Kollywood is not just an industry, it is a saga, a 100 year old saga and this saga has its own heroes. Let's have a look at top the 5 Kollywood superstars of all time!


Rajinikanth – The superstar of superstars. What can be said about this legendary actor that has never been said before? Born on December 12 1950, Rajinikanth was born to a constable in Bangalore. Initially working as a bus conductor, Superstar Rajini gave a dramatic twist to his life and became what he is today - The highest paid actor in Asia. The man behind hit films like 'Bairavi','Billa', 'Chandramukhi' and 'Sivaji' is the architect of his own life. If looked at keenly, Rajinikanth’s life is nothing less than a story of a hit film. Movie buff or no, everyone’s life is incomplete till they do not see a Rajinikanth movie!


Kamal Hassan- If we were asked to associate Kamal with one of his famous film, the biggest confusion would be which one to pick, or which language to see? Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, Malayalam or Hindi? The actor who played a woman in 'Avvai Shanmugi' is indeed the man of Indian Film Industry. The subjects that he picks, the way he grips a character and the art that his films depict can be described only in one word - Poetic. Born in a small town of Tamil Nadu, Kamal Hassan began his journey as a child artist in 'Kalathur Kannamma'. A man with fiery passion giving his best on screen does not require giving the audience any other reason to watch his films.


Ajith Kumar - Our very own Thala. Does not need any introduction or compliments, for he is a baddie and we all like him that way. If there would be an award for a stylish villain, Ajith Kumar would surely win the race. Beginning as a supporting actor in a Telugu film, Thala received recognition only after the thriller 'Aasai'. He appeared initially as a romantic hero and then moved on to action films, not to mention the methodical acting he did in 'Vaalu' and 'Citizen'. Any movie that can widen our eyes with wonder is none other than Thala’s movie!


Vijay – a man who makes almost every girl's heart sing. Vijay’s films practically started a love revolution in the country. Be it 'Poove Unakkaga', 'Kushi' or 'Kaavalan', each of Vijay’s love story manages to covey a new message every single time. Nicknamed asIlayathalapathy(meaning young commander) the actor is now appearing in action films. Films like 'Thirumalai', 'Ghili' and 'Pokkiri'proved that whatever may be the genre, Vijay can connect to the audience in a manner no one can!

Suriya – A man of creativity and art. Born to actor Sivakumar and his wife Lakshmi, Suriya carries the legacy successfully. With superhits like 'Vaaranam Aayiram', 'Ghajini' and 'Singam', the actor has left a mark on the Tamil film industry. Suriya does not follow the modern concept of commercial movies, and goes for subjects that appeal to him. With his acting skills, style and of course his six pack abs, Suriya is one of the most desirable men in K-Town.
