Tollywood actor Nithiin
, who won the hearts of millions and captured the top spot at the box office with his films, is celebrating his 36th birthday today. He is perhaps the only Tollywood actor among his contemporaries who gained a reputation for taking up
unique roles
. Nithiin was born on March 30, 1983, in Nizamabad, Telangana to a noted Tollywood producer Sudhakar Reddy. While many actors have seen their popularity rise and fall throughout the years, Nithiin has managed to keep his record consistent.
On the occasion of the actor’s birthday, here’s a look at some of his best films.
Jayam While Nithiin has found success in a number of varied movie roles, he will always be best known for playing Venkataramana in 'Jayam' (2002). He won rave reviews for his portrayal of a naive young yet brave village guy, in the Teja directorial film. For his part in the film, Nithiin won the
Filmfare Award South for Best Actor
, making him the promising young actor of the year in Tollywood. Sada had been roped in to play his love interest in the film that created history with its success, thus making the two an iconic romantic couple of Telugu cinema.
Dil Nithiin delivered a knockout punch in ‘Dil’ where he nailed his commercial role with panache. He plays a young college student who falls in with a local goon’s daughter. The movie was directed by VV Vinayak and featured Neha, Prakash Raj, Chalapati Rao, Sudha, MS Narayana, LB Sriram, and among others. Released in 2004, the film received a good response from the audience. His
dialogue delivery and mannerisms
as a commercial hero were on point in this youthful entertainer. The actor was brilliant, particularly in developing chemistry with his co-star Neha.
Sye 'Sye' is one of Nithiin’s most loved films of all time. The actor nailed the role of a typical college student in the film directed by SS Rajamouli. His chemistry with Genelia D’Souza apart from his stellar act was among the many highlights of the film. The faceoff between the college students and thugs in the climax looked impressive, thanks to Nithiin’s intensity and Rajamouli's direction. It was this film that propelled Nithiin to
superstardom
in the industry.
Ishq The Vikram K Kumar directorial 'Ishq' is undoubtedly one of Nithiin’s best works. The actor essayed the character of a jovial and friendly guy with finesse. Nithya Menen played the female lead and the two looked at ease on screen with each other and shared a crackling chemistry. Energetic, fun-loving and entertaining, this duo is one of the best on-screen pairings we have seen thus far.
Gunde Jaari Gallanthayyinde Nithiin and Nithya teamed up yet again for Vijay Kumar Konda’s romantic entertainer ‘Gunde Jaari Gallanthayyinde’. Though they were paired together only in two films, people couldn't stop talking about their on-screen romance. Nithiin played the role of a software techie who falls in love with a girl without seeing her directly. It’s definitely one of his most
unforgettable roles
, earning him a spot among the heartthrob of the industry.
A Aa 'A Aa' was one of the most memorable films of Nithiin’s career. The actor, unlike his intense and serious and heroic avatars, was seen in a light-hearted role of a village cooking contractor, Aanand Vihari. The character’s innate ability to bring happiness to Samantha's character Anasuya Ramalingam's life with his sense of humour made this film a hit at the box office. The Trivikram Srinivas directorial truly brought out Nithiin’s versatility.
