Like Bharath, Srikanth, 26, also does not hail from a filmi family. It was as a model that he joined films, as the hero of Rojakoottam. The film became such a huge hit that he came to be known as Rojakottam Srikanth. Luckily for him, the prefix disappeared with his other films doing well at the box-office.

His last release, cinematographer-turned-director K V Anand's Kana Kandein, saw him deliver a powerful performance.

A film the industry eagerly awaits is Fazil's Oru Naal Oru Kanavu which stars Srikanth and Sonia Agarwal.
