Bala Singh was a theatre artist before he began his career as an actor in Tamil films. Though he stepped foot in Malayalam in 1983, it was his Tamil debut flick Avatharam (1995) that got him the big break. Avatharam marked the directorial debut of actor Nasser.

His collaboration with actor Kamal Haasan in Virumaandi and Indian earned him a big time recognition. In the later part of his career, Bala Singh’s performance in “Pudhupettai” of Selvaraghavan gained him a name. Last seen in Maghamuni, Bala Singh also appeared in films like NGK, Jigarthanda, Sarvam Thaala Mayam, Saamy Square, Dheena, Ullasam etc.
