Kathir

L. K. Vignesh professionally called Kathir L Kavin, or Kathir, is an upcoming Tamil actor born and brought up in Erode. His world was Erode until his schooling. He completed his basic education in Bharathi Vidhya Bhavan and pursued Civil Engineering in Kumaraguru College of Technology, Coimbatore.

He entered the Kollywood town recently in 2013 with a heart-throb role in the thriller film Madha Yaanai Kootam that had positive reviews from critics.

The movie received fame in all aspects. The film was also nominated for screening at a prestigious International Film Festival.

After playing in back-to-back hits, Kathir is set for his hat-trick of hits with a complete makeover now. Yes!! It is not a change in his role; it will be a change in the character itself.
