'''Thennavan''' is an Indian [[Tamil people|Tamil]] [[film actor]] who has appeared in supporting roles. After making his debut in [[Bharathiraja]]'s ''[[En Uyir Thozhan]]'' (1990), the actor was recognised for his work in ''[[Gemini (2002 Tamil film)|Gemini]]'' (2002) ''[[Virumaandi]]'' (2004) and ''[[Jay Jay]]'' (2003).

==Career==
After graduating from Sarvajana High School, Coimbatore in 1984, Thennavan moved to Chennai to pursue a career in films. Thennavan made his acting debut in [[Bharathiraja]]'s 1990 film ''[[En Uyir Thozhan]]'', portraying a secondary lead role.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.indiaglitz.com/back-to-movies-again-kannada-news-13397|title=- Kannada News|website=IndiaGlitz.com}}</ref> He won critical acclaim for his performance as Kai in [[Saran (director)|Saran]]'s ''[[Gemini (2002 Tamil film)|Gemini]]'' (2002), and has since been credited in films as Kai Thennavan. Playing a sidekick to [[Vikram (actor)|Vikram]]'s titular character, [[The Hindu]] gave him a positive review writing "he does a convincing job" and "his penetrating stare takes care of the expressions."<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.thehindu.com/todays-paper/tp-features/tp-fridayreview/gemini/article28570798.ece|title=Gemini|date=19 April 2002|via=www.thehindu.com}}</ref> The success of the film, saw [[Kamal Haasan]] pick him to play a role in ''[[Virumaandi]]'', for which he also received positive reviews.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.thehindu.com/todays-paper/tp-features/tp-fridayreview/virumaandi/article28575473.ece|title="Virumaandi"|date=23 January 2004|via=www.thehindu.com}}</ref>

Thennavan then played the lead role in an experimental film, ''[[Ayul Regai]]'' (2005), winning critical acclaim for his portrayal of a man on the verge of depression. A critic praised his contribution to the film, noting with "a wiry frame, unkempt hair and large eyes, he fits the role perfectly."<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.bbthots.com/reviews/2005/aregai.html |title=Aayul Regai |publisher=Bbthots.com |date= |accessdate=2020-04-08}}</ref> He has since been seen in supporting roles in films including ''[[Sundarapandian]]'' (2012) and ''[[Naan Than Bala]]'' (2014).
