Many actors in Tamil cinema started their road to stardom with the help of their fathers. For example, Vijay, a leading star in Tamil cinema today, was inspired by his father OF Chandrasekhar to take up acting from an early age.The father of another big star of Tamil cinema is Sivakumar, an experienced actor himself. His two sons, Suriya and Karthi, are stars in Tamil cinema today. As his son Suriya started his career outside the film industry, Sivakumar continued to encourage him.Another famous actor in Tamil cinema whose father was instrumental in helping him achieve success was Ravi Mohan or Jayam Ravi. His father, the editor Mohan, helped him establish himself as an actor in Tamil cinema through his production company.
