Bigg Boss Telugu Season 10 has officially kicked off and the grand launch is already bringing familiar faces into the spotlight. Hosted by Nagarjuna, the premiere is introducing the contestants one by one before sending them into the Bigg Boss house.
Bengali actress Debjanee Modak became the first contestant to enter the house and she was followed by actor Thrigun, who walked in as the second contestant of the new season. While regular Telugu cinema followers may already know the actor, Bigg Boss Telugu 10 is set to introduce him to an even wider audience.
But who exactly is Thrigun, and what has he done before entering Nagarjuna’s reality-show house?
Who Is Thrigun?
Thrigun is the screen name of Indian actor Adith Arun, who has primarily worked in the Telugu and Tamil film industries. Born on June 8, 1990, in Chennai, the actor has been part of the film industry for more than 15 years. His journey began in 2009 when he made his acting debut with the Telugu thriller Katha which also featured Genelia D’Souza.
Although the film had an average theatrical run, it opened the door to more opportunities for the young actor. Over the years, he went on to take up leading and important roles in films across Telugu and Tamil cinema.
Why Did Adith Arun Change His Name To Thrigun?
Fans who remember the actor as Adith Arun may have noticed that he now goes by a very different screen name.
In 2022, he officially adopted the name Thrigun. It marked what he described as a fresh phase in his professional journey. Since then, the new name has been used for his film projects and public appearances.
His Bigg Boss Telugu 10 entry now gives audiences another chance to know the actor beyond his work on screen.
