Career[edit | edit source]
Navarasan is mainly known for his works in horror and thriller movies. He was trained for action and direction at Koothupattarai Institute in Chennai.[citation needed]
In the year 2014, Navarasan made his debut as an actor in a Tamil movie Nee En Uyire directed by Vikas Lathiraj.[1]
His work in the Kannada film industry began as both producer and actor in a horror movie Raakshasi (remake of Pisaasu), which was released in the year 2015. Navasaran played a lead role in this film along with Sindhu Lokanath.[2][3]
While he gained experience in various departments of the film industry he decided to test his direction skills with the film Vaira.[4][5] The good feedback he received for Vaira gave him the confidence to come up with the big budget film Damayanthi.[6] The movie was released in many languages including: Kannada, Malayalam, Tamil and Hindi as Damayanthi and Samharini in Telugu.[7] Kannada actress Radhika Kumaraswamy acted as a lead in this film.[8] Damayanthi gave Navarasan his big break in the Indian film industry as a director.
