Here is the list of actors who are much sought after when it comes to playing the various family roles in Kollywood films

Brother IN DEMAND: Subbu Arunachalam
After his role as Saravanan in Boss Engira Baskaran, Subbu has been sought-after for the role of an elder brother. Though he has portrayed other roles like a CBI officer inMankatha and Tahsildar in Thoonganagaram, many feel that he has been most convincing in the elder brother role.

Buddy IN DEMAND: Santhanam
Polladhavan, Azhagiya Tamizh Magan, Siva Manusula Sakthi, Vamanan, Boss Engira Baskaran, Vaanam, Neethaane En Ponvasantham, Thalaivaa, Raja Rani… and more to come! Currently, Santhanam is the best friend of all leading actors in Kollywood. The comedian’s roles as Nallathambi in Boss Engira Baskaran and Partha in Oru Kal Oru Kannadi have been raved about.

Daddy IN DEMAND: Sathyaraj
His dignified performance in latest releases like Raja Rani, Thalaivaa and Bollywood film Chennai Express are standing testimonies to his acting skills. Whether it is the character of a mentor, a friendly dad or a strict father, Sathyaraj is known to portray it in his inimitable style. Though he is known for a variety of character roles, he seems to be a much sought-after daddy in recent times.

Mom IN DEMAND: Saranya Ponvannan
Kollywood directors immediately go to Saranya if they want to cast someone in the role of a middle-class mother. Playing Ajith’s mom in Kireedam, Vemal’s mom in Kalavani, Udhayanidhi’s mom in OKOK, Jiiva’s mom in Raam and Bharath’s mom in Em Magan are just some of her popular performances. While she has essayed humorous and innocent mom roles too, her recent emotional performance as Vishnu’s mom in Neerparavai came in for much praise.

Sister/sister-in-law IN DEMAND: Devadarshini
Playing Prasanna’s sister in Kanda Naal Mudhal and Lawrence’s sister-in-law in Kaanchana, Devadarshini has always been the first choice for such roles. Though she played several supporting roles, she predominantly appears in sister/sister-in-law roles in Kollywood.
