Amresh Ganesh was born to industrialist Ganesh and film actress
Jayachitra, with the actress launching him as a child artiste in
Pudhiya Raagam (1991) before relaunching him as an actor several years later. Amresh first gained attention by composing for a four-language music album titled
Jeevitham, which was released in 2008 and featured singers including
S. P. Balasubrahmanyam,
Karthik and
Sujatha. Despite
Jayachitra directing his debut through
Naane Ennul Illai (2010), the film's failure made it difficult for Amresh to succeed as an actor. In 2011, it was announced that he would work on projects titled
Kaliyuga Kadhalan and
Machan Ava En Aalu Da, with the former being set in three different eras, but neither film was completed. Later in the year, Jayachitra announced that she was working on three more films with Amresh in the lead role,
Mundru Mugangal,
Nedunchalai and
Scene Podathey, but again neither film materialised. He also shot for a comedy film titled
Kadan Vaangi Kalyanam alongside
Mansoor Ali Khan during late 2011, but the film also did not release. In 2013, he briefly worked on the making of another incomplete film
Thaaru Maaru, which had a grand launch event. In 2015, he was signed on by producer
R. B. Choudary and director Sai Ramani to work on the music for the film,
Motta Shiva Ketta Shiva (2017) starring
Raghava Lawrence. Prior to the release of the film, actor
Tinku released a video alleging that Amresh had stolen a song titled "Hara Hara Mahadevaki" from a film that he and
Robert were making titled
Thaathaa Car-ai Thodadhae. Tinku alleged that Amresh had worked together with them to create the song during early 2015, but production troubles had shelved the film and subsequently Amresh had taken the song to a different project. In a press meet in February 2017, Amresh Ganesh refuted the claims and provided evidence of Tinku and Robert continuously trying to scam him by gathering funds for the shelved project. Amresh stated that he had developed the song free of cost and had paid for the duo to take part in a failed shoot of the song in
Bangkok, before the film was stalled. Moreover, Amresh revealed that Robert had owned up to playing the song to music composer
Srikanth Deva, and had attempted to include it in another shelved film titled
Minor Kunju Kaanom which Tinku, Robert and Srikanth Deva were involved in. His next release was
Pottu. ==Personal life==
