Tamil cinema has always embraced sentimental themes, particularly around mothers, sisters, and occasionally, fathers. Such emotional portrayals resonate with audiences as they reflect real-life familial bonds. Actors who play these significant roles often leave a lasting impact on viewers.

One such impactful fatherly figure in Tamil cinema is George Maryan. Known for his versatile acting, he started his journey in Tamil cinema with "Azhagi" (2002). He later gained recognition for his roles in movies like "Saivam", "Kalakalappu", and Lokesh Kanagaraj’s "Kaithi" as Constable Napoleon, which solidified his position as a talented character artist.

His portrayal in the recent film "Dragon" has won hearts. Playing the father of the protagonist (Pradeep Ranganathan), George Maryan delivered a deeply emotional performance. One particular dialogue in the climax – "Don’t worry son, get up and run again, I am here" – has moved audiences, sparking a wave of emotional responses on social media.

George Maryan’s realistic performance in "Dragon" ensures the film's spot among other beloved father-centric Tamil movies. His character, supportive and uplifting, resonates deeply with those who have experienced paternal sacrifices. His ability to convincingly portray such roles makes him one of Tamil cinema’s most cherished supporting actors.
