Harish Kalyan (born 29 June 1990) is an Indian film actor who has predominantly appeared in Tamil language films. He made his debut in the 2010 film Sindhu Samaveli opposite debutante Amala Paul, before being noticed for his performances in Poriyaalan (2014) and Vil Ambu (2016).[1]
Career
Films
Harish Kalyan made his debut in director Samy's controversial film Sindhu Samaveli (2010), portraying the role of Anbu, whose wife has an illicit relationship with her father-in-law. Critics described his next role in the Thaman-musical Aridhu Aridhu as "okay", but the film failed to take a strong opening at the box office.[2] Harish then went on to work in S. A. Chandrasekhar's Sattapadi Kutram, along with actors Sathyaraj, Vikranth and Muktha Bhanu. The film showcased the changes our legal system demands, with Harish playing a spoilt brat who eventually turns over a new leaf. The film opened to poor reviews and did poorly at the box office.[3]
He was next seen alongside Karunas, Shweta Basu Prasad and Sanjana Singh in the 2013 comedy film Chandamama.[4][5] After half a dozen films, he was finally noticed for his performance in the 2014 thriller Poriyaalan, which also fetched him one of the lead roles in the 2016 commercial thriller Vil Ambu produced by director Suseenthiran. In Vil Ambu, he plays a middle class boy who aspires to become a photographer, but whose strict dad makes him pursue higher studies in IT.[6]
Music
In 2016, Harish Kalyan released an independent song titled "I'm Single", working as a singer and lyricist, with music composed by L. V. Muthukumarasamy.[7][8]
