Career

Rajkiran began his film career by producing two Ramarajan starrer films and in one of them he appeared in a brief role. In 1991, he produced and acted in the lead role in Kasthuri Raja's debut film, En Rasavin Manasile which had a silver jubilee run. He won the Tamil Nadu State Film Award Special Prize and the Cinema Express – Best New Face Award for his performance.[2] He directed, produced and acted in lead role in Script error: No such module "Lang". (1993) and Ellame En Rasathan (1995), which also had silver jubilee runs. In 1996, he acted in Manikkam which was an average grosser at the box-office. The following year, he worked in Pasamulla Pandiyare. The film turned out to be a box office failure. In mid-1998, he appeared in Ponnu Velayira Bhoomi and made a guest appearance in Kasthuri Raja's Veera Thalattu. At the end of 1998, he acted in the critically well received Thalaimurai.

Following a three-year hiatus, he returned as an actor in Bala's Nandhaa and in Cheran's Pandavar Bhoomi. Both were critically and commercially successful. He won the Tamil Nadu State Film Award for Best Supporting Actor for his performance in Sandakozhi (2005) and Filmfare Award for Best Supporting Actor – Tamil for Thavamai Thavamirundhu (2005). He acted in Muni (2007) as the titular ghost Muniyaandi.

He later appeared in the movies Kaavalan (2011), Ponnar Shankar (2011), Venghai (2011) and Thiruthani (2012). He has also featured in many TV commercials. He refused to do a dhoti advertisement which created headlines in 2015. He acted in lead role in the movie Pa Paandi in 2017 directed by Dhanush. He debuted in Malayalam with the film Shylock (2020) with Mammootty in a character named Ayyannar.[3]
