Excitement grips Tamil Nadu as the state government reveals film awards for 2016-2022 and TV accolades from 2014-2022. A standout recipient is the evergreen Radhika Sarathkumar, famed for her captivating Chand in 1986’s ‘Naam Oonch Na Dabang’ with Rishi Kapoor—a role that outshone even lead Farah Naaz with its pure charm.
The actress gleefully posted about her 2014 Best Actress television award on social media. With a career spanning over 50 South Indian films, Radhika defies age at 64, starring solo in projects that showcase her range.
All eyes are on ‘Thai Kizhavi,’ the Tamil comedy-drama releasing February 20. Her unconventional comedic persona in the teaser marks a departure, promising box-office gold without relying on A-list heroes.
The roster boasts stars like Keerthy Suresh (2016, ‘Pambu Sattai’), Nayanthara (2017, ‘Aramm’), Jyothika (2018, ‘Chekka Chivantha Vaanam’), Manju Warrier (2019, ‘Asuran’), and Aparna Balamurali (‘Soorarai Pottru’). Leading men Vijay Sethupathi, Karthi, and Dhanush add heft to the actor awards.
Radhika’s journey from Bollywood innocence to South cinema royalty exemplifies resilience, ensuring her reign continues unabated.
