He graduated from the college in the early seventies. After graduation, he did his law from the Government Law College, here. In a glittering career that has now completed five decades, the veteran superstar by now has starred in close to 500 films in all South Indian languages, Hindi and English and continues to be one of the most sought-after actors.
