He acted alongside all major actors and shared a special on-screen chemistry with Kamalhaasan in a string of films that included Nayagan, Aboorva Sagodharargall, Michael Madhana Kamarajan, Avvai Shanmugi and Thenali.
His other memorable films include memorable characters he played in films like Sindhu Bhiaravi, Anni, Iruvar, Priyamaanavalle and Saamy 1 & 2. His last released film was Indian 2.
Delhi Ganesh served in the Indian Air Force from 1964 to 1974 before pursuing a career in films. A warm, compassionate and sincere gentleman, he was well-liked in the industry. Delhi Ganesh was bestowed with the Kalaimamani Award in 1974.
