Bobby Simha

The transformation of Bobby Jayasimha of remote Kodaikanal to Bobby Simha of the Chennai film industry has not been without the inevitable twists and turns that normally affect those striving to enter films from humbler backgrounds.

While still in college he was duped by some people who offered him roles in TV serials only to find that it was a hoax. While this was a setback of sorts, it did help him complete his studies in college and also strengthened his resolve to join films. Even after moving to Chennai, however, he had to wait for his dreams to come true, working in the meantime on various odd jobs to meet both end meet. His search ended when he met a couple of short film makers, who detecting the potential in Simha, took him on board and ended up with two fine short films, “ Pizza Click to look into! >> Read More... ” and “ Kadhalil Sodhappuvadhu Yeppadi Click to look into! >> Read More... ”, both of them not only received high ratings from critics but also made the right moves at the box office. However, what really set him off on his subsequent tough guy image, whether as a gangster or a plain villain or even as a hard talking cop, was the film ” Soodhu Kavvum Click to look into! >> Read More... ” where he portrayed the role of a kidnapper. 

His landmark achievement in this genre was, however, in the 2014 film “ Jigarthanda Click to look into! >> Read More... ”. Critical responses apart, he also received national recognition through the “National Film Award” for the “Best Supporting Actor”. His performance also saw a sudden steep rise in his fan following, making him almost into a cult figure thereafter.

His subsequent film was the Malayalam movie “Beware of Dogs”, but in his next Tamil film “ Aadama Jaichomada Click to look into! >> Read More... ” he showed once again, shades of his tough guy image, but in this case it was through the role of a  nonsense cop, who exhibits traces of comic variations too. The popularity and acclaim that he has received in his three years of acting career spanning from 2012 to 2015 with sixteen Tamil films, three Malayalam films and one Telugu film, clearly makes him one of the busiest actors currently. The awards and nominations that he has received in this short time also mark him out as a one who should have greater laurels coming his way.
