Harish Kalyan, (born June 29, 1990), is an Indian film actor who has appeared in Tamil language films. He made his debut in the 2010 film, Sindhu Samaveli, opposite Amala Paul.


Harish Kalyan made his debut in Samy's controversial Sindhu Samaveli (2010), portraying the role of Anbu, whose wife has an illicit relationship with her father-in-law. Upon release, the film met with contrasting reviews, whilst some critics refused to give the film a rating, declaring their disgust at the film's plot. Critics described his next role in the Thaman-musical Aridhu Aridhu as "okay", but the film also failed to take a strong opening at the box office. Harish then went on to work in S. A. Chandrasekhar's Sattapadi Kutram, which featured Sathyaraj, Vikranth and Muktha Bhanu in other roles. The film showcased the changes our legal system demands, with Harish playing a spoilt brat who eventually turns over a new leaf in the film. The film opened to poor reviews and did poorly at the box office.


Poriyaalan is an upcoming 2014 Tamil film directed by Thanukumar, written by Manimaran and produced by Vetrimaaran. The film features Harish Kalyan and Anandhi in the leading roles, Velraj is the cinematographer for the venture. The film's shoot is in its post-production stage.

After winning critical acclaim for her debut in the Telugu film Bus Stop (2012), she has signed up for Tamil films including Vetrimaaran's production Poriyaalan and Prabhu Solomon's Kayal, in which she plays the titular character.


She made her debut with the Telugu film Maruthi Dasari's coming to age story Bus Stop (2012), winning critical acclaim for her performance of Seema, a flirt. Featuring alongside an ensemble cast including Prince, Kanna and fellow debut actress Sri Divya, the film opened in November 2012 to a positive critical and commercial response at the box office. A critic noted "she has magnetic looks and can be promising if planned her career properly", while another wrote she "totally rocks her character of a femme fatale with judgement issues and a good heart." Within two days of release of the film, she was offered the lead role opposite Varun Sandesh in his next venture Priyathama Neevachata Kushalama and began filming later in the year. The film released in March 2013 to negative reviews, though a critic claimed "the saving grace for the film is performance of the lead pair - Varun Sandesh and Hasika", adding that Hasika "looks traditional and has put up a decent show as well."

She will next be seen in Vijay Maddala's next directorial venture Green Signal, where she appears alongside newcomer Revanth. Hasika has also signed on to appear in the Tamil film, Poriyaalan alongside Harish Kalyan, which is written by Manimaran. During production, the scope of the film became larger after it was announced that director Vetrimaaran had chosen to invest in the venture as a co-producer. The actress then went on to sign another Tamil project, Prabhu Solomon's directorial venture Kayal, in which she plays the title role. The director decided to rechristen her as Anandhi for the film, and she was selected after auditioning twice before impressing Solomon.
