Narayan Lucky

Narayan's elder brother was selected to portray Madhavan's friend in Mani Ratnam's romantic drama, Alaipayuthey (2000). Seeing his brother as an actor, prompted Narayan to pursue acting opportunities. After completing his MBA, Narayan joined as the marketing head of INOX multiplex for Chennai operations and his interactions with film people got him noticed and he was eventually shortlisted for the lead role in Prakash Raj's production Inidhu Inidhu (2010).
