About
Jai built a Tamil film career from supporting gigs to lead roles through indie darlings and mainstream hits. Born in India in 1985, the actor-musician is the nephew of composer Deva and cousin of music director Srikanth Deva. His breakthrough came via Venkat Prabhu's sports film Chennai 600028 (2007) and the cult success Subramaniapuram (2008); later, the romantic drama Raja Rani (2013) became his biggest commercial success. As an Aries, he channels intensity into range—from villagers to factory workers to customer service reps.

Biography
Jai—full name Jaikanth—entered Tamil cinema in a supporting role in Bagavathi (2002), building credibility before his audition for Venkat Prabhu's sports film Chennai 600028 landed him a leading role in 2007. Subramaniapuram (2008) followed, establishing him as a legitimate lead actor in Tamil cinema. He earned praise for deliberately unglamorous roles: a holidaying villager in Goa (2010), a nervous factory worker in Engaeyum Eppothum (2011), and a customer care executive in Raja Rani (2013), which became his most commercially successful film to date. His work as an actor spans dramatic and comedic registers; he also debuted as a singer in Jarugandi (2018). Born April 6, 1985, in India, Jai carries the Aries drive for risk—his choice of unglamorous, character-driven roles over star vehicles reflects that directness. The nephew of composer Deva and cousin of music director Srikanth Deva, he operates within a family of music-industry lineage. As an actor working in Tamil films, Jai performs in scripted dramatic and commercial narratives across genres.
