Rajinikanth's co-star, who never got a lead role, son cracked UPSC exam to become IAS officer, his name is..., his son is...
Rajinikanth is one of the lead actors in the South industry. The Thalaiva knows how to make fans go gaga over his performance. The actor is hailed so much that there is a temple in his name. However, not everyone in the industry is as lucky as Rajinikanth. Today, we will discuss an actor who worked with the Thalaiva. However, he never got the lead role. Though this actor of South had an upside-down career, it was his son who turned the tables.
While many may think that his son became a superstar in Indian cinema, he went completely opposite. He became an IAS. If you are wondering who this father-son duo is, then let us tell you we are talking about senior Tamil actor Chinni Jayanth and his son Shrutanjay Narayanan.
Chinni Jayanth has worked with Rajinikanth in films like Raja Chinna Roja, Adhisay Piravi, and Petta. However, he never got the lead role. On the other hand, Chinni's son, Shrutanjay Narayanan, did not follow in his father's footsteps. He focused on studies and cracked UPSC.
Cracking UPSC exam is not always easy, one needs to have everything right. From correct diet to proper sleep and thorough preparation, all these factors are important for a candidate to clear UPSC exam.
Shrutanjay used to study for four to five hours every day. After this, he used to work in a startup in the night shift. As a result, Chinni Jayanth's son Shrutanjay cleared the UPSC exam in his second attempt.
He worked as the sub-collector of Tiruppur district and is now working as the sub-collector of Villupuram district.

Himesh Reshammiya praises Paresh Rawal amid his legal dispute with Akshay Kumar's Hera Pheri 3 during Mumbai concert: ‘He was fantastic'
Singer-composer Himesh Reshammiya made an unexpected reference to veteran actor Paresh Rawal and the Hera Pheri franchise during his concert in Mumbai on Saturday night, drawing cheers from the crowd and sparking conversation online. While performing on stage, Himesh briefly paused to acknowledge Rawal's contribution to the first two films in the popular comedy series. Without directly addressing the actor's recent exit from Hera Pheri 3, Himesh said, 'Hera Pheri 1, he was fantastic. Hera Pheri 2, he was fantastic. He was also great in…' Before completing the sentence, he broke into the track Jumme Raat from Phir Hera Pheri, a song that featured Paresh Rawal alongside Suniel Shetty and Akshay Kumar . The emotional nod was interpreted by many as a subtle show of support for Rawal amid the current controversy surrounding his departure from the third installment of the franchise. The high-energy concert, held in Mumbai, was attended by several celebrities, including Farah Khan, Sajid Khan, Veer Pahariya, Saqib Saleem, and Zaheer Iqbal. The night featured a mix of Himesh's greatest hits, but it was his mention of Hera Pheri that stood out for fans and industry insiders alike. Paresh Rawal's legal dispute with Akshay Kumar Himesh's statement comes amid a legal dispute between Paresh Rawal and Akshay Kumar's production banner, Cape of Good Films. According to reports, the production house has filed a Rs 25 crore lawsuit against Rawal following his exit from Hera Pheri 3. The actor is said to have returned the Rs 11 lakh signing amount, along with 15% annual interest and an additional goodwill payment. Paresh Rawal QUITS Hera Pheri 3 Rawal later addressed the controversy on Twitter, writing, 'My lawyer, Ameet Naik, has sent an appropriate response regarding my rightful termination and exit. Once they read my response, all issues will be laid to rest.' At the Housefull 5 trailer launch, Akshay Kumar was asked about the legal tussle. Without revealing much, he commented, 'I've worked with him for 32 years. He's a great actor and a good friend. This is a serious matter and will be handled legally. I won't speak about it here.' Meanwhile, speculation continues over who will step into the role of Baburao Ganpatrao Apte in Hera Pheri 3.
