Vineeth Radhakrishnan (born 23 August 1969) is an Indian actor, Bharatanatyam dancer, voice artist and choreographer who primarily works in Malayalam, Tamil and Telugu language films.
[3] Vineeth is the nephew of Ramachandran Nair, the husband of actress Padmini of the Travancore sisters.
Kabooliwala (1994) and Manathe Vellitheru (1994) became two turning points in his Malayalam career, one establishing him as a young romantic hero, the other proving he could handle negative shades really well.
Though his films impressed both critics and front benchers, he did not become a super hero, a sought after actor.
[8] His roles in successful Tamil films also include Gentleman (1993), Pudhiya Mugam (1993), Jaathi Malli (1993) and May Maadham (1994).
Vineeth, who disappeared from both Tamil and Malayalam cinema, made a comeback with Rajinikanth starrer Chandramukhi (2005).
Ironically, Vineeth won the Kerala State Film Award for Best Dubbing Artist in 2020 for giving voice to Vivek Oberoi's character in Lucifer, actor Prithviraj’s first as a director.
[13] In Malayalam, he was seen in Kavya Prakash's debut film Vaanku (2021), based on a story by Unni R.[12] In Marakkar: Lion of the Arabian Sea (2021), he dubbed for the character played by Tamil star Arjun Sarja.
