साउथ की इंडस्ट्री में ब्रह्मानंदम एकमात्र ऐसे कलाकार है जिन्हें नॉर्थ इंडिया की ऑडियंस भी उतना ही पसंद करती है जितना साउथ इंडिया की।

[{"selector":"#anim-5eea4e75-abcd-4a92-9f73-2ab4a738e968","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":3000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-9197e0d8-7fb2-4d55-920a-a5136abdd56a","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 170.89374%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":3000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-93909fa7-63a1-4c2d-a43c-9eff5b36db60","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":3000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-04103b94-6bce-49e1-b8dc-1123cdc4c857","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 130.64238%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":3000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

कम ही लोगों को पता है कि ब्रह्मानंदम पहले स्कूल टीचर थे लेकिन ऐक्टिंग में रुचि के चलते उन्होंने अपनी टीचर की नौकरी छोड़ दी।

साल 1985 में ब्रह्मानंदम ने फिल्मों में काम करना शुरू कर दिया। उसके बाद आज वह साउथ के सबसे ज्यादा पॉप्युलर कलाकारों में से एक हैं।

[{"selector":"#anim-56cd2fee-1e31-4c70-bfc1-c4d25e80ab74","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":3000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-b34ac716-aaa7-4261-92c0-d27e98154c3f","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 137.18287%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":3000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-854c13fb-42a3-4381-8019-880a29b29ccb","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":3000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-12f2821a-feeb-4e88-bed8-6d3e50e8e8a8","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 133.24377%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":3000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

ब्रह्मानंदम की सफलता और पॉप्युलैरिटी का अंदाजा इस बात से लगाया जा सकता है कि उन्होंने अभी तक 1000 हजार से भी ज्यादा फिल्मों में काम किया है।
