Bio

About

R. Lingaraju, better known by his screen name Bala Rajwadi, is an Indian film and stage actor and occasional director, prominent in Kannada cinema. He was born on 27 October 1973 in Mysore, Karnataka. He began his acting journey in theatre: from around 1993 he performed with the theatre group Janamana, honing his craft on stage. He also founded Niranthara Foundation in 1999, a theatre group aimed at using performance arts (stage plays, documentaries) to address social issues. Bala made his film debut in Kannada in 1997 with Nodu Baa Nammoora. Thereafter, though he acted in some roles, it’s from around 2016-onwards that his presence in Kannada films increased significantly. He is best known for playing negative-shaded or antagonist characters. Some of his notable films include Mufti (2017), Bhairava Geetha (2018) – which gave him a major break in films – Panchatantra (2019), Damayanthi, Fortuner (2019), Melody Drama (2023), among others. His filmography runs to over 90 films. In terms of languages, his work is almost entirely in Kannada cinema. There’s no strong evidence he has acted substantially in other film industries (Telugu/Malayalam/Tamil) beyond occasional crossover or bilingual releases.
