Biography
G Madhu is an Indian actor who predominantly works in Kannada cinema in addition to a few Telugu and Tamil films.
Early life and career
After taking acting lessons at Abhinaya Tharanga, Guruswamy spent a few years in theater. He was very fond of theater work and did several stage shows, while starting his career as a theater actor.
Guruswamy's first movie was Deadly-2 (2010), in which he also worked as an assistant director. His role in Bhajarangi (2013) brought him into the limelight, and his movies thereafter made his position stronger in the film industry, moreso after the blockbuster film Mufti (2017).
Guruswamy made his Telugu debut with Saakshyam (2018) and his Tamil debut with Pathu Thala (2023). The latter was a remake of Mufti, and Guruswamy reprised his role. His next Telugu film was the Prabhas-starrer Salaar (2023), in which he played the antagonist. He then teamed up with Mufti director Narthan for Bhairathi Ranagal, the sequel of Mufti.
