[edit] Career
Ramarajan hails from a small town Melur situated near Madurai. He grew up from a Cinema entrance ticket validator and plantain seller to a cinema producer. Known for his movies with rustic simplicity, he had disappeared from filmdom following a string of failures. His films were so popular and made big at box-offices that they were equally competent to Superstar Rajinikanth's films. Considered as the man of the rural audiences, he was nicknamed Vasool Chakravathi. Many of his films based on village-based subjects were a big hit in B and C centers. He is known for his dark shirts and colorful costumes. His movie Karagattakkaaran was a block buster which ran for 365 days not only in Chennai but also in Madurai. He fell in love with actress Nalini and they got married. However, they divorced citing differences in their relationship.
He took a plunge in politics and managed to become an MP. He was elected to the Lok Sabha from the Tiruchendur constituency on the AIADMK ticket in 1998. His film and political career both failed for a certain period. His new low budget movie Medhai got released on 2012 which largely went unnoticed and failed.
