Remember Child Artist Master Suresh, Who Acted With Rajinikanth? What He's Doing Now

Renowned South Indian actor Master Suresh, recognised for his contributions to Tamil, Malayalam, and Telugu cinema, has excelled in supporting roles throughout his career. While not assuming lead roles, Master Suresh has consistently garnered considerable success with his films.

Recently, his photos have gone viral on the internet. Master Suresh is one of the most childlike protagonists in Indian cinema. He worked as a child actor with famous actors like Rajini, Kamal, Vijayakanth, and Amitabh Bachchan in more than 200 films.

Master Suresh, known for portraying a young Rajinikanth in Padikkadavan, has had a remarkable journey. Originally named Surya Kiran, he started acting at a young age, honing scriptwriting under Kamal Haasan and Ravi Teja’s guidance.

The 1985 Indian Tamil-language action drama film Padikkadavan features Sivaji Ganesan, Rajinikanth, and Ambika, directed by Rajasekhar. Produced by Kannada actor Ravichandran and his father N. Veeraswamy, the movie is a remake of the Hindi film Khud-Daar.

In the late 1980s, he began working as a child actor in Bollywood. He starred alongside Amitabh Bachchan in the 1985 film Geraftaar. The film marked his debut in the industry. In the movie, he portrayed the character of Young Hussein.

Having started his acting journey in Hindi movies, he shifted to his native languages, particularly Tamil and Telugu. Facing challenges with Hindi as a child, he decided to transition to South Indian movies.

He then made his Telugu debut with the 1989 movie Nizam Thedu Sejapali. The actor achieved considerable success in the South.

Master Suresh, known as Telugu Director Surya Kiran, debuted in 2003 with Satyam, starring Sumanth and Genelia Dsouza. He later directed films like Dhana 51, Brahmastram, Raju Bhai, and Chapter 6. Suresh’s sister is TV actress Sujitha, known for her role in Pandyan Stores. He was previously married to Kaveri (Kalyani), known in Tamil and Malayalam cinema. The duo, however, parted ways due to differences.

In 2020, Master Suresh joined Bigg Boss Telugu Season 4, hosted by Akkineni Nagarjuna, but was the first to be evicted.
