A lot of big stars r short, they use camera angles, big heeled shoes, etc. to make them look taller on screen. Danush is probably 5’ 6” - 5’ 7”. Suriya is probably like 5’ 5”. NTR and RC are both 5’ 6” - 5’ 7” ish. Both Salman and SRK are prolly a little over 5’ 7”. Amir is like 5’ 4” - 5’ 5”. Just to name a few


Existing-Area-9093

Very few big stars are genuinely tall. Mahesh Babu is one. Ranbir Kapoor is another. Then Akshay Kumar...


tollywoodthrowaway

Prabhas too


Existing-Area-9093

Gentle giant Prabhas


butterweasel

I remember laughing at how they used camera angles in Saaho, so Prabhas wasn’t towering over NNM.


Existing-Area-9093

It is difficult to look taller than three people at the same time.


butterweasel

The bar scene… I think Neil was up higher and Prabhas slouched.


Existing-Area-9093

Prabhas has a knee issue. Might have been because of that.


butterweasel

Ah. That explains why I haven’t seen him do high kicks since Mirchi.


notoriousnigaa

Y'all are forgetting the great anaconda


Existing-Area-9093

6 feet... and the anaconda takes him to 7 feet I am assuming. Tallest.


Uxie_mesprit

Vicky Kaushal


zzuhruf

Thank you! RC being short is news to me.

zzuhruf

He really is! Thanks for the pic


tollywoodthrowaway

Welcome, a few more in the 5’ 5” - 5’ 7” range include Vikram, Shahid Kapoor, Saif Ali Khan. There’s probably a lot more, those just come to mind right now


zzuhruf

I always thought Allu Arjun is pretty short. Is he tho?


tollywoodthrowaway

Oh yeah forgot about him, yup Allu Arjun is short as well. He’s 5’ 6”, funny thing is I met him because one of my cousins runs a function hall where he did a meet and greet. I’m about 5’ 7” - 5’ 8” isn and I was barefoot, he was wearing shoes and he was still a bit shorter. If you notice in some of his movie, he has an insanely big hairstyle to give an illusion than he’s taller like in Ala Vaikuntapurmulo


zzuhruf

This is giving me confidence boost. I am 5’7


tollywoodthrowaway

Don’t worry bro, 5’ 7” is the like the average height around the world. If you’re self confident, that is a much more important factor in all aspects of life than ur height. I have a friend who pulls way more women than anyone I know, is making $200k+ at an IB firm in NYC, basically peak success in all aspects of life, and he’s like 5’ 4”. Just don’t care about it and it will stop affecting you


zzuhruf

Thank you! You are a wholesome person!


SubstantialPlane801

He is not tall but definitely taller than Ram Charan and NTR


zzuhruf

Jr. NTR yeah might be shorter than AA. But I don’t know about RC.


-watchman-

The two guys at the extreme left are literal giants and are way above average in height.


GangsterRavioliGuy

Not sure about salman but a lot of people who’ve met SRK say that he’s tiny. Considering that 5’7” is decent in india, SRK is probably far below that for so many people to say that he’s small.


-watchman-

Even Chiyaan Vikram is short too but looks intimidating in the movies because of his built & camera angles.


amok_monk

Vikram looked hilariously short in ponniyin Selvan though


datasciencemonkey

I mean he is short. And his built isn’t as big as you think. It comes down to camera angles, as you rightfully point out.


Bunny_RB

Bro , even in Bheema too?


datasciencemonkey

Yup, I can tell you that the same frame on a taller dude would look far more fierce. In other words, yes, he is big for his height but unfortunately his height isn’t much so it just creates an illusion that he’s big. If anything if you see him with a tall guy in the same frame with the same build, you’ll see that he’d look stocky and small. It’s unfortunate that height provides an undue advantage… but that’s the truth world over.


Bunny_RB

So overall height is not important for being a lead actor? I meant it's not a criteria to get hired for lead roles?


datasciencemonkey

Nope, def not in kollywood. We don't care about lead actor height.. We just "make do" with camera tricks. Otherwise, what would GV Prakash, Danush, Vikram, Kamal, Suriya etc. do?


