award for Best Dialogue Writer. He wrote dialogue and filmplay, and he appeared in Kanni Paruthile (1979).

He quickly realised his own pique and began a series of distinctive films mainly in Tamil. Bhagyaraj has often appeared in lead roles in the films he scripted and directed, effectively creating a niche for himself in the actor-auteur vein. His filmmaking style is well-known for its comparatively sophisticated, witty, and double entendre-laced script as a socially themed framework. His on-screen personae are usually characterized by their humourless demeanor and bravado.

Urvashi, a female actor in Tamil film Mundhanai Mudichu (1983) and Kalpana (sister of Urvashi) made her debut with the 1985 film Chinna Veedu, which was directed by Bhagyaraj, a commercially lucrative film. In Mundhanai Mudichu, he received the Filmfare Award for Best Actor – Tamil. He became well-known in Hindi as Masterji, a script for Mundhanai Mudichu remade in Hindi with Rajesh Khanna in the lead role, which was a huge success at the box office.

He rarely appeared in films that he had not written or written, with notable exceptions being Anbulla Rajinikanth (1984) and Naan Sigappu Manithan (1985). In 1985, he directed the Hindi remake of Bharatiraja's 1984 directorial venture Oru Kaidhoyin Diary with Rajesh Khanna in the lead, but later Khanna had to cancel and Bhagyaraj actor Amitabh Bachchan appeared in the Hindi remake Aakhree Raasta (1986). Bhagayraj decided to convert the classic old Kannada film Mallammana Pavada, starring Rajkumar and B Saroja Devi, into a new Tamil film Enga Chinna Rasa in 1987, which became a huge blockbuster. He wrote the script for Idhu Namma Aalu in 1988 and decided to produce it, but decided not to direct it by himself, citing Aararo Arairaro as the subject. He was nominated for Idhu Namma Aalu in 1990, produced by Balakumar, but Aararo Aaariro's other film, Aararo Ayu, was both critically acclaimed and profitable at box office, and his fellow film Idhu Namma Aalu was also highly praised and lucrative at the box office.

He began accepting more acting opportunities as a lead hero, where the director-producer-scriptwriter will be three separate people rather than him writing-directing-acting in his films. Rudhra, Amma Vanthachu, Gnanapazham, and Suyamvaram were all highly successful films in which he was only acting as an actor. He founded "Bhagya" in the weeklong magazine and is also the editor of the magazine. Pavunnu Pavunuthan, Sundara Kandam, Raasukutti, and Veetla Visheshanga were among his successful directorial ventures written by him from 1991 to 2016. Shanthanu Bhagyaraj played the child actor in Vain Tamtu in 1998, and the film dealt with the father-son relationship, putting an end to a string of continuing flops including Oru Oorla, Gnanapazham, and Mr. Bechara (1996).

His best Tamil films, written by him, were still in demand for Hindi remakes in the 1990s, and were big hits in Hindi – with Raasukutti remade as Raja Babu (1994) and Avasara Police 100 remade into Gopi Kishan, which were also hit in Hindi – with Andaz (1994) and Avasara Police 100 remade into Gopi Kishan, which were also huge hits in Hindi. He wrote the script for the Tamil film Thaikulame (1995), starring Pandiarajan, whose actor-director was not present in Hindi, and whose actor-director was not in India, and was renamed Gharwali Baharwali.

After the introduction of Valiant's huge cultural and commercial failure Valiant, he took a break from acting as the lead hero in Tamil films. Rather, he supervised Neenga Nenaicha and Idhu Oru Kadhai (for DD Podhigai), and appeared on Apapadi Podu on Jaya television in this period. Rangachari's tele-serial Rules Rangachari was very popular on the DD channel, and it had a whopping 390 episodes. He wrote and directed Chokka Thangam, starring Vijayakanth. Parijatham, which he wrote and directed in 2006, gave his daughter Saranya Bhagyaraj. He's back, with Something Somewhere...Unakkum Rendu as the lead actor and Rendu in a supporting role, and with Kasu Irukkanum as the lead actress in 2007. In the romantic film Siddhu +2, he directed his adult son Shanthanu Bhagyaraj in 2010.

He appeared in Appavi (2011) and Vain Sooda Vain (2011) supporting roles throughout the 2010s. With Mr. Marumakan (2012), he ventured into Malayalam cinema as a supporting actor.

He was the lead judge for the show Junior Super Star (2016) and Junior Super Stars (season 2) (2017).

In Kelvi Bhadhil's Vain Cinemavai Pattri Pesalam, Neenga Nenaam, and Ungal Bhagyaraj, he wrote books titled Vain, Vain Karma (Five Parts).

With Kanithan (2016) and Thupparivaalan (2017), he appeared in action thriller films that went on to become commercial success.
