*Actor Ganesh Venkatram on cloud nine as his Blockbuster ZEE Tamizh serial ‘Ninaithen Vandhai’ crosses 200-Episode Milestone!* Actor Ganesh Venkatram made a notable debut in the film “Abhiyum Naanum,” directed by Radha Mohan, where he captivated audiences with his charming portrayal. He later gained recognition for his roles as a formidable police officer in films such as “Unnai Pol Oruvan,” “Kandahar” and “Thani Oruvan.” When the Tamil version of the reality show Bigg Boss premiered, he participated in the inaugural season, quickly becoming a well-known figure in each household due to his exceptional approach. Expanding his career beyond Tamil cinema, he has also acted in Telugu, Malayalam, Kannada, and Hindi films. Currently, he is actively involved in both cinema and web series, as well as television serials, maintaining a vibrant presence in the entertainment industry.Ganesh Venkatram, particularly noted for his role in the film “Abhiyum Naanum,” has left many parents yearning for a son-in-law like him. Currently, he is portraying the character of Doctor Ezhil in the series “Ninaithen Vandhai,” which is being broadcast on Zee Tamil. His performance has garnered significant appreciation among women, inspiring the notion that such a husband is indeed desirable. This series, which commenced last January, has secured a prominent position among viewers, cultivating a dedicated fan base. It was inspired by the film “Azhagan,” directed by K. Balachander and featuring Mammootty. As the series approaches its 200th episode this coming Monday, Ganesh Venkatram has enthusiastically shared his experiences from the show and the warm reception it has received from fans.Shedding light on the TV series, Ganesh Venkatram says, “From the very beginning, there was a unique narrative thread present in this story. This is what immediately inspired me to take on a role in it. Recently, the character of Dr. Ezhil, whose wife tragically passed away in an accident, has become the sole guardian of their four children. The story revolves around the father’s struggle to raise his children without their mother, exploring his grief, resilience, and moral dilemmas as he transitions into a loving and nurturing father, immersing himself in the world of his children.” “Playing this character has indeed been a significant challenge for me. Moreover, it has also been a dream-fulfilling moment. I was introduced to the film industry through an emotional film titled “Abhiyum Naanum”, where my character was laced with emotions. I had always wanted to perform such roles that carry emotional essence, but I was always offered to be a part of action and thriller movies. Later, I felt blissful for getting an opportunity to be a part of ‘Varisu’ that had the core emotions of a family. Family stories always hold a certain value. It was in a heightened state of interest to portray characters like those in such narratives that the series “Ninaithen Vandhai” sought me out. As an actor, this was immensely satisfying for me.The character I portray, a devoted husband who continues to cherish the memory of his late wife, has resonated deeply with female fans. The reception has been so positive that many female viewers express a desire for a husband character like mine. Simultaneously, the narrative conveys a message that life is far from over, emphasising the possibility of second chances and the potential for love to blossom anew at any moment.In this context, the narrative revolves around a protagonist who enters a household tasked with caring for four children. As the story unfolds, circumstances lead to the protagonist contemplating marriage with Dr. Ezhil. The plot then explores the dynamics of their relationship following this development. In the current chapter, the heroine harbors deep feelings for the hero; however, the hero remains somewhat misled in his understanding of their connection. Consequently, the story progresses in a manner that spikes up curiosity about whether their love will soon unite.Currently, I am successfully balancing my work across various platforms, including cinema, television, and web series. I have taken on a significant and intriguing role in the film “Train”, which is a collaboration between Vijay Sethupathi and Mysskin. This film is set to be released soon. Additionally, I am involved in a web series titled “Gangs of Madras”, produced by Soundarya Rajinikanth for Amazon Prime. I am also receiving several promising opportunities in web series.” Actor Ganesh Venkataram concludes saying, “The reason for this is my previous films and the current series “Ninaithen Vandhai.” Producers of web series on OTT platforms tend to prioritize television shows. This is primarily because the audience for OTT platforms often consists of television fans, who are familiar with certain faces, especially if they have acted in films, which adds an extra appeal. When such individuals take on roles, it is believed that the web series will receive a warm reception. Consequently, by acting in both cinema and television, I have gained significant importance as an actor. My aspiration is to continue delighting fans through engaging stories presented in series format.”
