Actor · Film Maker · Writer
An engineer by degree, a storyteller by soul. From the world of transport modelling to the world of cinema — crafting narratives that move, provoke, and stay with you long after the credits roll.
Guru Jothilingam is a Chennai-based actor, filmmaker, and writer who traded the structured world of engineering for the unpredictable magic of cinema. What began as a passion quickly turned into a calling — one that has taken him from short film sets to the grand canvas of Tamil feature films.
With over 10 short films as an actor, 2 as a director-writer, and notable roles in Tamil feature films like Jana Nayagan and Sardar 2, Guru brings an analytical mind and raw emotional instinct to every role and every story he tells. His directorial debut Magaladhigaram earned international acclaim across multiple film festivals.
