'''Mahesh''' (born 3 May 1990) is an Indian film actor who has appeared in Tamil language films. He made his debut in the 2010 film, ''[[Angadi Theru]]'', directed by [[Vasanthabalan]].

==Career==
Mahesh was spotted by [[Vasanthabalan]]'s assistants while playing for his school in a volleyball match in [[Tirunelveli]] and the director's team asked him to audition for a role in ''[[Angadi Theru]]''. Despite rejecting their advances initially, he eventually agreed to join the team after finishing his board examinations and after being encouraged by his sports mentor to pursue a career in films. The film subsequently released in March 2010 to positive reviews, with Mahesh's performance being well received by critics.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.rediff.com/movies/slide-show/slide-show-1-south-interview-with-mahesh/20100419.htm#5|title = A volleyball player who became a hit movie star}}</ref>

However, since ''Angadi Theru'', Mahesh has only been seen in low budget films with his immediate release ''Konjam Siripu Konjam Kobam'' (2011) taking a low key box office opening to poor reviews, while ''Yaasagan'' met with a similar fate.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.silentcritics.com/konjam-sirippu-konjam-kobam-movie-review/|title = Konjam Sirippu Konjam Kobam Movie Review|date = 11 November 2011}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/tamil/movie-reviews/moviereviewarticlelist/yasakhan/movie-review/32503963.cms|title=Yasakhan Movie Review {1/5}: Critic Review of Yasakhan by Times of India}}</ref> In 2015, he appeared in two further unnoticed films which had delayed releases, ''Iravum Pagalum Varum'' alongside [[Ananya (actress)|Ananya]] and ''Buddhanin Sirippu'', co-starring [[Mithra Kurian]] and [[Samuthirakani]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.newindianexpress.com/entertainment/tamil/Still-Buoying-on-Angadi-theru-Fame/2015/03/05/article2697995.ece|title = Still Buoying on Angadi theru Fame}}</ref>
