Jailer 2’s Moorthy gave up a lucrative software job in US to become an actor
Namo Narayanan, an actor who gained prominence through his role as Moorthy in the film Jailer 2, once held a high-paying software engineer position in Bahrain, Dubai, Malaysia, and the US before his acting career took off. Initially, he pursued filmmaking as an assistant director, working as a business consultant in the US before leaving his corporate job.
Despite being cast as an assistant director in Naadodigal, a misunderstanding led to him being transformed into a full-time actor. Through hard work and dedication, the character of Moorthy became a beloved figure, resulting in Namo's successful acting career with over 80 films and renewed attention after Jailer 2's release.
