Charuhasan is undoubtedly one of the pioneers in Tamil cinema. Being 23 years older than his youngest brother Kamal Haasan, it was Charuhasan who was the Vikram actor’s caretaker during his early days as a child actor. He is a retired lawyer and a National Award-winning actor who has featured in more than 120 films over 45 years.

However, he has revealed in interviews that he was a cinephile, and enjoyed watching films. Eventually, in 1979, he made his debut in the Tamil film Uthiripookkal, helmed by Mahendran. Since then, the veteran actor has appeared in more than 120 films, across various languages including Malayalam, Kannada, Telugu, and Hindi apart from Tamil.

The actor has also been conferred with the National Award for Best Actor as well as the Karnataka State Award for Best Actor in the year 1986. Additionally, Charuhasan has also directed two films.

Meanwhile, on the work front, the 93-year-old actor has rarely taken a break from acting since his debut in 1979. In fact, his latest release came out in June this year, named Haraa. The film, which was an action thriller flick, was helmed by Vijay Sri G.
