A. L. Azhagappan (born 18 September 1951) is an Indian actor and film producer in Tamil cinema. After making films he has made a career appearing in supporting roles as an actor. His sons A. L. Vijay and Udhaya also work in the film industry.

## Career

[edit]

He was appointed President of Tamil Nadu Producers Council in 2004, and controversially threatened to sue television network Sun TV for showing clips of films.[1] Azhagappan's work was halted in June 2006, when he was arrested in a cheating case for failing to return money to the financier, Vishal Jain, for a film that never began production. The arrest was considered highly political as a result of Azhagappan's declining relationship with the then political supremo, Karunanidhi.[2]

Since 2010, Azhagappan has also worked in film as a supporting actor, notably winning award nominations for his negative role in M. Sasikumar's Easan (2010).
