Babu Antony, yeah, that tall guy with the intense stare you’ve probably spotted in more than a few South Indian flicks. Born back in ’66 in Ponkunnam, Kerala, he kinda stormed into the film scene with this raw energy that just jumps off the screen. Seriously, if you know anything about Malayalam or Tamil cinema, you’ve seen him either playing the no-nonsense cop, the terrifying villain, or sometimes, just this mysterious dude who walks in and steals the show. He’s not the type to blend in with the crowd. Whether he’s brawling in Leo (2023), going full warrior mode in Ponniyin Selvan (2022), or running the show in Nayak: The Real Hero (2001), there’s always this undercurrent of wildness in his roles. And yeah, he’s not just a one-trick pony—martial arts background, did his own stunts, and that’s part of what made him stand out back in the 80s and 90s when action stars were all about big muscles and bigger mustaches. Even now, in the era of CGI and polished heroes, Babu Antony brings this old-school grit. He’s got this loyal fanbase that just refuses to let him fade away, probably because he never phones it in. There’s something about the way he delivers a line or throws a punch—it’s a mix of drama, danger, and just a bit of that Kerala swagger. So yeah, the guy’s filmography is pretty wild, and he shows no signs of slowing down.
Younger brother of Antony Thekkek, and honestly, that’s not just some random family fact—it actually matters if you’re into Malayalam cinema. See, when you talk about Antony Thekkek, you’re talking about a guy who’s made his mark both in acting and writing, so knowing his younger brother means you’re peeking into a family that’s knee-deep in the arts. These brothers? Not just regular folks—you get a sense there’s something in the water with that family. The younger one’s involvement in the industry kind of adds this second layer to Antony’s legacy. It’s not just a one-man show; it’s a family affair. And if you’ve ever noticed, sometimes the younger siblings end up completely flipping the script, going in directions nobody expected. It’s pretty wild how talent and creativity just run through some families like it’s in their DNA or something. So, next time you see the Thekkek name, there’s a little more going on behind the scenes than you’d guess.
