A vintage snapshot of superstar Rajinikanth alongside a young boy has resurfaced on social media—can you recognise him? That boy grew up to become Jeeva, a Tamil and Telugu leading man who shot to stardom with his breakout performance.
Born to prominent producer R. B. Choudhary of Super Good Films, Jeeva made early appearances in his father’s productions before officially debuting in Aase Aase (2003). He cemented his hero status with hits like Ram, Ko, and Neethane En Ponvasantham and won Telugu audiences with the musical blockbuster Rangam.
Jeeva even portrayed the former Andhra Pradesh CM in the biopic Yatra 2, showcasing his versatility. Now, after over 40 films across languages, he’s poised for his next big break, just as he once stood beside the legend himself.
