All in the family in South films

Shruti Haasan: She got her mother's looks and father's talent.
The apple of Kamal Haasan and Sarika's eye, Shruti has proved her versatility onscreen. Most known for Anaganaga Oka Dheerudu, the bombshell is now filming for 7aam Arivu alongside Suriya.

Nag Chaitanya: Born to Akkineni Nagarjuna and his first wife, Lakshmi, Nag has a lineage of famous Telugu cinema stalwarts in his family to look after him should he ever fall. Not that he needs it- his debut in Josh in 2009 got him the Filmfare award for Best Male Debut.

Allu Arjun: Born into the famous Allu family, newlywed Arjun was destined to be a star from the beginning. His performance in Parugu left no one in doubt- this one had inherited the talent too! Nephew to Chiranjeevi and Pawan Kalyan, the competition is all in the family- with cousin Ram Charan Teja also vying for the topspot.

Jr NTR: Son to actor/politician Nandamuri Harikrishna and Shalini and grandson to Legendary actor turned politician NTR, Jr NTR's journey from Ramayanam to Kanthri, including the likes of Yamadonga and Aadi, has been dream like.

Rana Daggubati: Born to film producer D. Suresh Babu, Rana had a grandfather in D. Ramanaidu and was already looked upon as a big star. With blessings from uncles Venkatesh and Nagarjuna and some tough competition from cousin Nag Chaitanya, Rana is all set to make a mark not only down south, but in Bollywood too. His performance in Dum Maaro Dum makes good on his acting credentials- we know he's a star alright!

Venkatesh: Victory Venkatesh is a name unto himself in Telugu cinema. Son of veteran Tollywood film producer and former MP, Dr. D. Ramanaidu, Venkatesh has an envious list of hits, including the likes of Jayam Manade Raa and Ganesh.

Manoj Manchu: Mohan Babu's younger one, Manoj started off as a promising child actor but is yet to make a strong impression in the minds of cinegoers. The 2010 hit Bindaas (2010) showed some promise, but we hope there's more on the anvil.

Soundarya Rajinikanth: Megastar Rajini's daughter went the other way as a film graphic designer, producer and director- with the looks to match a beauty queen. From her work, we know Anbe Aaruyire the best.

Aishwarya Rajinikanth: Doting daughter to Rajini, wife to Dhanush and mother of two Aishwarya manages plays many more roles. The singer/dancer turned assistant director with Aayirathil Oruvan.

Suriya: With three Tamil Nadu State Film Awards and three Filmfare Awards South, Suriya fast moved out of famous father Sivakumar's shadow. With films like Perazhagan (2004), Ghajini (2005), Vel (2007), Vaaranam Aayiram (2008), Ayan (2009) and Singam (2010) in his impressive resume, there is no stopping this one.

Karthi Sivakumar: Suriya's li'l bro had big shoes to fill as he made his acting debut in 2007 with Paruthiveeran. Good then that the movie received rave reviews, earning him the Filmfare Award South for Best Actor. He went on to appear in high-grossing movies like Aayirathil Oruvan, Paiyaa, Naan Mahaan Alla and Siruthai.

Pranav Mohanlal: Crazy haired Pranav won the Kerala State Film Award for Best Child Artist for his role in the film Punarjani, but has failed to impress since. We got our eyes on him!

Vikram Prabhu: Prabhu Ganesan's eldest son and grandson of actor Sivaji Ganesan, Vikram turned producer with Aasal (2010). He's planning to soon play the acting card too- let's see how that works out.

Ram Charan Teja: Son of Chiranjeevi, grandson of veteran comedian Allu Rama Lingaiah, nephew of actor Pawan Kalyan and producer Nagendra Babu, brand ambassador for Pepsi and Airtel: period!!

Dhanush: Son of film director Kasthuri Raja, Dhanush's acting talent has already earned him a National Film Award for Best Actor for his performance in Aadukalam and a place in the Rajinikanth family- he's married to Aishwarya.

Lakshmi Manchu: Mohan Babu's only daughter, Lakshmi is an actress, producer and a television host with endearing looks. With international shows like Las Vegas and Desperate Housewives in her resume, she's going places.
