==Early life==

==Career==

In 1989, he made his directorial debut through ''[[Pudhiya Paadhai]]'', starring himself as an inhuman ruffian who gets reformed by his rape victim.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.sify.com/movies/tamil/interview.php?id=11888329&cid=2408 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20040301024800/http://sify.com/movies/tamil/interview.php?id=11888329&cid=2408 |url-status=dead |archive-date=1 March 2004 |title=Welcome to |publisher=Sify.com |date=20 January 2007 |access-date=13 July 2012}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|author=Subha j rao |url=http://www.thehindu.com/arts/cinema/article2287672.ece |title=Arts / Cinema : Vithagan is back |publisher=The Hindu |date=23 July 2011 |access-date=13 July 2012 |location=Chennai, India}}</ref> The film was released to critical acclaim and emerged a box office success, while also winning several accolades, including the [[National Film Award for Best Feature Film in Tamil]], [[Tamil Nadu State Film Award for Best Film]] and [[Tamil Nadu State Film Award for Best Story Writer]]. In early 1990, he directed and acted in ''[[Pondatti Thevai]]'', which failed at the box office. In the end of 1990, he appeared in [[R. Sundarrajan (director)|R. Sundarrajan]]'s ''[[Thalattu Padava]]'' and in the devotional film ''[[Engal Swamy Ayyappan]]''. In 1991, he starred in [[S. P. Muthuraman]]'s ''[[Thaiyalkaran]]''. In 1992, he starred in ''[[Unnai Vaazhthi Paadugiren]]'', co-starring with [[Suman Ranganathan]] and [[Mohini (Tamil actress)|Mohini]]. He then directed and acted in ''[[Sugamana Sumaigal]]'', a clean family drama, which failed at the box office. In 1993, to recoup the financial losses, he directed and acted in the commercial film ''[[Ulle Veliye]]''. Ayyappa Prasad of ''The New Indian Express'' labelled the film as "flesh and bore". Despite negative reviews, the film has been declared a super hit at the box office. He then directed and acted in 1994 in ''[[Sarigamapadani]]'', co-starring with [[Roja (actress)|Roja]] and [[Sangita Madhavan Nair|Sangita]] and the next year in ''[[Pullakuttikaran]]'', co-starring with Sangita and [[Urvashi (actress)|Urvashi]]. In 1996, he acted in the comedy film ''[[Tata Birla]]''.

He won [[Tamil Nadu State Film Award for Best Actor]] for ''[[Bharathi Kannamma]]'' (1997). He played a man from a lower caste who a [[zamindar]]i falls in love with.<ref>{{cite news| url=http://www.thehindu.com/todays-paper/tp-features/tp-cinemaplus/on-a-journey/article4542915.ece | location=Chennai, India | work=The Hindu | first=K. | last=Jeshi | title=On a journey | date=24 March 2013}}</ref> Parthipan, the actor, director and producer, loves breaking the conventional rules set by commercial cinema. He has taken roles that other heroes would carefully avoid, directed films that his critics found to be arty. The actor has remained uncompromising and stuck to his principles in spite of some not-so-memorable roles in the past. After the critically acclaimed and award-winning films such as ''[[Housefull (1999 film)|Housefull]]'' (1999) and ''[[Azhagi (2002 film)|Azhagi]]'' (2002), audience and the trade have acknowledged the maker's undisputed talents.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.sify.com/movies/tamil/profile.php?id=13379315&cid=2409 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20040206211047/http://sify.com/movies/tamil/profile.php?id=13379315&cid=2409 |url-status=dead |archive-date=6 February 2004 |title=Welcome To |publisher=Sify.com |access-date=13 July 2012}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.jointscene.com/artists/Kollywood/Parthepan/164 |title=Archived copy |access-date=2011-08-31 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100608135729/http://www.jointscene.com/artists/Kollywood/Parthepan/164 |archive-date=8 June 2010 |df=dmy-all }}</ref> His 1999 Tamil film ''Housefull'' won the same award.<ref>{{cite news| url=http://www.hindu.com/fr/2003/08/01/stories/2003080101650200.htm | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130610103645/http://www.hindu.com/fr/2003/08/01/stories/2003080101650200.htm | url-status=dead | archive-date=10 June 2013 | location=Chennai, India | work=[[The Hindu]] | title=Reapers of a happy harvest | date=1 August 2003}}</ref>

