Career
Junior Balaiah is the third son of actor T. S. Balaiah, who died three days into Junior Balaiah's first film as an actor. T. S. Balaiah was to act in a movie directed by M. R. Radha called Suttaan Sutten, where Radha’s son was to be played by Junior Balaiah and Balaiah’s son was to be played by M. R. R. Vasu, but his death ended the production. Junior Balaiah consequently acted in several films but failed to recreate the success of his father. He subsequently became bankrupt and later began to practice Christianity, setting up a healing centre called Healing Stripes Ministry.
In the 2010s, Balaiah made rare appearances in films and won acclaim for his portrayal of a headmaster in Saattai (2012), while he also appeared in four films in 2015 including Thani Oruvan and Puli. In 2014, Junior Balaiah revealed his intentions of becoming a film producer to launch his son's acting career.
