Aahaa: The doting brother. The understanding husband. The benevolent friend. In Aahaa, Raghuvaran was all this and much more as a man with an interesting past

Amarkkalam: What Raghuvaran truly revelled in was the roles where there was a method to his madness and badness, and turning over a new leaf was just around the corner

Anjali: Raghuvaran played the suave Mani ratnam hero, and once again, he was a man with a secret, but a heartwarming secret that allowed him to explore interesting layers as a husband and a father

Anna Nagar Mudhal Theru: Raghuvaran, in this film, plays the area drunkard, but again not without reason. He doesn't like people, but he is one standup guy when the need arises

En Bommukutti Ammavukku: Grey might actually be Raghuvaran's middle name. In this film, for the longest time, he not only has to fight with the good guy, but also has to subdue the good guy inside him

En Swasa Kaatre: A fun portrayal of a father who clearly loves one son over the other. The centre of a dysfunctional family, Raghuvaran taps into his inner comic genius to deliver terrific scenes

Kandukondain Kandukondain: An understanding boss is the stuff of dreams. And Raghuvaran playing a genial boss to Tabu is exactly that. What a calming presence!

Love Today: How far will a father go to see his son's love story becoming a success? In the original Love Today, Raghuvaran plays a father that a lot of us 90s kids wanted to have

Mugavari: It is often said that 'dreams' and 'passion' isn't for the Indian middle class. However, in every family that supports such a dreamer, there exists a figure like Raghuvaran from Mugavari

Parthen Rasithen: Being misunderstood is a pain in itself, and it is compounded when it is your only blood relative, who you love to bits. It is a rather interesting role for sure!

Run: A rather fun role for Raghuvaran, who brings out an interesting dynamic between brother-in-laws. One of the very few roles that used his comic timing to the hilt

Samsaram Adhu Minsaram: One of the crowning characters in his career, Raghuvaran is brilliant in the role that requires him to be pragmatic and practical, to a fault

Siva: While Rajinikanth and Raghuvaran are known for their hero-villain films, one of their early films together has them as bosom buddies

Thirumalai: After playing father to Vijay in multiple films, Raghuvaran played a brother-figure of sorts to the star in his action film. A loving character that teaches the power of love to the hero

Yaaradi Nee Mohini: IN what became one of his final films, Raghuvaran delivers a compelling performance as a doting father, who is forced to be strict to ensure his son 's future is secured. Poignant.
