Personal life

Harish Uthaman was born in Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu, India to a Malayali family. [1] [2] He married Mumbai-based celebrity makeup artist Amrita Kalyanpur. [3] Their wedding took place on 6 September 2018 at Guruvayur Temple, Kerala in an intimate traditional ceremony in the presence of friends and family. They got divorced in 2019. In 2022, he married Malayalam actress Chinnu Kuruvila. [4]

Career

Harish's first job was as a part of the cabin crew, working with Paramount Airways for three years and later with British Airways for three further years. He also briefly worked in a commercials company in Chennai before Suriya Prabhakaran, offered him the lead role in a film. [5] Harish thus made his acting début with the low budget 2010 romantic Tamil film Tha , which opened to above average reviews. To prepare for his first role he grew his beard for five months, and did work to darken his skin by applying oil and sitting in the sunshine as per the role's demands. The film had a limited release and went unnoticed at the box office, and his performance was described as "apt" by critics. [6] [7] The film was later screened at the Tamil Film Festival in Norway, where Harish met Radha Mohan for the first time. Harish won the Best Newcomer Award at the festival. Subsequently, Radha Mohan cast Harish in a negative role in his bilingual film Gouravam (2013). [8]

He was recommended to the director Suseenthiran for a role in Pandiya Naadu (2013) by Suriya Prabhakaran, his first director, and went on to gain critical acclaim for his performance in a villainous role. Today he does a lot of character and cop roles with all leading stars of south Indian industry. In the movie Nenjil Thunivirundhal (2017) he transformed his looks to suit the character. His movie Naandhi (2021) got huge response and his negative role got compliments like "We really Hate You". [9] In 2022, he was seen in two films with Suseenthiran's Veerapandiyapuram and Kuttram Kuttrame . [10] [11] Harish Uthaman starred as lead role in thriller film, Noodles (2023). [12] He played a key role in Kazhcha, one of the episodes in the Malayalam anthology series Manorathangal (2024). He was cast in the fantasy adventure movie Ajayante Randam Moshanam (2024) opposite Tovino Thomas. [13]