In 2001, he launched an ambitious directorial project titled ''Yelelo'', with [[A. R. Rahman]] composing four songs for the film. Despite having a high-profile launch and completion of a few filming schedules, the venture was shelved.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://moviemagik.tripod.com/Bollywood/south/yelelo.htm|title=MoviemagiK previews YELELO|website=moviemagik.tripod.com}}</ref> Similarly, he launched three films simultaneously titled ''Kartha'', ''Rowdy'' and ''Adi'' after the failure of ''[[Kudaikul Mazhai]]'' (2004), though all projects were abandoned.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.sify.com/movies/parthipans-innovative-launch-news-tamil-kkfvCufigjhsi.html|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170908200719/http://www.sify.com/movies/parthipans-innovative-launch-news-tamil-kkfvCufigjhsi.html|url-status=dead|archive-date=2017-09-08|title=Parthipan starts 2 simultaneous projects for producer Pankaj Pictures}}</ref><ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20050404003128/http://cinesouth.com/specials/function/07032005-6.shtml</ref>

The film ''[[Aayirathil Oruvan (2010 film)|Aayirathil Oruvan]]'' (2010), in which he portrayed a [[Chola]] King, won him the [[Filmfare Award for Best Supporting Actor – Tamil]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.behindwoods.com/tamil-movie-news-1/jul-11-01/filfare-arya-04-07-11.html|title=The Big Winners At The Filmfare Awards - Filfare - Arya - Lekha - Tamil Movie News - Behindwoods.com|website=www.behindwoods.com}}</ref>
His previously released movie ''[[Kathai Thiraikathai Vasanam Iyakkam]]'' becomes Parthiban's first directorial film in which he does not feature in the lead role. The film, which has a tagline reading "a film without a story?", began production in late 2013 and released on 15 August 2014 and received positive reviews from all the sides and was a huge blockbuster hit in the box office. In 2015, he portrayed a cop in ''[[Massu Engira Masilamani]]'' and played a comedian villain in ''[[Naanum Rowdy Dhaan]]''. He acted in supporting role in the ''[[Maaveeran Kittu]]'' (2016) and ''[[Koditta Idangalai Nirappuga]]'' (2017). He appeared in Kannada movie ''[[Dada Is Back]]'' (2017), which he played in lead role as undisputed king of the underworld in Bengaluru.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/kannada/movie-reviews/dada-is-back/movie-review/59699569.cms|title=Dada Is Back Movie Review {3/5}: Critic Review of Dada Is Back by Times of India|via=timesofindia.indiatimes.com}}</ref> Followed by a comedy film, ''[[Podhuvaga Emmanasu Thangam]]'' (2017).

In 2019, he play in ''[[Oththa Seruppu Size 7]]'', with only one character on the screen. Off it too. Written, directed and acted in by R Parthiban, the film has managed to pique the interest of the audience right from its inception. The filmmaker revealed that it was his 18-year dream to make this film, yet the story is timely and relevant.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.indiatoday.in/movies/regional-cinema/story/oththa-seruppu-size-7-movie-review-parthiban-shines-in-a-brave-murder-mystery-1600809-2019-09-19|title=Oththa Seruppu Size 7 Movie Review: Parthiban shines in a brave murder mystery|first1=Janani K.|last1=ChennaiSeptember 19|first2=2019UPDATED|last2=September 19|first3=2019 13:50|last3=Ist|website=India Today}}</ref> Along with the outstanding performance and sharp visuals, the film is amplified by the amazing sound design which gives life to the uncanny, yet detailed confession of Masilamani.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.behindwoods.com/tamil-movies/oththa-seruppu-size-7/oththa-seruppu-size-7-review.html|title=Oththa Seruppu Size 7 (aka) Otha Seruppu review|date=19 September 2019|website=Behindwoods}}</ref>
