Arulnithi Tamilarasu is an Indian Tamil actor, who is best known for playing the lead role in Vamsam, directed by Pandiraj.
Arulnithi was offered the lead role in Pandiraj's Vamsam after his cousin, Udhayanidhi Stalin, had opted out. The film featured him as a young man shying away from the politics of his village, despite claims for him to avenge his father's death. The film, which featured him alongside Sunaina, was heavily promoted in Tamil Nadu as a result of the influence of his family, and became a profitable venture at the box-office, garnering positive reviews. Currently he is working on his second film Udhayan in which he is going to essay double role for first time.[1][2]. Though he made a very decent debut in national award winning director's Vamsam,his second film Udhayan received a near lukewarm response at the boxoffice.
Arulnithi's grandfather is M. Karunanidhi, former Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu. His father is M. K. Tamilarasu, brother of M. K. Stalin, former deputy Chief Minister and Home Minister of Tamil Nadu. His cousins include noted producers, Udhayanidhi Stalin and Dhayanidhi Alagiri.[3]
Arulnithi was educated at St. Michael's Academy in Chennai, before pursuing a degree at Loyola College. He then went on to Middlesex University and Pondicherry University to undertake more qualifications.[4]
