Darshan Thoogudeepa, known as “Challenging Star Darshan” by his fans, is one of the most celebrated actors in the Kannada film industry. Born on February 16, 1977 in Mysuru, he is the son of the veteran Kannada actor Thoogudeepa Srinivas. Darshan inherited his father’s passion for acting.

Before stepping into the industry as hero, Darshan worked behind the camera as a light boy and assistant cameraman. He studied at Ninasam to polish his acting skills. His early career involved small, unnoticed roles in television serials and films. However, it was in 2002 debut as a lead in “Majestic” that gave him instant stardom. His extraordinary role as a gangster won the audience’s hearts. And there was no turning back after that.
Darshan’s most ambitious project came in the form of “Krantiveera Sangolli Rayanna” (2012), where he portrayed the role of the legendary freedom fighter. The film was not only a massive commercial success but also earned him the Karnataka State Film Award for Best Actor, further proving his range as a performer.

His passion for animals is not just a hobby; he is also involved in several animal welfare activities and encourages ethical treatment of pets and wildlife.
Like many public figures, Darshan has also faced controversies. In 2011, he was arrested following a domestic dispute involving his wife. The incident received wide media attention and temporarily affected his public image. However, after issuing a public apology, Darshan made a strong comeback, both personally and professionally. Over the time, his consistent work and humility helped him regain the trust and love of his fans.
