Madhu Guruswamy
Indian actor
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Early life and career
After taking acting lessons at Abhinaya Tharanga, Guruswamy spent a few years in theater.[1] He was very fond of theater work and did several stage shows, while starting his career as a theater actor.
Guruswamy's first movie was Deadly-2 (2010), in which he also worked as an assistant director.[citation needed] His role in Bhajarangi (2013)[5] brought him into the limelight, and his movies thereafter made his position stronger in the film industry, moreso after the blockbuster film Mufti (2017).[6]
Guruswamy made his Telugu debut with Saakshyam (2018) and his Tamil debut with Pathu Thala (2023). The latter was a remake of Mufti, and Guruswamy reprised his role. His next Telugu film was the Prabhas-starrer Salaar (2023), in which he played the antagonist.[7] He then teamed up with Mufti director Narthan for Bhairathi Ranagal, the sequel of Mufti.[8]