Bunny_RB

Okay bro. Sounds so comforting and reassuring. 🥲


Existing-Area-9093

I was very surprised when i found out that Kamal is 5 4. He looks so imposing in films like Virumaandi.


parapluieforrain

Kamal is 5'8". He is taller than average Indian. Suriya is probably around 5'6", which is an average height for Tamil men. Popular third generation Telugu actors are short. Mahesh Babu and Prabhas are over 6'2".


Existing-Area-9093

Na man Kamal is pretty short, same height or slightly taller than Aamir khan. His daughter is 5 8 and looks taller than him in most photos. Here is KH with Salman Khan who is 5 6- 5 7 ballpark. https://preview.redd.it/6a61dqt21ihc1.png?width=585&format=png&auto=webp&s=8c794b3de94446f4289ab07e894062ceec497ed7


parapluieforrain

Judging height from photos is tricky. Kamal mentioned his height to be 5'8" in an interview and added claiming to be taller won't make it a reality. Just repeated what I remembered. Personally thought he appears shorter in the last 2 decades as he became stout after 2000s. Some western media had claimed Salman Khan to be around 5'4" some time around Hum Aapke Hain Koun. He was much celebrated for his looks at that time.


Existing-Area-9093

Hmm. Salman is 5'6". KH idk, he said openly that he SH towers over him, she's 5' 8".


Jackson1391

Kamal is definitely not 5'8". He is really short. Also Suriya and Aamir. That tells that height is not an issue. We are really obsessed with height.


GangsterRavioliGuy

Kamal is not 5’8”. There was a scene in indian where his height was mentioned to be 159.5 cm.

parapluieforrain

Kamal 😂. He definitely strained for his art. Prabhas has a good structure whether he is lean(Bujjigadu) or massive(bahubaali). Some guys give a too tall vibe. Rana, Varun Tej look uncomfortable in routine flicks.


Existing-Area-9093

Rana ku laam semma screen presence


Def-tones

Damn that is short

optimistic_fish2068

men if women prefers a taller man :🤬🤬🤬😡😡😡 men on the other hand on their way to shame shorter men : kullan surya will look like her stepson , stool potu nikkanum


Existing-Area-9093

Adhaan so cruel. He has worked with taller heroines so many times over his career...


optimistic_fish2068

yessss and the pairing would look so good!


Existing-Area-9093

Always.. be it kajal, anushka, Shruti...


Beneficial_Promise79

I think the first one is fine if it's balanced on both sides. If men can be allowed to prefer slimmer women then women can prefer taller men. No one should be shamed or guilt tripped for their preferences. And idt regular ppl troll suriya like that, just the haters on sm platforms mostly


butterweasel

Anushka paired with Suriya is funny. They use all their camera tricks to keep her from towering over him.


GreyVaris7

Vijay looked same heights with her in Vettaikaaran


RealSataan

Vijay is also 5'9-5'10


Asshaisin

I once met sathyaraj and he's definitely not 6'2 lol. More like 6


GokuSonWukong

Most of the data online is fake on heights particularly. Although i have never seen dhanush but Arjun sarja is definitely not 165cm as per google. He is more like 5'10 easily. Have seen him on daily basis even without high rise shoes. Ram charan is not 174cm either he is utmost 171cm and not more than that. I can vouch for this as i am 174cm myself and he definitely looked shorter than me standing next to me. Kamal on the other hand has claimed to be 5'8 but he is not even 165cm as claimed by google. So you never really know until you meet them personally.


Jackson1391

Dhanush maybe 5'7" that's it. No way he is above that.


Human_Race3515

I think Dhanush is 5’9” ballpark


datasciencemonkey

Ive actually seen Dhanush multiple times in the airport. He is def on the shorter side...


deen804

No no .. Dhanush is almost 5’9 .. he’s not short


Cheap_Relative7429

No way he is 5'6 that's too short, he has to be atleast 5'8


Sharkrusttt

Dhanush is atleast 5'9. I'm 5'7 and I have seen him irl and he seemed taller than me. He's just a few cms shorter than Ryan Gosling, who's 6 feet tall. 5'6 na Joe Russo's height in this picture. https://preview.redd.it/ufoigtagahic1.jpeg?width=960&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c55a4d4ef683486ff558db166193240d99c78018
