Actor-director Parthiban, who started his career as Bhagayaraj's associate, is celebrating his birthday Today.

After years of hard struggle, Parthiban made it big with his maiden directorial venture Puthiya Pathai featuring himself in the lead role.

Known for his innovative ideas and witty dialogues in his films, Parthiban carved a niche for himself acting in movies like Sugamana Sumaigal, Vetri Kodi Kattu, Pondattti Thevai, Abhimanyu, Azhagi, Puthumai Pithan, Swarnamukhi among others.

His House Full, which was produced and directed by him won the National award for Best Regional film for the year 1998.

Though his last two ventures Pachakkuthiraa and Kudaikul Mazhai had a decent run, Parthiban is optimistic of turning things around.

Let's wish the talented film personality a warm birthday greetings.
