Biography

His forte was family oriented subjects. Having come with a theatre background, he knew the nuances of presentation and kept up his conviction that a good screenplay is essential for the success of a film. He started making films at a time when the audience had to be told everything frame by frame. He is none other the legend Krishnaswamy Bhagyaraj alias K. Bhagyaraj, a legend and a much-feted scriptwriter, was born on January 7th 1953 in Coimbatore. Starting out as an actor, he switched to direction, where screenplay was his forte. His wife Poornima (then Poornima Jayaram) was a very well known and extremely talented Malayalam actress.

His daughter Saranya Bhagyaraj debuted in his film Parijatham. His son Shanthnoo Bhagyaraj made his debut in the celluloid screen in a movie titled Sakkaralatti which released during 2008. He started writing plays in school. He even used to suggest corrections to plays written by his seniors. This provided the base for writing screenplay. He was working as an assistant director to his mentor Bharathiraja in 16 Vayathinile shot at Kollegal in Karnataka. The occasion threw up the need for someone to play the role of a doctor. After trying out various aspirants, the director finally decided that Bhagyaraj should don the greasepaint. His first love was, however, filmmaking. Even for the film Suvarila Chitirangal, he was not interested in playing the lead role. It so happened that the contracted actor backed out at the eleventh hour. The transition from an assistant to a full-fledged director was a big step to take and he debuted with Suvarila Chitirangal.

The roles gave him a lot of confidence. Bharathiraaja was convinced that he could act well. So, he cast him in the lead role in Pudhiya Vaarpugal. From then there was no turning back. Andha ezhu natkal, Mouna geethangal, Kannipparuvathile, Mundhanai Mudichu, Thavanikkanavugal, Darling, Darling, Darling, Pounu Pounuthan, Sundarakandam, Gnanapazham – the list is not exhaustive. His career spanned nearly two decades and during this period he enjoyed mass popularity not only as a good actor but also as a talented director.

All his films were jubilee hits. He has directed more than 30 films in Tamil, Telugu and Hindi, and acted in several others. He is an actor and director par excellence. His dialogues laced with naughty humor are still remembered by many in Tamil Nadu. He is the man who managed to weave magic on the big screen with his astute screenplay, strong storylines and punchy dialogue.

In most of his movies there is no main villain. There is a problem of villainy in the life of the protagonist and People liked him for it. He made a mark with a series of films in the 1980s. In recent times, the failure of his films likes Gnana Pazham, Vaettiya Madichi Kattu and Sokka Thangam forced him to retire. He made a tentative entry into television and the success buoyed him to make a comeback in films. His comeback film in 2006, Parijatham with his daughter in the main lead, was an effort well-received in the cinemas. Many of his films were also remade in Hindi in the 80s. He has a successful stint as a magazine editor in his own Magazine Bhagya.
