Personal life[edit]

He did his schooling at DAV Senior Secondary School, Anna Nagar,[2] and studied at The New College, Chennai. He married Jeshly in 2013 who is a dubai based Malayali dentist.[3]
Career[edit]
Bharath made his acting debut in the 2003 Tamil film Boys directed by S. Shankar, in which he played the guitarist of a boy band. He was selected for the role, after Shankar had seen him performing at a dance programme "Inspirations" at the Music Academy by Swingers.[4] In 2004, he first appeared in the Malayalam film, the Jayaraj-directed vigilantefilm 4 The People, portraying one of the four protagonists. The film went on to become a blockbuster,[vague][5] grossing ₹ 10 crores at the Kerala box office and turning out the highest-grossing Malayalam film of that year.[6][7] The film was subsequently dubbed into Tamil as 4 Students,[8] and Telugu as Yuvasena,[9] with its Tamil version emerging a box office success[vague] as well.[5][10] Later that year, he played the antagonist role in the Tamil film Chellamae. His portrayal of Vishwa, a possessive teenager who kidnaps his childhood friend he is obsessed with and married to someone else, was appreciated[vague] by critics.[10] It also was an boxoffice success.[11] He played his first starring role inBalaji Sakthivel's Tamil romantic-drama film Kaadhal that featured him as a poor mechanic who falls in love and elopes with a wealthy 12th standard student.[11][12] The film, produced by Shankar, received critical acclaim[vague] and was also commercially successful.[5][11] Pattiyal, a gangster thriller, was his first release in 2006. The Vishnuvardhan-directorial opened to very positive critical response[vague] and went to become a high financial success,[13] with Bharath garnering accolades for his performance as a deaf and dumb hitman[14] Later that year, he starred in Azhagai Irukkirai Bayamai Irukkirathu, Em Magan, Chennai Kadhal and Veyil. While Chennai Kadhal, a romance film byVikraman,[15] bombed at the box office, Thirumurugan's family drama film Em Magan was declared a hit film.[16] He has received great accolades for Veyyil, which also emerged a commercial success and was selected for screening at the 2007 Cannes Film Festival.[17]
Following Veyyil, Bharath experienced a setback in his career as his subsequent releases—with the exception of Pazhani—proved to be commercially successful.[18][19] He was facing an "image crisis" as he signed up for action and masala films and went on play repetitive roles as a "larger than life angry young man", playing "small town rowdy" or "guy seeking revenge" roles.[18] Koodal Nagar, was released in 2007 in which he portrayed a dual role. In 2008 he appeared in Perarasu's Pazhani alongside Kajal Aggarwal andKushboo, following which Nepali, directed by Dhurai was released.[20] That year he had two more releases, Muniyandi Vilangial Moonramandu, which saw him collaborating with the Em Magan team again, and Hari's Seval.[18][19] In 2009 he acted in Arumugam, directed by Suresh Krishna and Kandein Kadhalai. The latter featured him in a totally contrasting role as a rich businessman, and became his only commercial success in two years.[21][22] In 2010, he had a single release with Thambikku Indha Ooru which became a critical and commercial failure.
In 2011, he appeared in the multi-starrer Vaanam as Bharath Chakravarthy, a guitarist. Post-release, Bharath clashed with the producer and another actor in the film,Silambarasan, claiming he did not receive as much promotion and publicity as Silambarasan's character.[23] His next film, the romantic comedy Yuvan Yuvathi was followed by the action-masala film Thiruthani.[24] He was also appeared in a guest appearance in Vasanthabalan's Aravaan.
In 2013, his romantic thriller film Ainthu Ainthu Ainthu (555) released in August. The film, which was directed by Sasi, opened to positive reviews with a critic noting he "has put a lot of effort and hardwork to the role" and "is one single reason to watch the film".[25] He made his Bollywood debut with Jackpot.[26] The film was about four people who try to con one another for money and Bharath played one of them, a Goan named Anthony D’Souza from Puducherry.[27] He returned to Malayalam cinema in 2014 with Koothara. Bharath subsequently appeared as autistic youngster in a Malayalam project titled 1000 : Oru Note Paranja Katha, which garnered poor reviews on release, with a critic noting that "there are plenty of moments of real terrible acting around, and it's a pity to see an actor like Bharath strut around awkwardly, trying to pass off as a youngster with a disability, but with very little success".[28]
